This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how they may be used on UK4u.pl, and how users can manage their preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files or data entries stored in a user’s browser or on their device. They may be used to ensure the website functions properly, remember settings, measure traffic, protect against abuse and – where the required consent has been obtained – for advertising purposes.
Cookie categories
- strictly necessary – enable the website’s basic operation, security, login functions and storage of consent choices;
- functional – remember selected settings and improve the user experience;
- analytics – help us understand how users use the website and which content is most useful;
- advertising – may be used to display ads, limit their frequency, personalise them and measure their performance.
User consent
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because they are required for the operation of the selected service. Analytics, functional or advertising cookies that are not strictly necessary should only be activated after valid user consent has been obtained.
Users should be able to accept or reject cookies, make detailed choices by category, and later change or withdraw their decision.
Google advertising
If Google AdSense advertising is enabled again on UK4u.pl, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to display and measure ads. The advertising system should respect the user’s choices communicated through the appropriate consent management system. A detailed list of providers and processing purposes should be available in the consent settings panel.
Third-party content and services
Embedded videos, maps, social media buttons or other elements supplied by external services may result in information being read or stored by their providers. Where required by applicable law, such elements should remain blocked until the appropriate consent has been given.
How to manage cookies
Preferences can be changed using the “Privacy settings” button or link available on the website once the consent mechanism has been implemented. Cookies can also be deleted or blocked in the browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause some website functions to operate incorrectly.
Cookie list
[TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE PUBLICATION: a table listing the cookie or technology name, provider, purpose, category and retention period. The list should be prepared after a technical audit of the website’s active features.]
