Cookie Policy

This page explains how HelloBalkan uses cookies and similar technologies.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. They can keep you logged in, remember a form nonce or measure how a site is used.

Essential cookies

We use a small number of essential cookies needed for the site to work:

• WordPress session cookies — only if you log in to the site or the owner panel.
• Form security cookies — set by our form plugin to protect submissions against spam and cross-site requests.
• Preference storage — remembers small interface choices, such as a dismissed notice.

These cookies are necessary and do not require consent.

Analytics without cookies

We use Independent Analytics, which runs on our own server and does not set cookies, does not fingerprint visitors and does not share data with third parties. It records aggregated page views and referrers only. Because it does not store information on your device, no consent banner is required.

No marketing cookies

We do not use advertising, retargeting or social media pixels. If that changes, we will ask for consent first and update this page.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop login and forms from working.

Changes

We may update this policy when the site changes. The date below shows the latest version.
