1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between page loads, such as which language you've selected, or whether you're signed in. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags; this policy covers all of them regardless of name.
2. What we use cookies for
bytecraftmedia.eu uses the minimum number of cookies necessary to operate. Where we use anything beyond strictly-necessary cookies, we ask for your consent first via the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings.
3. Cookies we currently set
Strictly necessary (always on, no consent required)
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
bytecraft_locale | bytecraftmedia.eu | Remembers your selected language so the site loads in the same locale next visit. | 1 year |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management. Distinguishes humans from automated traffic; required for spam protection on the contact form. | 30 minutes |
Analytics (consent required, currently disabled)
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
_vercel_* | Vercel Web Analytics | Anonymous page-view counts. No personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking. Currently disabled outside production, only loads on the live bytecraftmedia.eu domain. | Session |
4. Third-party cookies
Aside from the Cloudflare and Vercel cookies above, this site does not embed third-party content that sets cookies (no YouTube embeds, no Twitter widgets, no advertising networks). If a future page embeds third-party content (for example, a Cal.com booking widget on the Contact page), this policy will be updated before the embed goes live.
5. How to manage cookies
Most browsers let you accept, reject, or delete cookies through their settings menu. The exact path varies by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent the site from remembering your language preference; the site will still function but will reload in the default locale on each visit.
6. How this policy stays accurate
We re-audit the actual cookies set on bytecraftmedia.eu before each material site change (e.g. new third-party embeds, analytics provider swaps) and update the tables in section 3 to match reality. The Last updated date at the top of this page reflects the most recent audit.
