Data processing in connection with cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or other browsing device by the websites you visit. Each cookie is stored on your device for a specific period of time, allowing the website to remember certain data and settings (e.g. language preference, font size, and other display settings). They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. The use of cookies is standard for most websites. If you are uncomfortable with the use of cookies, you can manage them via your browser, including removing cookies by deleting them from your browser history (cache) when you leave the site. Please note that removing or blocking cookies can impact your user experience and some functionality may no longer be available.
Legal grounds for data processing in connection with cookies
Except for cookies strictly necessary for the website to function (which do not collect information qualifying as personal data), the use of cookies requires your fully informed consent, which represents the legal basis for any related data processing. Cookies will only be used if you consent to their use on the appropriate interface. You may change cookie settings and revoke your consent at any time.

Types of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which are a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information.
Performance cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most popular and see how visitors move around the site. Information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers, whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
Advertising cookies: PwC may present ads to you on other sites to promote relevant services, articles or events. The cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They also perform functions such as preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing.

Permanent cookies: These facilitate the use of frequently visited websites (e.g. they ensure optimal navigation, remember the selected resolution, content layout, etc.). This information remains in the browser's memory for a longer period. This time depends on the choice made in the browser settings. This type of cookie allows information to be sent to the server each time a page is visited.
