1. Definition and purpose of cookies

We use so-called cookies on some of our websites.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) that save information about your use of our websites. They may, for example, enable us to remember your settings and choices, measure website traffic and user behaviour, and improve functionality and the user experience.

2. Types of cookies

By origin:

  • First-party cookies – these are stored directly by our website or, in the case of our website www.chiochips.sk, by the Matomo tool running on our domain.
  • Third-party cookies – we do not use these unless stated otherwise.

By duration:

  • Session cookies – temporary cookies that disappear when the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies – these remain for a certain period of time or until you delete them.

By purpose:

  • Necessary (functional) cookies – essential for the technical operation of our websites.
  • Analytical (performance/statistical) cookies – used to measure website traffic and analyse user behaviour.

Cookies used on our website www.chiochips.sk:

For analytical purposes, we use the Matomo tool, which helps us collect anonymised data about website traffic and visitor behaviour.

Analytical cookies:

  • _pk_id.* – validity: 13 months – recognises a visitor on repeated visits (contains an anonymous ID).
  • _pk_ses.* – validity: 30 minutes – maintains the session for analytical measurement purposes.
  • _pk_ref.* – validity: 6 months – stores information about the source of the visit (for example, which page you came from).
  • _pk_cvar.* – validity: 30 minutes – stores custom visitor variables for analytics.
  • _pk_testcookie – validity: until the browser is closed – verifies whether the browser supports cookies.
  • MATOMO_SESSID – validity: 14 days – internal identification of the Matomo session.
  • pk_hsr – validity: 30 minutes – relates to the Heatmap function in Matomo and is used to temporarily store visitor session data for analytical purposes. Heatmap anonymously shows us which areas of the website visitors click on most often or where they scroll. This allows us to improve the clarity and usability of the website.
  • pk_uid – validity: 13 months – enables anonymous recognition of repeated visits by the same visitor across sessions and devices so that we can evaluate website traffic and use and improve the content of our websites.
  • MatomoAbTesting – validity: until the visitor deletes the data themselves, the browser deletes it automatically, or it is deleted by the websites / Matomo script. It helps compare different versions of pages (for example, different buttons or page layouts) so that we can determine which version is clearer and works better for visitors.

Functional cookies:

  • geo_redirected – validity: 1 hour – language setting based on location, which is not stored.
  • PHPSESSID – validity: until the browser is closed – internal identification of the web session.
  • mtm_consent_removed – validity: 12 months – records that the visitor has refused analytical tracking. This means we do not need to ask for this choice again on every visit.
  • mtm_cookie_consent – validity: 12 months – stores information about consent granted for analytical cookies so that it does not need to be requested again on every visit.

The asterisk (*) means that the cookie name is supplemented by a unique identifier.

We use only necessary (functional) cookies. We use the Etracker tool in cookie-free mode, i.e. we do not use marketing or analytical cookies.
