Cookies

Cookies are valid for all users of the website www.vpk.si, which is managed by the company 360 VPK d.o.o.​, Cesta 24. junija 90, 1000 Ljubljana.

The privacy policy is governed by the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter: GDPR or General Regulation).

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small txt files that your browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Internet Explorer) stores on your computer when you browse the web. In accordance with the recommendations of the Information Commissioner, we have placed a notice on the use of cookies on our website, and at the same time we have also enabled you to choose which cookies you want to use and which you do not.

Cookies are not harmful and do not contain viruses or other malicious code. They are used for a variety of purposes, for sessions (e.g. logging in to forums), for online shopping carts, for displaying various advanced content on the website (e.g. maps, video), for keeping statistics on page visits, for supporting social media plug-ins, and also for displaying adverts tailored to the web user. The legal restriction on cookies is mainly due to the misuse of cookie technology to track users and thus interfere with online privacy.

Cookies are always time-limited. They do not allow user identification and cannot be used to specifically identify a user who uses a device to access the Internet.

Since the privacy of users is very important to us, we strive to offer users all the information about cookies that we use on the website in order to enable better functioning of the website and a more pleasant user experience. We will carefully protect the obtained information and data and use them exclusively for the purposes of providing the online service, analysis of use, advertising systems and functionality.

Visit statistics – mandatory cookies

The operators of the vpk.si website want to know where our visitors stay, which of the individual contents are most visited and where you come to our website from. This is our only feedback and mostly the only contact with our visitors. As a result, we obtain anonymous viewing statistics. Based on the cookies we load on your computer, we may know whether you visiting us for the first time or whether you are our regular visitor. These are also mandatory cookies, which are allowed as an exception under Article 157 of ZEK-1.

Can Google identify me based on the values stored in this cookies?

The short answer is NO. Google cannot personally identify anyone on the basis of this record. For each website that uses Google Analytics, each web user has different identifiers that are generated randomly.

Additional privacy precautions in relation to these cookies

To prevent Google from collecting personal data, we use a masking of all visitors’ IP addresses (anonimisation), which prevents Google from being able to store your IP address and link your activities on vpk.si to any other activities on other websites. You can read more about IP address masking here.

The administrators of vpk.si do not process or store the exact IP addresses of visitors to the website, nor does Google, which keeps your personal data, such as identification or location data, private and secure while you browse.

At the same time, Google does not have permission to use the data for any purpose other than to provide services to Universal Analytics.

If you do not want Google Analytics to track your online activities anywhere, Google has provided a Google opt-out tool that allows you to prevent Google Analytics from recording any statistics about your activities across the web.

► IPRS guidelines on the use of cookies

► Google privacy policy (applies to all its services and servicing, including Youtube)
