Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 16 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones masiyo.info uses, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. This policy complies with the Polish Act on Providing Services by Electronic Means (Ustawa z dnia 18 lipca 2002 r. o świadczeniu usług drogą elektroniczną) and the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Polish law, as well as GDPR requirements for consent.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information. Cookies serve a variety of purposes, from keeping you logged in (not applicable here) to helping website operators understand how their content is used.
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels may also be used by embedded third-party services. This policy covers all such technologies collectively alongside cookies.
Your consent
Under Polish law and the GDPR, cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function require your prior, informed, and freely given consent. When you first visit masiyo.info, a cookie consent tool appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen. You may accept all categories, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences by category.
Your preference is stored in a cookie named mi_consent. This is an essential cookie necessary to remember your choice. You may change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will re-present the consent tool.
Withdrawing consent is straightforward and will not affect your ability to access the informational content on this website. Essential cookies will continue to be placed regardless of your preference, as they are necessary for the website to function.
Categories of cookies we use
Essential cookies
Legal basis: Legitimate interest in operating a functional website. No consent required.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include the cookie that stores your cookie consent preference (mi_consent) and any session-level cookies set by the web hosting infrastructure. They do not collect personal data for marketing or analytics purposes.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| mi_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
Analytics cookies
Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Only placed after you accept this category.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with masiyo.info. They allow us to measure which pages are read, how long visitors spend on each guide, and which navigation paths are common. This information is used to improve the content and structure of the website. Analytics data is processed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.
If analytics services are enabled, they may be provided by third parties such as Google Analytics. In that case, data may be transferred outside the EEA under Standard Contractual Clauses. You may opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Marketing cookies
Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Only placed after you accept this category.
Marketing cookies may be used to serve relevant informational content and to measure the reach of content through advertising platforms. Masiyo does not sell products. Any marketing cookies that may be present are related to understanding the reach of the editorial content, not to commercial conversion. If marketing cookies are set by third-party services such as Google Ads, those third parties have their own privacy policies governing the use of that data.
You may opt out of interest-based advertising through the Google Ads Settings page or through the IAB Europe opt-out tool at youronlinechoices.com.
Third-party cookies
This website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact page. When you view that page, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies. These are third-party cookies over which Masiyo has no direct control. By visiting the contact page, you may be subject to Google's cookie practices regardless of your Masiyo cookie preference, as the map is loaded from Google's servers.
Animation and font libraries loaded from third-party CDNs (such as Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and AOS) may result in your IP address being transmitted to those providers' servers. This is a technical necessity of loading external resources and does not involve the setting of persistent tracking cookies by those services in standard configurations.
How to manage cookies in your browser
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies. The method varies by browser. You can typically find cookie settings under Privacy, Security, or Site Settings in your browser's preferences. Deleting the mi_consent cookie will cause the consent tool to reappear on your next visit to masiyo.info.
Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of other websites you visit, not just masiyo.info. Blocking essential cookies on this website may prevent the consent preference from being saved correctly.
Browser-level cookie management tools include: Chrome settings at chrome://settings/cookies, Firefox at about:preferences#privacy, Edge at edge://settings/privacy, and Safari under Preferences > Privacy.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in the third-party services embedded on this website. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. If the changes are significant, we will make reasonable efforts to draw attention to them. Continued use of masiyo.info after an update to this policy constitutes acknowledgement of the revised version.
