What Are Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit it. Cookies serve various purposes, such as keeping the site functioning correctly, remembering your preferences, and helping website operators understand how their site is used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are simple text files. Your browser stores them and sends them back to the website on each subsequent visit.
There are different types of cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting; third-party cookies are set by other domains.

Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, certain features of the site would not work. They do not collect any information that could be used to identify you or track your browsing on other websites. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable Polish law.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information in aggregate form. This information helps us improve the structure and content of the site. Analytics cookies are placed only if you have given your consent through our cookie preference tool.

Cookie Details
Your Consent
When you visit this website for the first time, a small "Cookie preferences" button appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Clicking it opens a preference panel where you can choose which categories of non-essential cookies to allow.
Your choices are stored in the xgi_consent cookie for up to 12 months so that you do not need to make the same choice on every visit. After 12 months, we will ask for your consent again.
You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link, which remains visible on every page of the website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before withdrawal. Strictly necessary cookies will continue to be used regardless of your preference choices, as they are required for the site to function.
