What are cookies? 

Cookies are small pieces of data our servers send to your computer with the purpose of better utilising our servers and adapting their content to your needs and preferences. 

Cookies can be thought of as the memory of a website, which recognises the user of the same computer on the next visit. Almost every website in the world uses cookies. Cookies are generally useful because they increase the user-friendliness of a repeatedly visited website. As long as you use the same computer and the same Internet browser for visiting our Internet websites, cookies will help your computer remember the visited website and your preferred page settings. 

However, none of the cookies used on our site collect information that would contain your direct identifying information. 

  

Types of cookies 

 We divide cookies into temporary (called session) and permanent cookies according to the time they are stored on your device. Temporary cookies are deleted after your visit. They are used to make our offer more clear, understandable and secure for users. Permanent cookies help to determine the specific needs of the individual user groups and serve to ensure that we can always respond as quickly as possible to the needs of individual users, and they remain stored on your device after you have finished visiting the website for the period of time indicated for each cookie. However, these files are not used to personally identify website users 


Depending on the source and control over cookies, we distinguish between: 

  • First-party cookiesthat are created by the website you visit. The website is listed in the browser address bar and these cookies are controlled and managed by AGROFERT when you visit the website.  
  • Third party cookies are created by other websites. These websites have some content on the website, such as advertisements or images, and these cookies are not under the control of AGROFERT.

Purpose of the data processing 

AGROFERT only processes personal data when using cookies for the purposes permitted by law or for purposes to which the user has consented, in particular for the purposes listed below: 

  • for statistical purposes (but in this context the data is usually aggregated in such a way that it cannot be identified) 
  • To measure traffic to our site
  • To analyse preferences and display content that matches individual user preferences 
  • For marketing purposes 
  • To improve our website content and further its development 
  • To comply with legal obligations (e.g. to prove consent to the processing of personal data, etc.) 

The data is usually processed on our own computer systems or we use third party systems (called processors) 

  

Legal basis of processing 

According to legal regulations, AGROFERT may store certain cookies on the devices of website users if they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, without the consent of these users ("necessary cookies"). For all other types of cookies, active user consent is required. You can set your consent in the footer of the website by selecting the appropriate option. The consent given for each type of cookie can be changed or revoked at any time at the same location. 

  

  

For how long do we process personal data? 

All data is only processed to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of the above purposes and generally only for a period of time necessary for the achievement of the purposes set by us, however no longer than for a period of time set by relevant legislation or in compliance therewith. Personal data processed with consent is processed until the consent is withdrawn, after which the data may be processed if there is another legal reason for doing so (e.g. to prove consent, to defend against legal claims, etc.). 

To determine the length of the processing period, we use in particular (i) the length of the statute of limitations, (ii) the likelihood of legal claims against our Company, (iii) the expected time to detect attacks on our network or other security breaches, (iv) common market practices and recommendations of supervisory authorities, and (v) the likelihood and significance of the risks involved. 

If we need information from you that will directly identify you or enable us to contact you, we will explicitly ask for it. 

  

Source of personal data 

  

The source of the personal data we process about you is mainly your activity on our website. 

We will obtain the personal data we process either directly from you (by providing it to us, for example, by filling in a form on our website or from individual correspondence with you) or by tracking your activity on our website. 

  

To whom can we make your data available? 

AGROFERT can only disclose your personal data to third parties if required or permitted by law or with your consent, in particular: 

- to external service providers (typically programming or other technical support services, server services, services related to measuring traffic to our site and adapting the content to user preferences) 

- to the operators of backup servers or operators of technologies used by AGROFERT, who process the data to ensure the functionality of the website 

- to the extent strictly necessary to AGROFERT's legal, financial and tax advisors and AGROFERT's auditors, who process the data for the purpose of providing AGROFERT with advisory services 

- Personal data may also be transferred to public authorities upon request or in the event of suspected violations.
