Why do we need cookies and how they function

[4] One group of cookies are functionally and technically necessary cookies, without which it would be impossible to use the website in a proper way, because websites are made in such a way that they do not support session statuses, therefore, websites do not have their own memory and when a user views different sections of a website, the website does not recognise that this is one and the same user. Cookies allow the website to recognise the user. Therefore, the main function of cookies is to allow the server of the website to get information about the session of the user, the language used, the currency and so on, as well as to ensure proper operation of the website. This group of cookies also includes the cookies, which store your choice regarding your consent to use or refusal to use analytical cookies, so that your choice is made without regular questions regarding your consent to the use of cookies.

[5] The second group of cookies are analytical cookies, which are necessary to help analyse the website, for example, understand actions of users on the website, thus providing us with the opportunity to improve the website and to provide a better website to users using services analysing actions of uses provided by Google Analytics, which is used for the purposes of legitimate interests of the controller, to enable the controller to provide, develop and perform economic activity in the current conditions of the information society. At the same time, you may refuse from the use of analytical cookies, which means that only functional cookies will be installed, without which the operation of the website will be impossible.
