↦  COOKIES

Cookies

What I store on your device, what for, and for how long.

I keep this to a minimum, and I would rather name everything explicitly than write generalities. Apart from analytics – which you switch on yourself – I use no third-party trackers, no ads and no social plugins. Fonts are served from my own server, so simply visiting the site sends your IP address to nobody but my hosting provider.

Always active

Necessary for the site to work

These require no consent, because without them the service you are asking for simply would not work (art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, implemented in Poland as art. 399(3) of the Electronic Communications Law).

csrfToken Session
Protects the forms against CSRF, that is against being submitted in your name from someone else's site. Not readable by scripts (HttpOnly), holds no personal data.
PHPSESSID Session
The session identifier. It appears when the site has to remember something between one click and the next – the confirmation shown after sending a form, for instance. It disappears when you close the browser.
flat-cake-consent 180 days
Remembers your decision about analytics (granted or denied), so I do not ask again on every page.

Beyond the above I store nothing in your browser – neither in localStorage nor in sessionStorage.

With consent

Analytics

Loaded only after you accept. Used to count visits, so that I know which pages are read.

If you click Accept, I load Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) with IP anonymisation enabled. Only then – and not a moment earlier – does Google set two cookies:

_ga up to 2 years
Tells one browser from another, so the same person returning to the site is not counted twice.
_ga_1W0KY08WED up to 2 years
Holds the state of the current session for statistics.

The declared lifetime is 2 years, but modern browsers usually shorten such cookies to around 13 months anyway.

Without your consent the Google script is not downloaded at all. You can change your mind at any time – in both directions:

Account holders only

Admin panel

Applies only to people I have set up an editing account for. An ordinary visitor never receives these.

fp_* 1 year
A set of panel appearance preferences – among others fp_actions, fp_theme, fp_sidebar, fp_width, fp_locale. They remember how you like the interface arranged. They serve no analytics or tracking purpose.
