Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. They help a website remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2. Why Cookies Are Used
We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure that our website functions correctly, to understand how visitors interact with our content, and to remember your privacy preferences. Our use of cookies is strictly limited to enhancing your experience and maintaining the core functionality of the site.
3. Types of Cookies and Storage We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. Without these cookies, certain basic features of the website cannot be provided. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences. Because they are vital to the operation of the site, they cannot be switched off in our systems.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. Currently, our site is fundamentally informational and does not heavily rely on functional cookies beyond basic layout state management.
Preference Cookies
These are used to remember choices you make while browsing (such as your decision to accept or reject our cookie banner) so that you are not repeatedly prompted with the same questions upon every visit.
Analytics/Performance Cookies
If implemented, these cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance. These are only active if you explicitly consent.
Advertising and Third-Party Cookies
We do not implement aggressive third-party marketing cookies, advertising networks, or cross-site tracking systems. If any third-party cookies are actually used, they are strictly limited to providing necessary infrastructure (like hosting optimization) and are not used to build targeted advertising profiles.
Local Storage
In addition to traditional cookies, we utilize your browser's local storage capabilities. Specifically, we use a local storage key (`wasntmegazett_cookie_consent`) strictly to remember whether you have accepted or rejected our cookie banner, ensuring a smoother browsing experience without repetitive pop-ups.
4. Cookie Consent and Management
When you first visit our site, you are presented with a cookie banner allowing you to choose how your data is handled.
Accepting Cookies
By selecting "Accept All", you allow the use of all necessary functionality and basic performance measurement cookies as described in this policy.
Rejecting Non-Essential Cookies
By selecting "Reject Non-Essential", you block all cookies except those that are strictly essential for the site to function and to record your rejection preference.
Managing Cookie Preferences
You can manage your specific preferences by selecting "Manage Preferences" on the initial banner, which will open an interface allowing you to toggle specific categories of non-essential cookies on or off.
Changing Preferences Later
You may change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies for this site, which will prompt the cookie banner to reappear on your next page load, allowing you to set new preferences.
5. Browser Cookie Controls
In addition to our preference manager, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can configure your browser to block cookies entirely, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a new cookie is being sent.
Disabling Cookies
To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit standard online privacy resources or check the "Help" section of your specific web browser.
Effect of Disabling Cookies
Please note that disabling essential cookies via your browser may affect the functionality of our website. You may not be able to fully utilize the site or your consent preferences may not be saved, resulting in the banner reappearing constantly.
6. Cookie Retention
Cookies and local storage data are retained on your device for varying periods depending on their purpose. Essential preference cookies typically remain until you clear your browser data, whereas session cookies expire immediately once you close your browser window.
7. Changes to the Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
8. Relationship Between the Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle other forms of personal data and outlines your overall privacy rights.
