• Functional cookies – These cookies are always active and necessary for our website to function properly. These cookies are mandatory for the proper functioning of the basic functions of the website such as navigation, online shopping, billing, content optimization, etc. They are usually set in response to certain interactions you have with the website, such as cookie settings adjustments, login, or filling out electronic forms. These cookies do not contain any personal information and cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the proper functioning of the basic functions of the website, such as displaying content, navigating through web pages, processing orders in the online store, logging in with the Telecom profile, accessing protected areas of the website, etc. Using the website without these cookies means that some parts of the website will not function properly.

For example, we can determine how many people visit our website or a specific service. They are also useful for statistical assessments that show us how people use our digital services.

• Marketing cookies – These cookies are used for displaying advertising content and measuring the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies cannot be directly linked to a specific person. We use these cookies to show you personalized ads and content that are relevant to you. Cookies and similar marketing technologies ensure that you see ads that match your interests instead of random ads. We also use marketing technologies to check how well users receive the advertisement. This helps us continuously improve our advertising. Marketing technologies are also used on the websites of our advertising partners. This is called re-targeting. It also allows us to show you relevant ads on other websites.

Upon your first visit to a website of Macedonian Telecom AD Skopje, a message (cookie banner) is displayed informing you that we and our partners use cookies, with an explanation of the offered options: ‘’Only necessary‘’ - for the proper functioning of our website, and ‘’Accept all’’ which means you allow access to information on your devices and the use of cookies for analytical and marketing purposes by MKT and our partners. Your data may be transferred to countries outside the EU and the Republic of North Macedonia in accordance with Article 53 of the Law on Personal Data Protection of the Republic of North Macedonia (Official Gazette of RNM, No. 42 of 16.2.2020 and Official Gazette of RNM, No. 294/21).

5. Legal basis for processing personal data

We process personal data based on your visit to our website only if we have an appropriate legal basis according to the Law on Personal Data Protection.

Your data will be processed in the Republic of North Macedonia and other European countries. If, in exceptional cases, your data is processed in countries outside the European Union (so-called third countries), this will occur:

• If you have explicitly consented to this. (In most countries outside the EU, the level of data protection does not meet EU standards). This particularly applies to comprehensive surveillance and control rights of state authorities, for example, in the USA, which disproportionately interfere with the data protection of European citizens.
• To the extent necessary to provide our services to you.
• If it is required by law.

Additionally, your data will be processed in third countries only if certain measures are taken to ensure an adequate level of data protection (for example, an adequacy decision by the Data Protection Authority).
