1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device to store information — for example, to remember a preference or to help the site measure how it is used. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work in the same way. This policy uses the word "cookies" to cover all of them.
2. Our Approach
By default, this website (eabid.eu) sets only the essential cookies required for it to function. We do not load any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies until you give your explicit consent through the cookie banner. This is in line with the EU ePrivacy rules and the GDPR.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies (always active)
These are necessary for the website to work and cannot be switched off. They do not require consent. This includes storing your own cookie choice so we do not ask you again on every visit.
eabid-cookie-consent— remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies (stored locally in your browser).
Analytics cookies (only with your consent)
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. They are set only after you accept optional cookies in the banner.
- Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) — measures how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed, approximate location, and device type. Cookies:
_ga,_ga_<id>. Data may be processed on Google servers. - Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Corporation) — provides heatmaps and session replays of interactions (clicks, scrolling, mouse movement) to help us understand usability. Cookies:
_clck,_clsk.
4. Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode. Until you make a choice, analytics tools are held in a denied state and do not store cookies or personal identifiers. Your choice — accept or reject — updates this state immediately.
5. Managing Your Consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
- Use the "Cookie Consent Settings" link in the footer to reopen the cookie banner and make a new choice.
- Delete cookies and clear site data through your browser settings. All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) let you view, block, and delete cookies in their privacy or security settings.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.
