The operator of the dlj.sk portal processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Slovak Act No. 18/2018 Coll. on Personal Data Protection.

2. What Data We Process

The dlj.sk portal is an informational website about the Dobšiná Ice Cave with no user registration. We do not collect any analytics data about visitors.

The only data we store is your cookie preference (cookie consent).

3. Cookies

This website uses only one essential cookie:

Name Purpose Category Validity
__Host-cookie_consent Storing cookie preferences (host-bound, Secure, SameSite=Lax) Essential 365 days

4. Legal Basis

Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — an essential cookie required for the technical operation of the cookie banner.

5. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right of access, rectification, erasure and data portability, the right to withdraw consent and the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (dataprotection.gov.sk).

6. Security

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption
  • Security headers: CSP, HSTS, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy
  • Protection: fail2ban, UFW firewall

7. Third Parties

We do not share any personal data with third parties. The portal relies on the following external services:

Service Purpose Provider
OpenStreetMap Displaying a map with the cave location OpenStreetMap Foundation
Open-Meteo Current weather data and forecast open-meteo.com (CC BY 4.0)
Webcams Live views of the surrounding area panorama.sk (oh.sk), kukaj.se, skitelgart.sk

These services may log your device's IP address when the content is loaded. The dlj.sk portal has no control over this processing. For more information, please see the privacy policies of the respective providers.

8. Service Worker and Offline Cache

The dlj.sk portal uses a Service Worker (a browser technology) to store static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, photos, fonts) in your browser's local cache. This makes the site load faster and keeps it partially available offline (e.g. in the valley near the cave with poor signal).

No personal data is stored — only public static files are cached. The cache is managed locally by your browser and is not sent anywhere.

How to disable: clear "Site data" / "Storage" for dlj.sk in your browser settings, open the site with the ?nosw=1 parameter, or set localStorage.setItem('dlj_sw_off','1') in the DevTools console.
