1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) can serve the same purposes and are treated the same way in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

elizwane.org uses cookies for two purposes:

Functional / security — remembering your cookie choice, keeping the Website secure. These are always active.
Analytics and advertising measurement — Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads, delivered via Google Tag Manager. These are only activated after you click Accept in the banner.

3. Google Consent Mode v2

The default settings depend on where you are.

EEA, the UK and Switzerland — by default we set all Google storage flags to denied:

ad_storage — denied
ad_user_data — denied
ad_personalization — denied
analytics_storage — denied
functionality_storage — granted
security_storage — granted

In this state, Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads still receive privacy-safe cookieless signals (with ads_data_redaction=true and url_passthrough=true) so that campaign measurement continues to work, but no advertising or analytics cookies are set on your device. When you click Accept, all four flags are updated to granted and cookies may be written.

All other regions — all flags are set to granted by default, so analytics and advertising cookies may be written when the page loads. You can opt out at any time in the cookie banner: open Settings, switch off analytics and/or advertising and click Save choice; the corresponding flags are then updated to denied.

4. Cookies we may set

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland these cookies are set only after your consent; in other regions they may be set by default unless you opt out.

Name / prefix	Provider	Purpose	Typical lifetime
`_ga`, `_ga_*`	Google Analytics 4	Distinguishing users and sessions	Up to 2 years

Wistia may set functional cookies when you play the hero or a video review; see Wistia Privacy Policy.

5. How to change your choice

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing the site data for elizwane.org in your browser — the banner will reappear on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies using your browser settings. For deeper questions, contact ponigorov@abv.bg.

6. Changes

We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top.
