This Cookies Policy applies to the use of cookies on the websites (hereinafter referred to as the “websites”) operated by ADAMANTA Sp. z o.o., with its registered office in lublin at ul. jodłowa 25, 20-825 lublin, KRS: 0001078676, NIP: 7123467638, regon: 527332151, hereinafter referred to as “ADAMANTA” or the “Company.”
Below we provide information regarding the use of cookies.
What are “cookies”? | Do cookies contain personal data? | What do we use cookies for? |
Cookies should be understood as IT data, in particular text files, stored on users’ end devices (such as a computer, phone, or tablet) and transmitted by websites. These files allow the user’s device to be recognized and the website to be displayed appropriately, tailored to the user’s individual preferences. They make it possible to display the website in the user’s chosen language (as remembered by the cookies) and to apply other website settings selected by the user. Cookies usually contain the name of the website they come from, the duration of their storage on the end device, and a unique identifier. | As a rule, cookies do not constitute personal data. However, certain information stored in cookies (e.g. user preferences), especially when combined with other information about the website user, may be considered personal data. Personal data collected through the use of cookies may be processed solely to perform specific functions for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized access. | Cookies are used to tailor the content of websites to the user’s preferences and device, and to optimize the use of websites. These files allow the user’s choices regarding language, browser, selected website settings, or opting out of personalized ads to be saved, as well as storing information about the user’s location. Cookies are also used to facilitate logging into the user’s account, including through social media platforms, and to enable smooth navigation between subpages of a website without requiring repeated logins. At the same time, cookies are used to help secure websites, for example by preventing unauthorized access. They are also used to create anonymous statistics that help understand how users interact with the websites, which allows the structure and content to be improved—without personally identifying the user. Cookies also help ensure that websites operate smoothly and efficiently, including testing website performance. Cookies are additionally used to identify which ads have been shown to the user and to display ads that are most relevant to the user’s activity on the websites. |

- The Company’s authorization to store and access cookies is based on the user’s consent, which is granted during the configuration of the web browser or the selected website or service. The user may return to these settings at any time to specify the terms under which the Company may store or access such information.
- By default, web browsers allow cookies to be stored on the user’s end device. These settings can be modified to block the automatic handling of cookies in the browser settings or to notify the user whenever cookies are sent to their device. Each browser used by the user provides detailed instructions on how to change these settings.

- Restricting the use of cookies may impact certain functionalities available on the website.
Cookies may be categorized based on several criteria: their necessity for the provision of services, the duration for which they are stored on the end device, the origin of the website administrator managing the cookies, and the level of interference with the user’s privacy.
A detailed table describing the types of cookies used is provided below.
TYPES OF COOKIES USED | ||
What Types of Cookies Do We Use? | ||
As a rule, we use two types of cookies – “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until they log out of the website or close the browser. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for the duration specified in the cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user. Cookies used by partners of the website operator, including in particular users of the website, are subject to their own privacy policies. | ||
Based on the Necessity for Service Provision | ||
Essential – These are necessary for the proper functioning of the website or the features the user wishes to use. | Functional – These are important for the operation of the website:
| Business – These enable the implementation of the business model on which the website is made available. Blocking them will not make the entire functionality unavailable, but it may reduce the quality of service due to the website owner’s inability to generate revenue that supports its operation. This category includes, for example, advertising cookies. |
Based on the Duration Cookies Are Stored on the User’s End Device | ||
Session Cookies – Cookies placed for the duration of the browser session; they are deleted after the browser is closed or the user logs out of the website. | Persistent Cookies – These are not deleted after closing the browser and remain on the user’s device for a specified period or indefinitely, depending on the settings defined by the website owner. | |
Based on Origin – the Website Administrator Managing the Cookies | ||
First-Party Cookies – Cookies placed on the websites directly by the Company. | Third-Party Cookies – Cookies placed on the websites by entities other than ADAMANTA. | |
Based on Their Purpose | ||
Website Configuration – Enable the setting of functions and services on the websites. | Website Security and Reliability – Allow verification of authenticity and optimization of website performance. | Authentication – Allow the website to recognize when a user is logged in, enabling the display of appropriate information and features. |
Session State – Allow the storage of information about how users interact with the website. This may include data on the most frequently visited pages or error messages displayed on certain pages. Cookies used to record the so-called “session state” help improve services and enhance the user’s browsing experience. | Processes – Enable the efficient operation of the website and its available functions. | Advertising – Enable the display of ads that are more relevant to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers. Cookies may also be used to personalize advertising and to display ads outside of the websites. |
Location – Allow the displayed information to be tailored to the user’s geographic location. | Analytics, Research, and Audience Measurement – Enable the website owner to better understand user preferences and, through analysis, improve and develop products and services. Typically, the website owner or a research company collects information anonymously and processes data on trends without identifying the personal data of individual users. | |
Based on the Level of Intrusion into the User’s Privacy | ||

| Tracking – used to monitor users, but do not contain information that would allow (without additional data) the identification of a specific user. | |
