Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 20 July 2026 | Gopesi | gopesi.info
This Cookie Policy explains how Gopesi uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit gopesi.info. It is written to comply with the requirements of Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive) as implemented in Poland through the Act of 16 July 2004 — Telecommunications Law (Prawo telekomunikacyjne, Dz.U. 2004 nr 171 poz. 1800, as amended), as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information about your preferences or interactions. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects, which may be used alongside cookies for related purposes. This policy refers collectively to all such technologies as "cookies" unless a distinction is specifically noted.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies for the following purposes. Strictly necessary cookies enable the core functionality of the Site, including remembering your cookie consent preferences. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our consent mechanism, as they are essential for the Site to function. Analytical cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and which content is accessed most frequently. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the educational content and user experience of the platform. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent. We do not currently use marketing, targeting, or retargeting cookies on this Site. If this changes, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.

How can you manage your cookie preferences?
When you first visit gopesi.info, a cookie consent notice appears at the bottom of the screen. You may accept all cookie categories, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences by category. Your selection is stored in the gi_consent cookie.
You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the website footer, or by clearing the gi_consent cookie from your browser settings, which will cause the consent notice to reappear on your next visit.
In addition to our on-site consent mechanism, most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through browser settings. Common browser instructions are available from the following locations: Google Chrome — Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies; Mozilla Firefox — Options, Privacy and Security, Cookies; Safari — Preferences, Privacy; Microsoft Edge — Settings, Cookies and Site Permissions. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though on gopesi.info the core educational content is accessible without analytical cookies.
What is the legal basis for cookie use?
Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website, and on the basis of the technical necessity exception recognised under the Polish Telecommunications Law and the ePrivacy Directive — no consent is required for cookies that are strictly essential to a service explicitly requested by the user. Analytical cookies are placed only with your prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, as required by Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 173(3) of the Polish Telecommunications Law. Consent is obtained through our cookie consent mechanism and may be withdrawn at any time.

Where analytical cookies are set by Google Analytics, data is processed by Google LLC acting as a data processor. Google LLC's processing of data from the EEA is subject to Standard Contractual Clauses and Google's commitments as described in their privacy documentation.

This Cookie Policy may be updated when we change the cookies used on the Site or when applicable law or regulatory guidance changes. The updated policy will be published at gopesi.info/cookies.html with a revised date. If we introduce new non-essential cookies, we will seek fresh consent through the consent mechanism before placing them.
