Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Related technologies such as localStorage store small amounts of data directly in the browser without sending it to a server. This policy covers both.

2. What we use

  • Consent record (necessary). When you make a choice in the cookie banner we store it in a first-party cookie named mikes_consent for 365 days. It holds only your decision and its date, so we do not have to ask again on every visit. If we change what we ask consent for, the record is invalidated and the banner returns.
  • Analytics cookies (Google), optional. With your consent we use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 to measure how the site is used: which pages are visited, from what kind of device and roughly where from. Google sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_* for this purpose. Until you accept, Google Consent Mode keeps analytics storage denied and no analytics cookie is set. The data is aggregated and used only to improve the catalog. Details: Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Preference storage. Your light/dark theme choice and your event shortlist are kept in your browser's localStorage. They never leave your device and contain no personal data.
  • Functional cookies. The administrative area sets a session cookie for signed-in administrators only. Regular visitors never receive it.

We do not use advertising cookies and we do not run third-party ad networks.

3. Managing cookies

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time: . The same link sits in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent stops analytics from the next page view; cookies Google already set expire on their own or can be deleted in your browser.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings; every major browser lets you refuse all cookies, refuse third-party cookies or clear stored data. The site remains fully usable without analytics cookies. You can additionally opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with Google's browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
