IV. Cookies and Similar Technology

1. The Service uses cookies.

2. Cookies (so-called "cookies") are computer data, in particular text files, which are stored on the end device of the Service User and are intended for use on the Service's websites. Cookies usually contain the name of the website they come from, the time they are stored on the end device, and a unique number.

3. The entity placing cookies on the end device of the Service User and obtaining access to them is the Administrator. Cookies are used, among others, for the following purposes: a) creating statistics that help understand how Service Users use the websites; b) maintaining the user's session on the service (after logging in), so that the User does not have to re-enter their login and password on each subpage of the service; c) determining the user's profile to display them tailored materials in advertising networks, especially in the Google network.

4. Two basic types of cookies are used within the Service: "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies. "Session" cookies are temporary files that are stored on the User's end device until logging out, leaving the website, or turning off the software (web browser). "Persistent" cookies are stored on the User's end device for the time specified in the cookie parameters or until they are deleted by the User.

5. Web browsing software (web browser) usually allows cookies to be stored on the User's end device by default. Service Users can change their settings in this regard. The web browser allows you to delete cookies. It is also possible to automatically block cookies. Detailed information on this subject is provided in the help or documentation of the web browser. Limiting the use of cookies may affect some functionalities available on the Service's websites.

6. To collect statistics, the Administrator uses the Google Analytics product, thus the User's data visiting the Service will be received by Google, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 United States. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield program. Under the agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has declared an adequate level of data protection for companies holding the Privacy Shield certificate. It is possible to block Google Analytics access to User data by installing a browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. For details regarding data processing under Google Analytics, we encourage you to read the explanations prepared by Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

7. The Administrator also uses marketing tools available within the Facebook service and provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave. Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Within these tools, advertisements on the Facebook service are targeted. Actions in this regard are carried out based on a legitimate interest in the form of marketing one's own products or services. In order to target personalized advertisements based on the behaviors of Users visiting the website https://ippon.group/, the Facebook Pixel has been implemented, which automatically collects information about the use of the Service. Information collected in this way is most often transmitted to Facebook servers in the United States and stored there. Information collected within the Facebook Pixel is anonymous, i.e., it does not allow the User to be identified. The Administrator is only informed about the actions the User has taken on their website. However, Facebook may associate this information with other information about the User collected while using the Facebook service and use it for its own purposes, including marketing. Such actions by Facebook are no longer dependent on the Administrator, and information about them is described in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. From their Facebook account, users can also manage their privacy settings. Facebook Inc. is headquartered in the USA and utilizes technical infrastructure located in the USA. To ensure an appropriate level of personal data protection required by European regulations, Facebook has joined the EU-US Privacy Shield program. Under the agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has recognized an adequate level of data protection for companies holding the Privacy Shield certificate.

8. To provide users with additional information, the website https://ippon.group/ contains links to websites administered by entities independent of the Administrator, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or YouTube. Separate clauses or privacy policies may apply to them. The Administrator encourages users to familiarize themselves with their content.

9. With regard to any websites linked to the Service that are not owned by the Administrator or subject to their control, the Administrator bears no responsibility for their content or for the confidentiality principles applicable to users. When displaying a website containing such a link, the user's browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the social media service providers (service providers). The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the respective service provider to the user's browser and integrated into the website. Through this integration, service providers receive information that the user's browser has displayed the Administrator's website, even if the user does not have a profile with the respective service provider or is not currently logged into it. This information (along with the IP address) is transmitted directly from the user's browser to the server of the respective service provider (some servers are located in the USA) and stored there. If a user is logged into one of the social media services, that service provider will be able to directly associate the visit to the Administrator's website with the user's profile on that social media service. If a user uses a particular plugin, such as clicking the "Like" or "Share" button, the relevant information will also be transmitted directly to the server of the respective service provider and stored there. Additionally, this information will be published on the respective social media service and will be visible to contacts added by the user. The purpose and scope of data collection, as well as their further processing and use by service providers, as well as the user's contact options and rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings to ensure privacy protection, have been described in the privacy policies of the respective service providers.

10. If a user does not want social media services to directly associate data collected during visits to the Administrator's website with the user's profile on that service, they should log out of that service before visiting the website. Users can also completely prevent plugins from loading on the website by using appropriate extensions for their browser, such as script blocking.

The logs include, among other things, the user's IP address, server date and time, information about the internet browser, and operating system used. Server logs are recorded and stored on the server.

2. Data stored in server logs are not associated with specific individuals using the website and are not used by the Administrator to identify the user.
