Cookie Policy

1Section 1. Who we are (data controller)

Cookies and similar technologies on the Service are used by LAND GROUP s.r.o., Račianska 66, 831 02 Bratislava – mestská časť Nové Mesto, Slovakia (IČO: 35 821 540), operating the "BitBeon" brand (the "Operator"). For matters concerning the processing of personal data collected through cookies, you may contact us via the in-app chat, the contact / support options in the Service, or by post at the address above. Full details are in the Imprint / Legal Information.

2Section 2. Definitions and scope

This policy explains how the Operator uses cookies and similar technologies. Defined terms derive from our other legal documents (Terms of Use, Privacy Policy), with the Imprint / Legal Information prevailing on Operator identification. It covers the Service whether accessed directly or through Integrated Applications. Where you access the Service through a third-party platform, that platform's operator is responsible for its own cookies under its own policy.

3Section 3. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use a service. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, web beacons/pixels, software development kits (SDKs) in mobile apps, and device or advertising identifiers. Because Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive applies to any storage of, or access to, information on your terminal equipment, all of these are treated as "cookies" in this policy unless a distinction is necessary.

4Section 4. Categories of cookies and the legal basis for each

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies — no consent required

These cookies are essential to provide the Service you have explicitly requested: signing in, keeping your session, load balancing, securing the connection, fraud prevention, remembering your cookie choices, and basic functioning of embedded components. Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive they are exempt from the consent requirement; the related personal data, where any, is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional service or to perform our contract with you (Article 6(1)(b)/(f) GDPR). They cannot be switched off through cookie settings, but you can block them in your browser, which may impair the Service.

4.2 Preferences (functional) cookies — consent required

These remember choices such as language, region, and interface settings to improve convenience. They are not strictly necessary and are set only with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

4.3 Analytics and performance cookies — consent required

These help us understand how the Service is used (pages viewed, time spent, features used, errors) so we can measure and improve performance. They are set only with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Where analytics involve a third-party provider, that provider and any international data transfer are described in our consent tool / Privacy Policy.

4.4 Marketing and targeting cookies — consent required

These deliver and measure marketing, build interest-based profiles from your use of the Service, and may show relevant content across platforms. First- and third-party providers may set them. They are used only with your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), and you can withdraw that consent at any time.

5Section 5. Consent — how we ask, and your control

When you first visit the Service (and again when required), a cookie banner is shown before any non-essential cookies are placed. Our consent mechanism follows EU requirements:

• Prior: non-essential cookies are blocked until you choose. We do not set them on page load.
• Freely given: we do not use "cookie walls" — you can use the Service even if you reject non-essential cookies.
• Specific and granular: you can accept or reject by category (preferences, analytics, marketing) rather than all-or-nothing.
• Informed: the banner links to this policy and identifies the purposes and, where relevant, third parties.
• Unambiguous: consent requires a clear affirmative action. No boxes are pre-ticked, and continuing to browse or scrolling is not treated as consent.
• Reject as easy as accept: the banner offers an equally prominent "Reject all" alongside "Accept all".
• Withdrawable: you can change or withdraw consent at any time via "Cookie settings" (in the footer and/or app settings), as easily as you gave it. Withdrawal takes effect for the future and does not affect processing already carried out.

We keep a record of the consent you give (including which categories and when), as required by the GDPR's accountability principle. We will ask you to renew your choice periodically (typically no later than every 6–12 months) and whenever the purposes or third parties materially change.

6Section 6. Cookies actually used (cookie inventory)

The specific cookies in use depend on the current technical configuration and change as the Service evolves. An up-to-date inventory — including each cookie's name, category, provider (first- or third-party), purpose, and storage duration — is available in the "Cookie settings" / consent management interface, which is updated whenever cookies are added, removed, or changed. This per-cookie detail is provided through the consent tool rather than hard-coded here so that it always reflects the live configuration.

7Section 7. Third-party cookies and recipients

Some cookies are set by third parties such as analytics providers, marketing partners, and operators of integrated services. These parties may process information about your activity under their own privacy and cookie policies, which you should review. Non-essential third-party cookies are used only with your consent and can be managed through "Cookie settings".

8Section 8. International data transfers

Where a cookie provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area, such transfers take place only where there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission or appropriate safeguards (for example, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses) together with any necessary supplementary measures. Details, where applicable, are provided in the consent tool and the Privacy Policy.

9Section 9. Retention

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser or end your session. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them; the duration of each is shown in "Cookie settings". Records of your consent are kept for as long as needed to demonstrate compliance. Personal data collected via cookies is retained only as long as necessary for the stated purposes and then deleted or anonymised, unless a longer period is required by law.

10Section 10. Managing cookies in your browser or device

In addition to our "Cookie settings", most browsers and devices let you block or delete cookies and reset advertising identifiers. Note that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may impair the functioning of the Service. Browser-level "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signals are honoured where we are technically and legally able to do so.

11Section 11. Your rights and how to complain

To the extent cookies process your personal data, you have the rights described in the Privacy Policy, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority for the Operator is the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky), Hraničná 12, 820 07 Bratislava, Slovakia; you may also complain to the authority in your EU country of residence.

12Section 12. Relationship with the Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy provides full information on how we process personal data, including purposes, legal bases, recipients, international transfers, retention, your rights, and contact details. Where there is a conflict regarding cookie-related personal data, the Privacy Policy prevails.

13Section 13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the law, or our technology. The current version is published within the Service with its update date. For material changes, or where the law requires, we will notify you in advance through the Service or an updated banner and, where applicable, ask for renewed consent.

14Section 14. Contact
