What are cookies and how do they work?

SHOT’n’WIN (www.ginklas.lt), hereinafter referred to as the SHOT’n’WIN website, uses cookies to ensure convenient use, improve functionality and efficiency. Cookies are text files that, with your consent, are stored in your device’s browser (e.g., computer, mobile phone, tablet) when you browse the website and collect information about your browsing behavior.

When you visit the website and agree to the use of cookies, cookies are transferred to your computer and later used to distinguish your device from others. They ensure more convenient website use and allow us to improve the website. This is a standard practice when browsing websites, making navigation easier and simplifying access to information. If you agreed to cookies during your first visit, you will not see the cookie notification on subsequent visits. However, you may change your choice by clearing your browser’s cookies and giving new consent, or by selecting “Change cookie settings” in the SHOT’n’WIN website menu and adjusting cookie preferences.

Depending on your selected consent (necessary/technical, functional, or statistical cookies), the following data may be processed via cookies: your IP address, browsing information such as visited website areas, time spent on the site, language preferences (if statistical cookies are selected, the third party “Google Analytics” additionally processes device type, browser type, operating system, and data about visited website pages), etc.
