This Cookie Policy describes various types of cookie files used on the www.idea3w.org website owned and operated by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (“BGK” or the “Bank”). We also provide explanations as to what the files are used for.
What are cookies and what are they used for?
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet) by the web browser you are currently using. Cookies are very common and are used by virtually all websites, as they are extremely useful. They are used to facilitate the operation of websites and to make them more attractive for the user. They may also be used for analytical and marketing purposes.
On www.idea3w.org we use three groups of cookies:
- Technical – they are necessary for the proper functioning of the bank’s various online services.
- Statistical/analytical – these allow us to improve our website by analysing user behaviour (e.g. by using Google Analytics). The data obtained is collected anonymously and does not identify your personal data. The information we acquire relates to how you use the website. With this information we can improve the functionality of our websites and measure the effectiveness of our activities.
- Marketing – these files are used for matching the content and form of advertisements displayed on advertising networks of our partners (e.g. Google, Facebook). We use them to run our marketing and remarketing campaigns. These cookies may store information about the fact that you visited and used our website. The information collected in this way is provided to our partners, as a result of which you can view advertisements that are better adjusted to your preferences.

Technical cookies are an exception, because they are necessary for the proper operation of the website.
