This data is processed to ensure the security and stability of our website and to optimize our services. It is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technical stability and security of the website). Your IP address is anonymized or deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for these purposes.

2.4 Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files stored on your device. We use the following types of cookies:

A. Essential Cookies (Session & Technical)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website and the Elementor page builder framework. They do not track you across the internet and are not used for marketing.

  • elementor, elementor-global-variables, e_site-editor, e_document/global, e_globals, e_kit-elements-defaults: Used by the Elementor page builder to store your editing preferences, global variables, and session state while you view the site.
  • wpEmojiSettingsSupports, wp-settings-time-1: WordPress core settings to ensure the site renders correctly on your device.
  • settings-store: Stores temporary settings for the site editor.
  • elementor_sidebar_menu_expanded_v2_elementor-templates, elementor_sidebar_menu_expanded_v2_elementor-custom-elements: Store UI preferences for the Elementor interface.

B. Consent Management Cookies

We use a consent management platform (CMP) to obtain your consent for non-essential cookies.

  • cmplz_functional, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_marketing, cmplz_consented_services: These cookies store your consent status regarding functional, preference, and marketing cookies. They ensure that we only load scripts you have agreed to.

C. Non-Essential Cookies

Currently, we do not use third-party analytics (like Google Analytics), advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels. Therefore, no marketing or analytics cookies are set.

Legal Basis:

  • For essential cookies: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (necessary to provide the service you requested).
  • For non-essential cookies (if added in the future): Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

You can control or delete cookies via your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Hosting

Our website is hosted by a third-party provider. The hoster processes data on our behalf. We have signed a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with our hoster to ensure GDPR compliance.

  • Hoster: Hostinger
  • Address: Vilnius, Lithuania

3.2 Elementor

Our website is built using the Elementor page builder. Elementor may process data to render the page correctly. As Elementor is self-hosted (or uses standard CDN services), no data is sent to external servers for tracking purposes.

4. Data Retention

Since we do not collect any personal data from visitors:

  • Server logs are retained only as long as necessary for security and technical purposes (typically 7-30 days depending on your hoster’s configuration).
  • Cookies remain on your device until you delete them or they expire according to their individual settings.
