1. Introduction
Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience and to keep the site running properly. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, and how you can manage them. Privacy matters are described in a separate Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They help the website remember your preferences (such as language), maintain your session, analyse usage, and — if you consent — personalise content.
Cookies can be classified by origin (first-party or third-party) and by lifespan (session or persistent).
3. Cookies we use
We group cookies into three categories. The same categories are exposed in the cookie notice at the bottom of the website.
Necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function correctly — they store your language preference, your cookie-consent status, and provide basic security features. They are always set and cannot be switched off.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and basic technical data about the device. We only collect aggregated, anonymised information to improve the site’s content and performance.
These cookies are only set after you have given your consent in the cookie notice.
Marketing cookies
These cookies are used to measure the performance of the project’s communication campaigns and, where applicable, to show you more relevant content on other websites. They are only set if you actively enable them in the cookie settings. The project does not actively use them at this time, but the option remains visible in the notice for full transparency in case it is enabled in the future.
4. Third-party services
Some cookies may be set by third-party services (for example analytics or embedded video) when you have enabled the relevant category. In such cases, the third-party provider’s own privacy policy will also apply to the processing of your data.
The website does not currently use advertising-tracking services. If such a service is added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
5. Managing cookies
You can manage your consent at any time:
- Use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of the website to enable or disable individual cookie categories.
- In your browser, you can block or delete cookies that are already stored. Most browsers allow this in the settings menu.
Note that disabling necessary cookies may break parts of the website.
6. Consent
On your first visit we will ask for your consent for non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category. Your choice is stored and you can change it at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
7. Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our website or in the law. Updated versions will be published on this page with the effective date.
8. Complaints and contact
If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please contact us. If you do not receive a satisfactory response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data State Inspectorate of Latvia (www.dvi.gov.lv).
