About the Duration and Storage of Cookies

Cookies under Czech legislation may be session or persistent cookies. Session cookies are stored on your device only for the duration of your visit to the website and normally will be removed from your device after you close your browser. Session cookies are commonly used for the purposes of website functionality while persistent cookies are stored on your device for a fixed period of time (or until you delete them). Persistent cookies are commonly used to store your preferences from one session to another and to make it easier for you to return to the relevant website in the future. An example of an essential cookie is one that lasts for your session only and is necessary for the run time environment in which a web application operates. An example of a functional cookie is one that remembers your display preferences, which may last for several months. This all depends on the need of that particular cookie, as well as settings configured by the operator.
