Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on chrisungureanu.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. For broader information on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things about your visit — for example, that you've accepted the cookie banner, or help us measure how many people read a particular article.
Your choices
Non-essential cookies only load after you consent via our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking in the footer of any page, or in the banner shown on your first visit.
Cookies we use
1. Strictly necessary (always on)
These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They don't track you across other sites.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cu_consent_v1 | chrisungureanu.com | Stores your cookie preferences so the banner doesn't reappear. | 12 months |
2. Analytics (requires consent)
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content and performance. Data is aggregated and not used to identify individuals.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users. | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Persists session state for GA4 properties. | 2 years |
3. Marketing (requires consent)
These cookies let advertising platforms measure the results of ads we run and (where applicable) show relevant ads on other sites. They are only set once you consent.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Used by Meta Pixel to attribute ad conversions and build audiences. | 3 months |
fr | Meta (Facebook) | Ad delivery and measurement, set when the Meta Pixel is active. | 3 months |
Google Ads cookies (such as _gcl_au, NID) may be added to this list if we run Google Ads campaigns in the future.
Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you make a choice, all analytics and marketing signals are set to "denied" and no non-essential cookies are written. Your decision is stored in the cu_consent_v1 cookie so we can respect it on future visits.
Changes to this policy
We'll update this page whenever we add or remove cookies. Material changes that introduce new tracking will trigger the banner to appear again so you can review your choices.
