1. Introduction
Your privacy is important to us. This Cookie Notice explains how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
When we say "you" or "your" in this Cookie Notice, we mean visitors to our website. When we use “Goldman Sachs”, “GS Markets”, "we", "us" or "ours", we are referring to Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE. Whenever we refer to "website" we mean markets.goldmansachs.pl.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide aggregated reporting information. We use the term ‘cookies’ to include all technologies that work in a similar way.
Cookies set by a website owner (in this case, Goldman Sachs) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". On the website we only use first party cookies.

Our analytics cookies are optional and we will only store these cookies on your device if you have provided your consent. By accepting analytics cookies, you agree with the related processing of your personal data.
The analytics cookies will expire if you withdraw your consent by changing your preferences in our cookie preference tool or after one year.
4. Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
