the short version
Strictly-necessary, first-party cookies only — they keep you signed in and remember the access gate. No advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies; our analytics run server-side and cookieless. Our cookies are first-party and EU-served (primary EU residency — some wider-service processors operate elsewhere under safeguards; see the Privacy Policy).
why there’s no cookie banner
Every cookie we set is strictly necessary for a service you explicitly requested (signing in, or the access gate). Under ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC Art. 5(3) — transposed in Bulgaria by the Electronic Commerce Act (ЗЕТ) Art. 4a(4) — strictly-necessary cookies are exempt from the prior-consent requirement, so we don’t show a consent banner or ask for consent. We publish this notice for transparency. This would only change if we ever set a non-essential cookie (for example a tracking or advertising cookie) — we currently set none.
cookies we set
4 entries · all strictly necessary
| # | Cookie | Purpose | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __session, __client_uat (+ __client_uat_<hash>) | Authentication — keeps you signed in across page loads. Set by our authentication provider. | Strictly necessary | Session / provider-managed | |
| omega-session | Encrypted admin/owner login session (holds only an email and timestamp). | Strictly necessary | ~30 days | |
| omega_auth | Mirrors your signed-in state so the navigation renders correctly (value “1”, no personal data). | Strictly necessary | ~7 days | |
| omega-site-gate | Remembers that you passed the preview access gate, so you aren’t re-challenged on every page. | Strictly necessary | ~14 days |
We set no advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies, and no tracking pixels or fingerprinting. Product analytics are server-side and cookieless — they don’t store or read anything on your device, so there are no analytics cookies.
your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you do, expect to be re-challenged by the access gate on each visit, that you won’t stay signed in, and that signed-in navigation may not render correctly — the site relies on these cookies to work. A browser “Do Not Track” signal has nothing to disable here, since we set no tracking cookies. To ask how a specific cookie is used, email [email protected].
