1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) work the same way for the purposes of this policy. Together we refer to them as "cookies".
2. How we use cookies
We use a small, deliberate set of cookies. We do not use advertising or ad-targeting cookies and we do not build advertising profiles about visitors.
Where cookies are not strictly necessary, we ask for your consent before setting them, in line with the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Lithuania). You can withdraw your consent at any time via your browser settings or our cookie banner.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
