However, some of this information, depending on its content and usage, may be attributed to a specific individual and therefore qualify as personal data. Such information is subject to the provisions of the Privacy Policy concerning personal data, with the legal basis for its processing being the legitimate interest of the Controller or a third party (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), understood as ensuring the proper functioning of the VOD platform and conducting statistics/analyses. • The Controller uses the following types of cookies on the VOD platform: • Session cookies – Temporary files stored on the user's device until the website is exited or the browser is closed; • Persistent cookies – Files stored on the user's device for a period specified in the cookie parameters or until the user deletes them; • Necessary cookies – Files essential for the functioning of the VOD platform, used to ensure its proper and secure operation; • Analytical and functional cookies – Files enabling: • Optimization of the VOD platform usage, particularly recognizing the user's device and appropriately displaying the website tailored to their individual needs; • Creating statistics and analyses to understand how users interact with the VOD platform, allowing improvements in its structure and content, as well as detecting abuse; • Marketing cookies – Files used to display advertisements tailored to the user's interests on the VOD platform. • The VOD platform uses both Controller's cookies and third-party cookies. • Google Analytics The VOD platform uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies stored on your computer, enabling the use of the VOD platform. Information on how the user interacts with the VOD platform is generally transmitted to and stored on Google's servers in the United States. The VOD platform uses IP anonymization. This means your IP address will be shortened by Google within EU member states or other countries in the European Economic Area before transmission. The full IP address will only be sent to Google's servers in the United States in exceptional cases. Google uses the transmitted information to analyze how you use the VOD platform, generate reports on VOD platform activity, and provide other services to the Controller related to the use of the VOD platform and the internet. The IP address identified by Google Analytics will not be associated with other data collected by Google. • Remarketing The VOD platform uses remarketing tools to display advertisements to you on Facebook (Facebook Pixel) and Google (Google Display Network). • Web beacons In addition to cookies, the VOD platform may collect data typically gathered by web administrators in the form of logs or files. Information contained in the logs may include your IP address, platform and browser type, internet service provider, and the website from which you accessed the VOD platform. Some subpages within the VOD platform may contain web beacons. Web beacons enable the collection of information such as the IP address of the computer on which the page was loaded, the URL of the page, the loading time, browser type, and information contained in cookies to evaluate the effectiveness of advertisements. • IP Address The Controller reserves the right to collect IP addresses of visitors to the VOD platform, which may assist in diagnosing technical issues with the server, creating statistical analyses (e.g., identifying regions with the most visits), and improving the administration and enhancement of the VOD platform. IP addresses are collected anonymously, meaning they are not linked to any user data. • In many cases, web browser software allows the storage of cookies on the user's end device by default. Users can modify their cookie settings at any time, particularly to block the automatic handling of cookies in the browser settings or to notify them each time cookies are placed on the user's device. Detailed information on managing cookies can be found in the browser settings. • Please note that restricting the use of cookies may affect some functionalities or prevent the use of certain resources on the VOD platform.
