Cookies
This page explains which cookies we use, why we use them and how you can change or withdraw your consent at any time.
A cookie is a small text record that a website stores in your browser so it can connect your next request to the previous one.
Necessary cookies are set without asking. The law allows this (Section 109(8) of Slovak Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications) because the site does not work properly without them: they hold the session needed to submit the contact form, protect forms against forged requests and remember your cookie decision. They include the record of that decision itself — including a refusal. If we did not store a refusal, the banner would ask you again on every page.
Everything else waits for your consent. Google’s analytics cookies come into existence only once you allow the analytics category — until then Google Analytics does not load at all and the site sends no request to Google’s servers. Before consent is given, this site loads no third-party content.
You can change or withdraw your decision at any time — on this page, or through the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and costs you nothing: the site keeps working, just without traffic measurement. If you withdraw analytics consent, we also remove the analytics cookies from your browser.
The complete list of cookies — with each one’s provider, purpose and duration — is shown below under the individual categories.

Required for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. The site does not function properly without them.

They allow third-party content to load. On this site we use them only to show the Google Maps embed on the Contact page. Without your consent the map does not load and no request reaches Google’s servers.
This site stores no marketing cookie of its own. Once the map has loaded, however, Google may store its own cookies on its own domains.
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser — view them, delete them or block them. If you block necessary cookies, the site may not work properly; for example, the contact form may not submit.
Google Analytics is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Measurement data may be transferred to the USA. The transfer relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
We also record your cookie decision on the server — the chosen categories, the time of the decision, a truncated IP address and browser information. Article 7(1) GDPR requires us to be able to demonstrate that you gave consent. The IP address is stored truncated, so it cannot identify a specific connection, and the record is deleted automatically after 24 months.
