Cookie Policy

Polaris Innovation Technologies Kft.

Effective date: 15 June 2026

  • Version: 1.1 This version has been expanded due to the introduction of the Barion online payment interface and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protection for the public contact form. This notice also clarifies that Google-based services are used exclusively in connection with public pages and the public contact form; such services continue not to be loaded on registered user interfaces.

1. Purpose of this notice

The purpose of this Cookie Notice is to explain what cookies and similar technologies Polaris Innovation Technologies Kft. uses on its website, on landing pages connected to the home page, for the protection of the public contact form, in connection with online payment processes, and in analytics solutions.

This notice describes the purpose, type, and duration of cookies, the method of giving consent, and how cookie settings can be modified or withdrawn.

Google Analytics may only be used for measuring traffic on public pages and landing pages, and it is activated only if analytics consent has been given. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is used exclusively for protecting the public contact form.

Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, or any other Google-based analytics, advertising, or form protection service is not loaded on registered user interfaces. On these interfaces, only cookies necessary for login, session management, security, and the operation of the service may be used.

Online payment may take place through the Barion payment interface. The Barion payment interface may use its own cookies or similar technologies, which are governed by Barion’s own notices.

Affected websites: https://polarisinno.com, https://www.polarisinno.com, as well as related landing pages, the public contact form, and analytics-related subpages operated by Polaris Innovation Technologies Kft.

3. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small data package that a website may place in the visitor’s browser. Cookies can help the website function properly, remember user settings, make use more secure, or provide statistical information about website traffic.

Cookies do not always directly identify a natural person on their own, but in certain cases, together with other data, they may qualify as personal data. For this reason, we provide transparent information about the use of cookies, and we use cookies that are not strictly necessary only on the basis of appropriate consent.

4. Main categories of cookies

6. Use of Google Analytics

Google Analytics allows us to receive statistical information about how visitors use the public website and landing pages. This data helps us understand which pages are useful, where visitors leave the website, and which campaigns bring interested visitors.

The data collected by Google Analytics may include, for example, page views, events, device data, browser data, approximate geographical location, and campaign parameters.

The purpose of analytics measurement is to improve the public website and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. The use of analytics cookies is subject to consent. The visitor may withdraw or modify their consent at any time.

The Google Analytics data retention setting is 14 months.

Google Analytics is not loaded on registered user interfaces.

7. Use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 for protecting the public contact form

Google reCAPTCHA v3 may be used to protect the public contact form. The purpose of reCAPTCHA v3 is to reduce the risk of bots, automated spam submissions, mass submissions, or malicious form submissions.

reCAPTCHA v3 may perform a risk assessment in the background and may use cookies or similar technologies, as well as local storage elements, for this purpose. These may include, for example, _GRECAPTCHA, SIDCC, __Secure-1PSIDCC, __Secure-1PSIDTS, __Secure-3PSIDCC, __Secure-3PSIDTS, and other cookies used by Google for security purposes. These technologies are related to the secure operation of the public contact form and are not used for marketing or traffic measurement purposes.

reCAPTCHA may only be used on the public contact form page. It is not loaded on the home page, other public information pages, or registered user interfaces, and no data is transferred to Google for reCAPTCHA purposes from those pages.

Based on the operation of reCAPTCHA, a form submission may be accepted, rejected, or subject to further manual review. This review does not qualify as automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects them.

8. Cookies related to the Barion payment interface

Online payment may take place through the Barion payment interface. During the payment process, the visitor or user may be redirected to the payment environment provided by Barion, where Barion may use cookies or similar technologies for its own operation, security, fraud prevention, and payment completion.

The cookies and related technologies used by the Barion payment interface are described in Barion’s own privacy and cookie notices. Polaris Innovation Technologies Kft. does not use Barion marketing or remarketing measurement code on its own website.

Bank card data is entered and processed in Barion’s system. Polaris Innovation Technologies Kft. does not receive or store full bank card data.

9. Consent management

When the visitor first opens the website, they are presented with cookie choices. With the exception of strictly necessary cookies, cookies subject to consent may be used only if the visitor has given consent.

Consent must be voluntary, specific, informed, and unambiguous. The visitor must be able to reject non-necessary cookies and later modify their choice.

  • Non-necessary cookies are not activated before consent is given.
  • The options to accept and reject are clearly available.
  • Settings can also be modified by category.
  • Withdrawing consent is not more difficult than giving it.
  • An easily accessible link or button is available on the website to reopen the cookie settings.

reCAPTCHA v3 is a necessary protection technology related to the secure operation of the public contact form, so it is not part of analytics consent. If analytics consent is rejected, Google Analytics is not activated.

16. Special rule for registered user interfaces

On registered user interfaces, Polaris Innovation Technologies Kft. does not use Google Analytics measurement, Google reCAPTCHA protection, Google Ads conversion measurement, Google Tag Manager-based measurement, social media pixels, or any other external tracking code for marketing purposes.

Only cookies and similar technologies may be used on these interfaces that are necessary for login, permission management, session management, security, language or basic user settings, or the operation of the service.

Avoiding external analytics and marketing codes on registered interfaces is an important principle from both data minimization and security perspectives.
