Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to website operators about how their site is used.

Cookies can be "session cookies," which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties ("third-party cookies").

Similar technologies such as local storage and session storage may also be used on this website for essential functional purposes, including storing your cookie consent preference.

How we use cookies

We use cookies for two distinct purposes. Essential cookies enable the basic technical functioning of the website. Non-essential cookies, used only with your consent, help us understand how the website is used so we can improve it.

We do not use cookies for advertising targeting, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking. We do not sell data derived from cookies to third parties.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences.

The essential cookie we set is diw_consent, which stores your cookie consent preferences. This cookie is set when you interact with our consent modal. It does not contain personal data beyond your preference choices and expires after 12 months, after which you will be asked to confirm your preferences again.

Because essential cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the consent mechanism, they may be set without your prior consent, in accordance with Recital 25 of the ePrivacy Directive and the applicable Czech Electronic Communications Act provisions.

Analytics cookies

With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use this website. This helps us understand which pages are most useful, how visitors navigate the site, and where we can make improvements.

Analytics data is collected in aggregated, anonymized form and is not used to identify individual visitors. If you decline analytics cookies through our consent modal, no analytics cookies will be set and no analytical data about your visit will be collected.

You may change your analytics cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the website, at which point the consent modal will reappear.

Consent and legal basis

Our use of essential cookies is based on our legitimate interest in the technical operation of the website, and specifically in maintaining your cookie preference choices, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Our use of analytics cookies is based on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and the requirements of the Czech Electronic Communications Act. Consent is collected through the cookie consent modal displayed on your first visit.

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To withdraw consent, you may clear this website's cookies from your browser settings.

Managing cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. The cookie consent modal on this website allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Instructions for common browsers are available from their respective help resources. Note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including this one.

The specific browser settings path varies: in Chrome, go to Settings and then Privacy and Security; in Firefox, go to Preferences and then Privacy and Security; in Safari, go to Preferences and then Privacy.

Third-party cookies

This website may include embedded content or features that set third-party cookies. The contact page includes an embedded Google Maps map, which is provided by Google LLC. The use of this map may result in Google setting cookies on your device in accordance with Google's own privacy and cookie policies, available at policies.google.com.

We have limited control over third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services whose content appears on this website. Where possible, we use privacy-preserving embedding options.

Cookie duration

The diw_consent cookie, which stores your preference, expires after 12 months. After this period, the consent modal will reappear and you will be asked to confirm or update your preferences.

Session cookies, if any are used for technical purposes, expire when you close your browser. Analytics cookies, if consented to, may persist for periods specified by the analytics provider used, typically between 13 and 26 months.

Your rights

In connection with cookie-related personal data processing, you have the same rights as described in our Privacy Policy, including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů).

For questions about cookies specifically, you may contact us directly at [email protected].

Policy updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use or when legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through the cookie consent mechanism on the website where possible.
