Cookie policy

Cookies - what and why.

Cookies and similar browser mechanisms help the site work predictably. We use them sparingly and according to the user’s choice.

Last updated:

Essential browser storage

The cookie banner saves your choice in localStorage under cookie-consent. Values are accepted or essential. This prevents us from asking the same question on every visit. This storage is necessary to manage consent and does not require separate consent.

Technical cookies and security

Cloudflare may use technical security and delivery mechanisms needed to protect and serve the site. They are not used by Polonia to sell data or perform marketing profiling.

Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 (G-2XRZJ4KGPV) in Google Consent Mode. Before consent, analytics storage is denied by default. After clicking “Accept all”, GA4 helps us measure visits, popular pages, traffic sources and general website usage so we can improve the content and user experience. Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity are currently not enabled.

Marketing

We currently do not use marketing or retargeting cookies. If that changes, we will update this page and ask for consent before enabling such tools.

External resources

The site uses Google Fonts and may display Google Maps on contact and location pages. These services may process technical browser information under their own privacy policies.

How to disable or change your choice

You can remove cookies and site data in your browser settings. After clearing site data, the banner will appear again and let you choose consent again. Blocking all browser storage mechanisms may make the site work less smoothly.
