1. Who runs this site

1. https://madeineurope.news is operated by Bjorg.tech Sp. z o.o. Contact: ada@ada-margo.com.
2. This policy supplements our privacy notice and lists the cookies and local-storage entries we use.

2. Cookies and local storage

1. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. localStorage and sessionStorage work similarly and are covered by this policy.
2. Strictly necessary cookies are set because they are required to deliver the service. Analytics cookies are set only after you consent in the banner.

3. Categories and inventory

Strictly necessary — always on

1. reader-unlocked / access session (cookie and localStorage) — keeps reader access after a password entry or purchase; up to 365 days with “Remember me”, shorter otherwise.
2. cookie-consent (localStorage) — stores your cookie choice; up to 12 months.
3. ab-* / content experiment variant (localStorage) — keeps the same page variant across visits; up to 12 months.
4. Paddle cookies (paddle.com, paddle.net) — checkout, payment processing and fraud detection, governed by the Paddle privacy policy.

Analytics — consent only

1. _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics 4) — distinguishing sessions and devices, visit statistics; up to 14 months. The GA4 script loads only after consent.

We use no marketing, remarketing or advertising-profiling cookies.

4. Managing your consent

1. On your first visit a banner offers “Accept all”, “Necessary only” and “Settings” (per-category choice). Your decision is stored locally in your browser.
2. You can change or withdraw consent at any time in the Cookie settings section at the bottom of this page — the banner reappears and analytics stays off until you consent again.
3. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may require re-entering the reader password.
4. Declining analytics does not limit access to purchased content or to consultation bookings.

5. Changes

1. If the cookie inventory changes materially we raise the policy version and ask for consent again.
