Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on the user's device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when visiting a website. They allow the site to recognize the user's browser and store certain information to improve the browsing experience.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) or persistent (stored for a defined period). They can be set directly by the visited site (first-party cookies) or by external services integrated into the site (third-party cookies).

2. Cookies used by this site

Technical cookies – first party

These cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work and do not require user consent: they keep you signed in to the reserved area after login, protect forms (sign-up, login) from fraudulent submissions and remember the choice made in the cookie banner.

Analytics cookies – Google Analytics (third party)

Only if you give your consent, the site's public pages use Google Analytics 4, a statistical analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. Google Analytics collects aggregated information about site usage (pages visited, visit duration, device type, approximate geographic origin) to help us improve it. It is not used in the reserved area.

Data collected by Google Analytics is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses; data is retained for 14 months and may be transferred to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Cookies used: _ga and _ga_*, maximum duration 2 years.

These cookies require consent, which is requested through the banner on first access. Before you choose, and if you choose "Essential only", the Google Analytics script is not loaded and no data is sent to Google.

3. Third-party cookies and external services

The site may contain elements from external services (e.g. videos, maps, social plugins). These services may install their own cookies independently of spolu.it's management. Please refer to their respective privacy and cookie policies for further information.

4. How to manage or disable cookies

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every public page, or from your browser settings:

Disabling technical cookies may impair some site functionality. Disabling only analytics cookies does not affect navigation.

To disable Google Analytics tracking across all sites, the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on is available.

5. Updates to the Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated in the event of changes to the site or applicable regulations. The last update date is shown at the top of this page.
