1. What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files saved in your browser when you visit a website. The browser’s local storage may also be used for a similar purpose. These technologies ensure that the website functions properly and securely and that your preferences are remembered.
2. Cookies Used on the Website
This website uses only first-party cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function and a record of your preferences:
- YSSESSID (session cookie): Ensures the secure submission of forms (protection against forged requests) and prevents the same visit from being counted again in statistics. It is deleted when you close your browser.
- Cookie preference record (the browser’s local storage): Remembers your selection made in the cookie information banner and prevents the banner from being displayed again on every page. It is retained until you delete your browser data.
The website does not use advertising, marketing, social media tracking, or third-party analytics cookies. Visit statistics are stored on the website’s own server without the use of cookies.

Since the website does not use cookies requiring explicit consent, the “Necessary Only” and “Accept” options produce the same result.
