Rates are the European Central Bank's daily euro foreign exchange reference rates, served by the Frankfurter API. The ECB publishes them on business days at around 16:00 CET; they are not live market prices and do not change at weekends or on holidays.
The figures are mid-market values: bank margins, transfer fees and card fees are not included, so the rate you are offered will differ.
