Cookie Policy
I. What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website stores in the User’s browser. Similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage, work in the same way. They are used to make a website work, remember choices, or measure how it performs. This Cookie Policy explains which ones this Website (https://bants.dev/) uses, in accordance with Article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE) and the GDPR. The owner of this Website is identified in the Legal Notice.
II. Cookies and similar technologies used on this Website
This Website does not use advertising or social media cookies. It uses Google Analytics 4 analytics cookies only if the User accepts them. The following are used on this Website:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieyes-consent | This Website (CookieYes) | Stores the User’s cookie choice so that the banner is not shown on every page. | Necessary, first-party cookie | 1 year |
| wp_consent_functional, wp_consent_preferences, wp_consent_statistics, wp_consent_statistics-anonymous, wp_consent_marketing | This Website (WP Consent API) | Pass the User’s choice for each cookie category to other parts of the Website. | Necessary, first-party cookies | 30 days |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) | Distinguishes visitors with a random identifier, to measure how the Website is used. Set only after the User accepts analytics cookies. | Analytics, first-party cookie (only with consent) | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) | Keeps the session state for this Website’s Google Analytics 4 property. Set only after the User accepts analytics cookies. | Analytics, first-party cookie (only with consent) | Up to 2 years |
No cookies are set by the server when pages are loaded.
Google Analytics 4 runs only after consent: the Website uses Google Consent Mode with the CookieYes banner, so analytics storage stays denied and no _ga or _ga_* cookie is set unless the User accepts analytics cookies. Google Analytics keeps event-level data for 2 months; the _ga and _ga_* cookies themselves last up to 2 years. More details are in the Privacy Policy.
III. How to accept, reject or change cookies
When the User first visits this Website, a banner offers the options to accept all, reject all, or choose by category. Non-essential cookies and similar technologies are only used if the User accepts them. The User can change the choice or withdraw consent at any time from the “Consent Preferences” button shown on every page, which reopens the cookie settings; withdrawing consent stops Google Analytics. The User can also delete or block cookies in the browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may mean the banner appears on every page.
IV. Changes to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when the cookies used on this Website change. The current version is always available on this page.
