Dear visitors,

The company BOLA spol s.r.o., Company ID: 18630219, with its registered office at Prague 10, Charkovská 399/16, ZIP 10100, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section C, File 2611 (hereinafter the “Operator”), as the operator of the website available at https://www.bolasystems.com/ (hereinafter the “Website”), hereby informs you about why and how cookies are used in connection with the operation of the Website.

1. What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies are small, simple text files (usually a few kB in size) that your web browser stores on your end device (typically a computer or phone) when you visit a website.

Cookies can typically contain information about your end device and other details about how you use the website (e.g. data you enter into forms, the version of the operating system or browser you use, or your language settings). Thanks to this information, it is possible to ensure the correct functionality and security of the website, and possibly improve and speed up your experience. Cookies also allow websites to be tailored to the preferences and needs of a particular visitor.

Cookies are commonly used by websites and mobile applications and are not harmful to your device or user system.

2. What types of cookies exist?

There are many different cookies, usually distinguished according to the criteria listed below.

2.1. Purpose of cookies

Cookies may serve various purposes. This distinction is important because a visitor of the Website can choose which cookies may be used based on their purpose. Typically, these include:

Technical cookies Also known as necessary cookies. Without these, the website simply cannot function properly, and its basic features could not be used. Technical cookies are the only ones that may be used even without the visitor’s explicit consent.
Preference cookies Preference cookies enable the website to remember the visitor’s preferences (e.g. language settings, etc.) and recognize that the visitor is returning to the website, thereby customizing and making the use of the website more convenient.
Analytical cookies These cookies allow tracking statistical data about visits to the website and its usage (typically how many unique visitors accessed it, clicked a certain link, used a particular feature, whether the visitor received an error message, how long the visitor stayed, etc.) and help improve the website based on this information.
Marketing cookies This type of cookie helps target advertising displayed to website visitors so that the ads shown are relevant based on previous visitor activity and their interests, and do not bother visitors with irrelevant ads. Marketing cookies also help determine the effectiveness of advertising on the website.

Preference, analytical, and marketing cookies may only be used with your consent. You can set or refuse the use of these types of cookies on our Website as described in Section 4 of this document.

3. Cookie retention period

Based on how long cookies are stored (so-called cookie lifespan), they are usually distinguished as:

Session cookies These cookies are stored on the visitor’s device until they leave the website, after which they are deleted. Such cookies serve to remember information while the visitor moves between pages so that information already entered does not have to be repeatedly re-entered. This is typical when filling out forms on websites, etc.
Persistent cookies Persistent cookies remain stored on the visitor’s device even after leaving the website and remember them as a returning visitor. The length of storage depends on the specific cookie (see the table of cookies used on the Website below).

4. Origin of cookies

Cookies can also be distinguished based on who places them on the visitor’s device and processes them further.

First-party cookies These are cookies stored on your device by the website you are currently visiting (in this case, our Website).
Third-party cookies These are cookies stored on your device by someone other than the website you are viewing. Third-party cookies are processed by the third parties that place them on your device.
