Cookies Policy

Cookies are small pieces of data the website sends to the browser to store on the user's computer. The browser then sends this data back to the server after further visits to the same website. Cookies are commonly used to distinguish individual users, store user preferences, etc. For example, services requiring a login would not work without them.

Cookies are also often used for statistical purposes, e.g. to record repeated accesses of users and the pages they visit, or in cooperation with advertising partners to target advertising relevant to a given user according to the number of pages visited, or to evaluate the success of campaigns.

European and Czech legislation oblige us to inform visitors to our website how we use cookies and allow them to choose to what extent we can use them.

Cookies used on this website can be divided into two categories:

  1. Necessary
    These are cookies of a technical nature, necessary for the meaningful operation of the website. For example, even the cookie settings option itself needs a cookie so that the browser remembers this setting and does not have to ask repeatedly. These cookies are not used to collect personal data, and users cannot disable them. 
  2. Analytical
    These cookies are used for statistical purposes, such as measuring website traffic. The Open Portal uses Google Analytics – the world's most widely used system for measuring website traffic. Learn more about Google Analytics Privacy.

In Cookies Settings on the home page, you can accept both categories or select only the necessary ones. You can change your previously given consent here at any time.
