This Cookie Policy explains the technical details of how cookies and similar tracking technologies function on the Ruhove website (ruhove.info). It is written to comply with the requirements of the Polish Telecommunications Law (Prawo telekomunikacyjne, Ustawa z dnia 16 lipca 2004 r.) as amended, the Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means (Ustawa z dnia 18 lipca 2002 r. o świadczeniu usług drogą elektroniczną), and GDPR Article 5(1)(a) and Recital 32 regarding consent to cookies.
What Is a Cookie, Technically?
A cookie is a small text file, typically between a few bytes and 4 kilobytes in size, that a web server instructs your browser to store on your device. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognize your device or remember your preferences. Cookies do not execute code and cannot access other files on your device.
Related technologies include local storage, which operates similarly to cookies but with larger capacity and different persistence rules, and session storage, which is cleared when the browser tab is closed. This policy covers all such technologies where applicable.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit this site, a cookie consent notice appears at the bottom of the screen. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your choice is stored in the ruhove_consent cookie and respected on subsequent visits.
You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer, which reopens the consent panel. You may also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair website functionality.
Browser-Level Cookie Controls
All modern browsers provide tools for managing cookies. You can typically find these in your browser's privacy or security settings. Deleting cookies through the browser will clear your stored consent preference, and the consent notice will reappear on your next visit.
Browser-specific guidance: Chrome (Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies), Firefox (Settings > Privacy & Security), Safari (Preferences > Privacy), Edge (Settings > Cookies and site permissions).
