Cookie Policy and Internet Technologies
This Cookie Policy supplements the PRIVACY POLICY regarding the processing of personal data through the use of cookies, pixels (pixel tags), and other internet technologies, as well as the processing of personal data via such tools, applied on the official website of the Administrator located at www.epicentrumgallery.com (hereinafter: the Service).
I.GENERAL INFORMATION
- Cookies (“small text files”) are IT data, particularly text files, stored on the User’s end device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone) and intended for use with the Service’s web pages. Cookies are not harmful to Users or their devices and do not adversely affect their operation. They do not cause configuration changes in end devices or the software installed on those devices.
- The Service uses two main types of cookies:
• Session cookies – temporary files stored on the User’s end device until they leave the website or close their web browser.
• Persistent cookies – files stored on the User’s end device for a duration specified in the cookie parameters or until deleted by the User. - Web browsing software (internet browsers) usually allows cookies to be stored on the User’s end device by default. Users of the Service can change these settings since internet browsers allow cookies to be deleted. It is also possible to block cookies automatically. Detailed information on this topic can be found in the help section or documentation of the browser being used.
- The Service may use the following types of cookies:
• “Necessary cookies” – enable the use of services available through the Service, such as authentication cookies for services requiring login within the Service.
• Security cookies – used to ensure security, such as detecting authentication-related abuses within the Service.
• “Performance cookies” – allow the collection of information about how Users interact with the website.
• “Functional cookies” – enable the “remembering” of User-selected settings and personalization of the User interface, e.g., language preferences, region, font size, or website appearance.
• “Advertising cookies” – allow the delivery of advertising content tailored to Users’ interests and visits to the website, including remarketing purposes using so-called third-party cookies. - Depending on the specific website or mobile application being used, the type and quantity of cookies may vary.
SCOPE OF DATA COLLECTED
- Cookies identify the data of the device and browser used to browse websites – for example, they can determine whether a specific device has visited the website before. Cookies typically contain the name of the website they originate from, the duration of their storage on the end device, and a unique number.
- Through the Service, the Administrator may process data regarding how the website is accessed and used via a computer, tablet, smartphone, or other devices. Some of these data, when combined with other information, may constitute personal data.
- Using internet technologies, the Administrator may process the following data:
a) Device data: device type/model, unique device identifiers, MAC address, IP address, operating system, operating system version and device settings, preferred language, screen resolution, browser version, and browser type.
b) Logs/events: time of using the Service, search data, and any information stored in cookies that uniquely identify the browser or User account.
c) Location data: IP address, User’s location obtained using various positioning technologies (latitude and longitude, ISP, e.g., Play/Orange, or other location data provided by the User), such as GPS, Wi-Fi access points, or other sensors that provide data about the nearby environment (upon the User’s consent).
d) Other usage data: additional information may be processed if the User visits or interacts with the Administrator’s websites, such as UTM parameters (traffic source), advertising campaigns leading to the visit, referrers, links clicked, the number of clicks, views of dynamic content on the website, the advertisements viewed by the User, and where those advertisements were seen. - In connection with accessing the Administrator’s Service, data from the User’s end device are processed automatically as a result of visiting or performing activities on the website. This allows the Administrator to evaluate certain factors related to individuals, analyze their behavior, and predict future actions. However, such analysis does not involve making significant decisions about the User.
II.PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS OF THE INTERNET TECHNOLOGIES USED
- The Administrator uses internet technologies for the following purposes:
a) To ensure the functioning, security, and reliability of the Service;
b) To adapt the content of the Service’s web pages to the User’s preferences and optimize their use, including improving the website’s performance and ensuring it meets the User’s individual needs;
c) To analyze and create statistics that help understand how Users interact with the Service, enabling improvements to its structure and content. - The use of cookies or similar technologies on the Administrator’s websites occurs with the User’s consent. This consent is given by using the website without changing browser settings, for analytical, statistical purposes, and for adapting the website to individual User needs. In doing so, the User agrees that cookies or similar technologies may be stored on their end device (computer, tablet, smartphone) and that the Administrator may use the information stored in the cookies.
- The User can withdraw their consent or object to the processing of their personal data at any time by changing the cookie settings in their browser or using other methods to adjust cookie preferences.
- Most browsers are set by default to accept all cookies. However, it is possible to change browser settings to require confirmation before accepting cookies, to accept or reject specific types of cookies, or to reject all cookies entirely.
- Users should note that some cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Administrator’s websites, and disabling or removing them may reduce their functionality.
- Cookies or other technologies are used automatically; however, this does not mean that the Administrator’s websites use them for automated decision-making or to create legal consequences that could harm the interests or privacy of Users.
III. FUNCTIONALITIES OR TECHNOLOGIES OF EXTERNAL PROVIDERS
- The Administrator may use services and tools provided by external suppliers on the Service’s website, particularly for delivering services accessible via the Service (e.g., chat services, callpage tools).
- Social media plugins provided by third-party entities, such as Facebook (“Like” or “Share” buttons), may be used on the Administrator’s websites or fan pages. These plugins are marked with the widely recognized icons of these networks. To enable such plugins, a corresponding code referring to these social networks is placed on the appropriate pages. Content from the Administrator’s websites may then be shared with the given service. Depending on the User’s privacy settings, this content may be visible publicly or privately (e.g., only to friends, followers, or anyone visiting the User’s profile).
Through these plugins, logged-in Users of such networks can share the page they are on. However, the plugin will load only if Users activate it via the corresponding icon. Once activated, the plugin content is sent directly from the respective social network to the User’s end device and displayed there. If the activation option is selected, it will remain enabled during the User’s visits to the Administrator’s Service. Users can deactivate the buttons at any time by clicking “Undo.” Without proper activation, the plugins remain inactive, and no connection to the social media services is established.
- The Administrator’s websites may also contain external links, for example, to its Facebook page. The Administrator has no control over what data the providers of plugins or social media pages collect or how they process it. To obtain information about the purpose and scope of data collection, including the cookies used, further data processing, and use by external providers, as well as the User’s rights and privacy protection settings, Users can refer to the respective provider’s data protection policy.
TRANSFER OF DATA OUTSIDE THE EEA
In connection with the possibility of sharing data collected through cookies with the Administrator’s external providers, the Administrator informs that some data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Such data transfers may occur based on standard contractual clauses in accordance with the European Commission’s decision or with the explicit consent of the User.
IV.OBJECTION AND WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT TO COOKIE INSTALLATION
- The User may withdraw their consent or object at any time to the use of data contained in cookies or similar technologies by the Administrator or its partners. To do so, the User can use the cookie consent management tool by clicking the cookie banner or changing their browser settings.
- Browser settings can be adjusted to require acceptance of cookies, accept or reject specific types of cookies, or reject all cookies. Detailed information on managing cookies can be found in the browser’s settings, help documentation, or by contacting the software provider for instructions on disabling and deleting cookies.
- Cookies stored by the Administrator can be deleted by the User after they are saved, using browser settings or other tools designed for this purpose.
- Some cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website. Users should note that deleting or disabling them may reduce website functionality.
- If an opt-out cookie is placed (a cookie used solely to record the User’s objection), it will only function in the browser where it was saved. If all cookies are deleted, or the User switches to a different browser or device, the opt-out settings must be reconfigured.
