Cookies Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Cookies Policy explains how Galebe ("we", "us", "our"), operator of this website and provider of the Mentorship Program for Entrepreneurs, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. This Policy is issued in accordance with the Polish Telecommunications Law (Ustawa Prawo telekomunikacyjne), which implements the EU ePrivacy Directive, as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to the extent that cookie data may constitute personal data.

If you have any questions about this Policy or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected], by phone at +48 58 011 44 38, or by post at Ulica Jasienska 42, 84-858 Gdańsk, Poland.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit it. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or browse from page to page.

2. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under Article 173 of the Polish Telecommunications Law, storing or accessing information on a visitor's device requires the visitor's consent, unless the cookie is strictly necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the visitor. This is why we distinguish between essential and optional cookies, as described below.

3. Cookies We Actually Set

We keep our use of cookies to an absolute minimum. This website sets only one cookie. The table below lists it in full — no other cookies, tags, pixels, or tracking scripts of any kind are placed by this site itself.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration Type
privacy_state Stores the consent choice you make regarding cookies on this website, so that we do not ask you again on every visit. 1 year Essential

We do not use analytics cookies, statistical tracking scripts, session identifiers, cross-site tracking pixels, or any third-party measurement tools embedded directly on our general website pages. We do not operate, and this site does not set, cookies associated with any analytics, social media, or search engine platform.

4. Essential vs. Optional Cookies

Cookies are generally divided into two categories:

Because our only cookie is essential and relates solely to storing your consent decision, no optional cookies are placed automatically. Any optional, consent-based technology on our site operates strictly as described in Section 5 below.

5. Advertising Measurement on the Confirmation Page

On the confirmation page that you may reach after completing certain actions on our website (such as registering interest in our mentorship program), advertising measurement technology may be activated — but only after you have given your consent. This measurement is not present anywhere else on the site and does not run before consent is granted. It does not use the privacy_state cookie, and its activation is entirely dependent on the consent choice you make.

If you do not consent, no advertising measurement technology is loaded, and no data is shared with any advertising partner from the confirmation page.

6. How to Change or Withdraw Your Consent

You are free to change or withdraw your consent at any time. You may do so in the following ways:

Please note that if you delete or block the privacy_state cookie, the website may ask for your consent preference again on your next visit, as it will no longer remember your previous choice.

7. Managing Cookies via Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

Please be aware that blocking essential cookies such as privacy_state may affect the functioning of our consent mechanism, meaning the website will not be able to remember your cookie preference.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

To the extent that information collected through cookies constitutes personal data, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of such data, as well as the right to data portability, under the General Data Protection Regulation. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, UODO), if you believe your rights have been infringed.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
