Our policy regarding cookie-files
We may collect information about your computer or mobile device through cookie-files. If you use our website, you agree to use cookie-files as described in this paragraph. Cookie-files are small text files, placed on your computer when you visit websites. These files give us statistic data that does not reveal your identity, but gives us information about your actions on the website, which we use to improve our services and to obtain marketing analytics. They are widely used to make websites work essentially or to make them work more effectively. Also, they provide certain information to the website owners.

track anonymous statistical information: non-personal data may be collected on our behalf with the help of cookie-files, log file data and a code, embedded in our sites by special third party partners, to help these selected third parties deliver relevant advertisements to you.
We use this non-personal information in order to improve quality of services and information provided to you.
