This Cookie Policy explains how PePe spol. s r.o. ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website pepe-trade.live (the "Site"). This policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we may set, your choices regarding cookies, and additional information applicable to users from Slovakia (SK) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is used. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, while session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.

We also use other similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which may function similarly to cookies. For the purposes of this policy, all such technologies are collectively referred to as "cookies".

We will not set non-essential cookies until we have obtained your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent.
