Introduction
The purpose of this document is to transparently inform users of the website grandoly.com („Website“) about the use of cookies and to describe the control measures and options available to you in connection with your rights to data protection.

What are cookies?
Cookies are short text files created by a web server and stored on your computer via your browser. If you return to the same website, your browser will send back the stored file, allowing the server to retrieve all the information it previously stored about you.
How and why are cookies used?
Cookies are essential for functional website analytics. Statistics and other measurement systems operate based on cookies, storing visitor identifiers, source of visit, time, etc. The collected data is loaded and supplemented on subsequent pages, enabling the tracking of individual users.
How are cookies used for session management?
These small text files also store the state of user login (into website administration, e-commerce, social networks, etc.). This type of cookie is called an authentication cookie. Without this cookie, the server wouldn't be able to distinguish that the user has already been verified and logged in, and would require re-authentication on each subsequent page.
What types of cookies are there?
First-party cookies — small text files stored via scripts running on the domain itself. These cookies are generally considered safer, passing through firewalls and strict security settings more easily. For example, Google Analytics (by default) uses this type of cookie.
Third-party cookies — cookies stored using scripts loaded from another domain. The same cookie can be read across different websites, enabling user tracking across multiple domains.
Why cookies?
As you may have guessed, 'cookie' in English means 'cookie' or 'biscuit'. This name originates from the Anglo-Saxon custom of offering visitors a biscuit to create a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
Which types of cookies do we use?
Cookies can be divided into two types based on their durability. One type is temporary (session cookies), stored only as long as your browser is open. The other type is long-term (persistent cookies), which remain stored for longer or until you manually delete them from your browser.
In terms of functionality, cookies can also be categorised into several types. The first type is remarketing cookies, used to personalise our advertising content and target it correctly. The next are analytical cookies, which help us understand how users interact with our website to improve their experience. Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the website. Another type we use is conversion cookies, which help us analyse the performance of conversion channels. The final category are tracking cookies (also known as tracking cookies), which, in combination with conversion cookies, help evaluate the performance of various conversion channels.
Some cookies may collect information used directly by third parties. These cookies support our advertising activities (PPC systems like AdWords, Sklik, etc.). They allow us to tailor banner and ad displays on your visited websites. However, based on these data, you cannot be personally identified.
