2. Definition and Purpose of Cookies

We use so-called cookies on some of our websites.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) that store information about your use of our websites. They may, for example, make it possible to remember your settings and choices, measure traffic and user behaviour, and improve functionality and the user experience.

2. Types of Cookies

By origin:

  • First-party cookies – these are stored directly by our website or (in the case of our website www.chiochips.cz) by the Matomo tool running on our domain.
  • Third-party cookies – we do not use them unless stated otherwise.

By duration:

  • Session cookies – temporary cookies that disappear after the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies – remain for a certain period of time or until you delete them.

By purpose:

  • Essential (functional) cookies – necessary for the technical operation of our websites.
  • Analytical (performance/statistical) cookies – used to measure traffic and analyse user behaviour.

3. Cookies Used

We use the following cookies on our websites:

We use only essential (functional) cookies and do not use any analytics or tracking tools.

We use only essential (functional) cookies and do not use any analytics or tracking tools.

For analytical purposes, we use the Matomo tool, which helps us collect anonymised data on traffic and visitor behaviour.

Analytical cookies:

  • _pk_id.* – expiry: 13 months – Recognition of a visitor during a repeated visit (contains an anonymous ID).
  • _pk_ses.* – expiry: 30 minutes – Maintaining a session for analytical measurements.
  • _pk_ref.* – expiry: 6 months – Stores information about the source of the visit (e.g. which page you came from).
  • _pk_cvar.* – expiry: 30 minutes – Stores custom visitor variables for analytics.
  • _pk_testcookie – expiry: until the browser is closed – Verifies whether the browser supports cookies.
  • MATOMO_SESSID – expiry: 14 days – Internal identification of the Matomo session.
  • pk_hsr – expiry: 30 minutes – Related to the Heatmap function in Matomo and used to temporarily store data about the visitor's session for analytical purposes. The heatmap anonymously shows us where visitors most often click on the page or how far they scroll. This allows us to improve the clarity and usability of the website.
  • pk_uid – expiry: 13 months – makes it possible to anonymously recognise repeated visits by the same visitor across sessions and devices so that we can evaluate website traffic and use and improve website content.
  • MatomoAbTesting: expiry: until the visitor deletes the data themselves, the browser automatically removes it, or it is removed by the website / Matomo script. It helps compare different versions of pages (for example, a different button or page layout) so that we can find out which version is clearer and works better for visitors.

Functional cookies:

  • geo_redirected – expiry: 1 hour – Setting the language environment based on location, which is not stored.
  • PHPSESSID – expiry: until the browser is closed – Internal identification of the web session.
  • mtm_consent_removed – expiry: 12 months – records that the visitor has refused analytical tracking. This means we do not have to request their choice again on every visit.
  • mtm_cookie_consent – expiry: 12 months – stores information about consent granted for analytical cookies so that it does not need to be requested again on every visit.

The asterisk (*) means that the cookie name is supplemented by a unique identifier.

We use only essential (functional) cookies. We use the Etracker tool in cookieless mode, i.e. we do not use marketing or analytical cookies.
