Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They allow the site to remember information about your visit (for example your login session or preferences) and are widely used to make websites work.

We also use similar technologies (for example the browser's local storage) for the same purposes.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to make the site work, to understand how it is used (statistics) and, only with your consent, for advertising. We group them into three categories, described below.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the site to work and cannot be disabled. Examples:

• htp_sid — maintains your login session. • htp_consent — remembers your cookie choices. • htp_anon — an anonymous identifier used for core features and aggregate measurement.

These cookies do not require consent, as they are strictly necessary.

4. Analytics cookies

These help us understand how the site is used (pages visited, actions) in order to improve it. The data is used in aggregate form. These cookies are enabled only with your consent.

5. Advertising cookies

When advertising is active, we use Google AdSense to display ads. It may set cookies to show relevant ads and measure their performance. Consent is managed through Google's tool (Funding Choices) or through our banner.

Users without ads (for example following a contribution) do not receive these cookies.

6. How to manage cookies

On your first visit we show a banner where you can accept or reject optional cookies. You can change your choices at any time by deleting the site's cookies and reloading the page.

You can also block or delete cookies from your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may affect how the site works.

7. Consent and withdrawal

For analytics and advertising cookies we rely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy. The current version, with the last-updated date, is shown on this page.
