Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Warsaw Innovation University) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
We use the following types of cookies:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
| _wiu_session | Maintains user session state | Session | Essential |
| _wiu_preferences | Stores user preferences | 1 year | Functionality |
| _ga | Google Analytics - Distinguishes users | 2 years | Analytics |
| _gid | Google Analytics - Distinguishes users | 24 hours | Analytics |
| _gat | Google Analytics - Throttles request rate | 1 minute | Analytics |
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.
Most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. This feature is not yet uniform across browsers, so we do not currently respond to such signals.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
