When a visitor accesses the website at [website URL], a small file called a "cookie" is placed on their computer, which can serve several purposes.
Some cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site ("session cookies"), while others collect information regarding the use of the website (statistical cookies) to make the site more convenient and useful.

These are necessary for browsing and using basic functions. Without session cookies, smooth website usage cannot be guaranteed. They are valid only for the duration of the visit and are automatically deleted at the end of the session or when the browser is closed.
