These cookies store information about the content you view and interact with, allowing the Website to remember your preferences and settings or analyze how you use online services.

Cookies are categorized into “first-party cookies” and “third-party cookies”:

  • First-party cookies are created by the domain owner—in this case, PM Stahl s.r.o. All cookies we place ourselves are considered first-party cookies.
  • Third-party cookies are added to our domain by trusted partners who have received the appropriate consent from us. These may include social media platforms, advertising partners, security providers, etc.
