Website Cookie Policy
Last revision date – November 27, 2023.
This Cookies Policy (‘Policy’) is a part of Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of Broken Build. All the terms in this Policy are used with the same meaning as in these documents.
This Policy describes the details of processing your data as the Visitor of our Website using cookies and other automated collection means.
The Policy defines:
what are cookies;
which cookies we use on the Website and why, and if they collect your personal data;
how long we store the collected data;
what are your choices as to the use of cookies etc.
What do cookies mean?
We use cookies and other automated data collection means when you visit any page of our Website. Cookies are small blocks of data that are stored on your browser when you use websites or other services. They are usually installed on most of the websites to enable different features, for example, to facilitate navigation on the website, to remember choices or to serve you with the ads which best reflect your interests.
A cookie file usually contains the name of the domain it comes from, its “expiry time” and a randomly selected number identifying this file. In some cases, cookies are used to collect personal data, such as IP addresses and data linked to the IP address (traffic data). The usage of such cookies is regulated by data protection laws. That is why you as a Visitor obtain more rights to control the collection and processing of some data.
What data do we automatically collect via the Website and why?
We use cookies to let you navigate between pages efficiently, for statistical analysis purposes and to improve the user experience. Cookies allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Website when they are using it. With the help of such information, we improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that Visitors are finding what they are looking for easily.
If we are talking about personal data, with the use of cookies we collect IP addresses of our Visitors. An IP address is a number that an internet service provider assigns to the computer of a Visitor to the Website. The IP address allows you to access the Internet. In most cases, it is assigned dynamically to the computer, i.e. it changes every time you connect to the Internet. We use your IP address to:
diagnose technical problems with the server,
create statistical analyses (e.g. determine from which regions we record most visits),
for security purposes and possible identification of unwanted automatic programs for viewing content that burden the server.
We also collect your version of the browser and your location such as country and city, based on IP address according to open data.
Which types of cookies do we use?
Depending on the storage period, we use two types of cookies:
a) Session cookies: after the end of a browser session or turning off the computer, the saved information is deleted from the device storage.
b) Permanent cookies: they are stored in the memory of the Visitor’s end device and remain there until they are deleted or expired.
Depending on who installed cookies, they are divided into two types:
a) Cookies are set by us called first-party cookies.
b) We also use third-party cookies – cookies from a domain different than the domain of our Website.
Depending on their purpose, we may install to your browser the following types of cookies:
a) Strictly necessary cookies
We use this type of cookie for our Website to function properly. For instance, we use cookies to authenticate the Visitor in the Website and ensure the Visitor's session in the Website. These cookies are set only by us.
Name | Provider | Description and purpose |
n/a | n/a | n/a |
b) Marketing (advertising) cookies
We use these cookies to track visitors across the Website, to display ads relevant and engaging for the individual Visitor and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
These cookies are set by us and third-parties like Google.
Name | Provider | Description and purpose |
n/a | n/a | n/a |
c) Analytics cookies
These cookies are used to collect information on how visitors use our Website. We use the information for the analysis and research as well as audience audit. In particular, this allows us to create anonymous statistics that help to understand how Visitors use the Website, which allows improving its structure and content.
These cookies are set by us and by the third-party analytics services like Google Analytics. The data collected in such a way is stored in aggregated form and usually does not constitute personally identifiable information.
Name | Provider | Description and purpose |
n/a | n/a | n/a |
How does the Company deal with data collected through the cookies?
The cookies usage message was the first message you were likely to see when you visited our Website. In most cases, we do not ask you for consent to install them if we install cookies that are strictly required for the functioning of the Website in general and some of its features in particular (e.g. the very option to refuse some cookies).
Data that we collect with the cookies, where it is personal data, are processed in accordance with provisions of our Privacy Policy.
Are cookies safe and can I disable them?
The cookie mechanism is safe for the computers of the Website Visitors. In particular, it is not possible for viruses or other unwanted software or malicious software to enter the Visitor’s computers in this way.
