Cookies
This website uses cookies, through which it stores information on your computer via the internet browser. Some cookies ensure the proper functioning of this site and without their use it would not be possible to display the site properly. Other cookies help us to improve the site by allowing us to see how the site is used. We use cookies based on your consent, which you express by setting your internet browser so that the storage of these cookies is allowed. If you wish to revoke your consent to the use of these cookies, please set your internet browser appropriately. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
We also use cookies for statistical and analytical purposes – measuring traffic, tracking movement on the site, time spent on the site, etc. For this purpose, we use Google Analytics.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Contact form
The data from the contact form (name, e-mail address, program) are not stored in any database. We only use this information to answer your questions. We do not use the data for marketing purposes (e.g. we do not send unsolicited newsletters or marketing announcements, etc.) and we do not provide the data for these purposes to third parties.
Third-party services
Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on our website to verify that a visitor is a human and not an automated bot. This service helps protect our forms from spam and abuse.
Cloudflare Turnstile does not use tracking cookies and processes only essential technical data (such as IP address, browser type) for security verification purposes.

Analytics
We use the Google Analytics service which tracks website visitor traffic and stores data anonymously. This data does not allow tracking of the online behaviour of an individual person.
Facebook Pixel
Our website uses Facebook Pixel, a tool that helps us better understand visitor behavior and improve our services. By default, the Pixel records information about how our website is used – for example, which pages are visited, which actions are taken (such as clicks, purchases, or form submissions), as well as technical data about the device and browser, IP address, and approximate geographic location. This information may be linked to your Facebook account and may be used by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. to personalize content and advertisements.
If the Advanced Matching feature is enabled, Facebook Pixel may also process certain data that you voluntarily provide through forms on our website (such as your email address or phone number). This data is used solely to more accurately link your activity with your Facebook profile and to improve ad targeting.
The processing of this information is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through your cookie settings or by contacting the website administrator. For more details on how data is handled, please refer to the Meta Privacy Policy.
Who we share your data with
The data collected from visitors to our site is processed and shared with Google Analytics, a service run by Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and Meta Platforms 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland Ireland Ltd. (Facebook Pixel).
Our plugins send requests to third party APIs via website-visitor’s web browser to fetch information. This request made by a web browser may include an IP address, which can then be seen by the third-party that it’s being requested from. This API request doesn’t include any personal data of the website user other than the IP address.
How long we retain your data
We store the data sent via the contact form for the period necessary to process your message and any subsequent communication, but no longer than 1 year from the last communication, unless longer retention is necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g. handling complaints).
