Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Xagaho ("we", "us", "our"), operator of the website associated with our Local Volunteering Program, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. This policy is issued in accordance with the Polish Telecommunications Law of 16 July 2004 (Ustawa Prawo telekomunikacyjne), Article 173, as well as the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR"), which applies directly in Poland. Where this document refers to personal data processing connected with cookies, it should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and, where applicable, remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or choices.

2. The Cookie We Use

Xagaho maintains a minimal approach to cookies. The only cookie set by this website is described below. We do not use analytics cookies, statistical cookies, session-tracking cookies, or any cookies associated with third-party analytics tools. No cookies such as _ga, _gid, or any equivalent analytics or social-media tracking cookies are set on this site.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
consent_state Stores the choice you made in our cookie consent banner (i.e., whether you accepted or declined optional cookies and advertising measurement), so that we do not ask you again on every visit. 1 year Essential (strictly necessary for consent management)

3. Essential vs. Optional Cookies

Under Polish and EU law, a distinction is made between cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of a website ("essential cookies") and cookies that are not necessary but serve additional purposes such as advertising or analytics ("optional cookies").

4. Advertising Measurement

We do not run advertising or marketing cookies across the general browsing experience of this website. Advertising measurement technology is activated only after you have given your consent via the consent banner, and it operates exclusively on the confirmation page that you may reach after completing certain actions on our site (such as submitting a volunteering registration). This measurement helps us understand whether a visit resulted in a completed action, for the limited purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of our outreach. If you do not consent, this measurement does not run at all, on any page.

5. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You have the right to withdraw or change your consent at any time. You can do so by:

6. Your Rights Under GDPR

To the extent that any information collected via cookies constitutes personal data, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase such data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, "UODO"), the supervisory authority for data protection matters in Poland.
