Policy for “Cookies”

Kumans Ltd. strictly complies with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and has appointed data protection officers within the company.

All our employees have signed declarations committing to comply with regulatory requirements and internal rules for the protection, security, and confidentiality of personal data.

Art. 1 General Information

To improve your experience and offer you the most relevant information and services during your visit to the WEBSITE, we use technologies called “cookies”. They help us (along with other authorized third parties) to personalize your experience on our site. Furthermore, they allow us to improve our services and ensure that you can easily find the information you are looking for. It is important for us that you understand how we use these technologies. Therefore, this cookie policy describes the types of technologies we use, their functions, and the options you have regarding their use.

Art. 2 What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files used for the temporary storage of information about a user’s actions, preferences, or other activities when visiting a website. They are saved on the user’s computer or mobile device for a specific period, depending on their type.

Cookies make using the website more convenient by freeing users from the need to enter their preferences on every visit or when navigating from page to page. They allow the website to function smoothly, monitor for irregularities, and identify opportunities to optimize how it provides information and communicates with users.

There are two types of cookies – persistent and temporary (session) cookies.

Persistent cookies are stored as a file on your computer or mobile device for a long period.

Temporary cookies are placed temporarily on your computer when you visit the site and disappear when the page is closed, meaning they are not permanently stored on your device.

Art. 3 We and our Service Providers may Use the Following Types of Cookies:

Art. 3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of our website. We use them, for example:

• to establish the authenticity and identity of users when using the site, so that we can provide our services;

• to comply with the Terms and Conditions and ensure the security of our services.

Art. 3.2 Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are not strictly necessary, but they allow us to personalize your online experience on the site. We use them, for example:

• to remember your preferences, so you don’t have to re-enter information already provided each time (e.g., when entering data to access services or using an inquiry form);

• to collect information on how users use our services to improve the site and services and conduct market research (e.g., information on popular pages, browsing habits, number of clicks, shares, likes, recently visited pages, etc.).

Art. 3.3 Advertising Cookies

We use these cookies, for example:

• to obtain information on how you use the site, such as which pages you visit or how you react to advertisements, in order to provide you with personalized advertising;

• to determine the most popular parts of the site;

• to monitor the use of services and the site (frequency and time of use);

• to evaluate product success;

• to determine how often you and other users visit the site;

• to conduct surveys to improve your interaction with the site and us.

Often, these cookies are designed to display advertisements personalized for you – both on and off the site. This type of advertising is called “interest-based advertising”. Many of these cookies belong to our service providers.

Art. 3.4 Session Cookies

We may also use session cookies, for example:

• to allow you to navigate between different pages of the site without having to log in again (so-called “single sign-on”);

• to recognize you when you return to the site to use our services.

Art. 3.5 Third-Party Cookies

We also use some third-party cookies as part of our services. These cookies are managed by the respective sites and are not under our control. Below are some of these cookies that we use; some of them can be disabled through your browser’s general settings, while for others, you need to visit the respective sites and follow their instructions.

Art. 4 Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Information collected through cookies regarding the use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Our website uses Google Analytics with the “anonymized IP” extension. This means that in member states of the European Union or other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address, collected via Google Analytics cookies, is truncated by Google before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the company, Google uses this information to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on site activity, and provide the site operator with additional services related to website and internet usage. The IP address sent by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by configuring your browser accordingly; please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features we offer on our website. You can prevent the collection and processing of data obtained through cookies and related to website usage (including your IP address) by downloading and installing a browser plugin from the following link:

The legal basis for processing personal data when using cookies is Art. 6, para. 1, point 1, letter “f” of the GDPR.

Use of Google Inc.’s remarketing or “Similar Audiences” service.

On our website, we use Google’s remarketing or “Similar Audiences” feature. Through this feature, we can show you targeted advertising tailored to your interests when you visit other websites on Google’s display and/or search network. Google uses so-called cookies to analyze site usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based ads. For this purpose, Google records a small file with a numerical sequence in visitors’ browsers. This number registers site visits and anonymized usage data. This does not constitute the storage of visitors’ personal data. If you then visit another site on the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertising messages that are most likely related to the products and pages you have visited.

Additional information on Google Remarketing, as well as Google’s data protection declaration, can be found at:

You can permanently deactivate the use of Google cookies via the following link, where you can download and install the corresponding plugin:

Art. 5 Social Networks and Social Plugins

Through our social media pages, we offer you comprehensive personal support. If you send us an inquiry via any of these social networks, we forward it to the relevant department. The data is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not provided to third parties. The legal basis for processing personal data in connection with handling your inquiry is Art. 6, para. 1, letter “f” of the GDPR. To contact us via social networks, you must be registered with them. For this purpose, the companies that manage them process personal data according to their needs. We have no influence over the type, scope, and method of processing this data.

Our website uses social plugins from the Facebook social network. The data controller for users from the EU is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, and the operator is Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). Information about Facebook plugins and their type can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

When you visit a page on our site that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook’s servers. The plugins transmit their content directly from Facebook to your browser and integrate it into the web page. In this way, Facebook receives information that your browser has loaded the corresponding page from our site, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged into your profile. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can link your visit to our site with your Facebook profile. When you interact with the plugins, for example, by posting a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. In addition, the information is published on your profile and displayed to your Facebook friends. Please note that as the website provider, we do not receive information about the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Detailed information on the purpose and scope of data collection, processing, and use by Facebook, as well as your rights and privacy protection settings, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to link the data collected through our site directly to your profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our site.

Insofar as the above data are personal data, the legal basis for their processing is Art. 6, para. 1, letter “a” and letter “f” of the GDPR.
