Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy supplements the Privacy Policy and concerns the principles of using internet technologies—such as cookies, pixel tags, and similar tools—on the official website of the Administrator available at www.pricemind.eu (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”). This document defines how these technologies are used and sets out the rules for processing personal data collected through them.

§ 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Cookies are small data files, typically text files, stored and saved on the User’s device (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet). Their purpose is to ensure the correct functioning of the Website and to improve its usability. Cookies are not harmful—they do not affect the User’s device or software, nor do they modify system settings or configuration.

The Website uses two main types of cookies:

• Session cookies – temporary files that remain on the User’s device until they leave the Website or close their browser.
• Persistent cookies – remain stored for the period specified in their parameters or until deleted by the User.

Most web browsers accept cookies by default. The User may manage browser settings to:

• delete saved cookies,
• block automatic cookie storage,
• configure preferences for specific types of cookies.

Detailed information on managing cookies is available in the browser’s documentation.

The Website may use the following types of cookies:

• Necessary cookies – enable core Website functions such as logging in or form handling.
• Security cookies – support fraud prevention and detection of unauthorized login attempts.
• Analytical/performance cookies – gather statistical data on how the Website is used.
• Functional cookies – enable personalization (e.g., language, layout, font size).
• Advertising cookies – serve advertisements tailored to User preferences, including remarketing (e.g., third-party cookies).

The number, scope, and purpose of cookies may differ depending on the specific subpage or mobile version of the Website used.

§ 2. SCOPE OF DATA COLLECTED

Cookies and other technologies used on the Website enable the identification of the User’s device and browser parameters, such as whether the device has previously visited the Website. Standard cookie data includes, among others, the source domain name, storage duration, and a unique identifier.

The Administrator may process information about how the Website is used from a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device. Some of these data—combined with additional information—may constitute personal data within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the GDPR.

In particular, the following categories of data may be processed:

• Technical data: device type/model, operating system and version, language, screen resolution, browser type and version, IP address, MAC address, unique device identifiers;
• Event logs: session duration, user activity, search queries, clicks, cookie identifiers recognizing the browser or user;
• Location data: approximate location derived from IP or positioning technologies (e.g., GPS, Wi-Fi, device sensors) — only with the User’s consent;
• Marketing and analytical data: traffic sources (e.g., UTM campaigns), referrers, link clicks, impressions of dynamic content, interactions with ads.

Data collected via internet technologies may be processed automatically for analytical and optimization purposes. The Administrator may use such data to infer User preferences but does not make automated decisions that produce legal effects or significantly affect Users, in accordance with Article 22(1) GDPR.

§ 3. PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASIS OF INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES

The Administrator uses internet technologies (cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking tools) for the following purposes:

• ensuring proper operation, security, and stability of the Website;
• tailoring content and optimizing functionality (e.g., saving settings, content personalization);
• conducting statistical analyses and preparing reports on Website use.

The legal bases for data processing are:

• Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – for cookies essential to Website operation, based on the legitimate interest of the Administrator;
• Article 6(1)(a) GDPR – for other cookies (analytical, functional, marketing) requiring the User’s prior consent.

Using cookies for analytical, statistical, or personalization purposes requires consent, expressed by accepting the cookie banner or by continuing to use the Website without changing browser settings.

The User may withdraw consent or object to processing at any time by changing browser settings or using tools provided within the Website.

Most browsers allow cookies by default, but Users may adjust settings to:

• decide individually about each cookie,
• allow or block selected cookie categories,
• block all cookies entirely.

Technologies used on the Website operate automatically to optimize content and functionality. However, they are not used to make decisions producing legal effects or significantly affecting Users as defined in Article 22 GDPR.

§ 4. THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES AND TOOLS

The Administrator may use third-party services and tools within the Website, particularly to provide certain functions (e.g., chat, contact forms, call page, API integrations).

External analytical and marketing tools may include:

• Google Analytics – collects statistical data about user traffic and behavior;
• Hotjar – analyzes user interactions (e.g., heatmaps, session recordings, surveys) to improve usability.

Using these tools may involve saving cookies or similar technologies on the User’s device and processing data by third-party providers according to their privacy policies. The Administrator has no control over the exact scope of data collected or subsequent processing by these providers.

Users can review the privacy terms of each provider directly:

• Google Analytics: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Hotjar: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy/

§ 5. DATA TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EEA

In connection with the use of third-party technologies (e.g., Google, Meta, Hotjar), the Administrator informs Users that certain data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Such transfers comply with applicable laws, particularly based on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or upon the User’s explicit consent.

§ 6. OBJECTION AND COOKIE CONSENT MANAGEMENT

Users may withdraw consent or object to the use of cookies and similar technologies at any time by:

• clicking the cookie consent banner (consent management tool),
• changing browser settings.

Browsers allow configuration options such as:

• requiring confirmation for each cookie,
• allowing or blocking selected cookie categories,
• disabling all cookies entirely.

Cookies already stored may be deleted at any time via browser settings or other tools. However, disabling or deleting essential cookies may limit Website functionality.

In case of an opt-out cookie (a technical cookie expressing objection), please note:

• it works only in the browser where it was set,
• deleting all cookies also removes the opt-out cookie,
• when using another device or browser, preferences must be set again.

§ 7. DATA RETENTION PERIOD

Data collected via cookies are stored for the period defined in each cookie’s technical parameters.
Session cookies are deleted after closing the browser session, while persistent cookies are stored for up to 12 months unless deleted earlier by the User.

The processing period for personal data collected through cookies may also depend on the duration of analytical or marketing purposes, respecting data minimization and purpose limitation principles.

§ 8. CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THE COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy may be updated due to technological developments, legal changes, or modifications to the Website’s operation.

In the event of significant changes (e.g., new cookie categories or providers), the User will be informed upon the next visit via a cookie banner or on-site notice.

The current version of this Cookie Policy is always available under the “Cookie Policy” section in the Website footer.
