No cookies
The site sets no cookie and loads nothing from elsewhere: fonts are served from our own servers, and there is no social button, no image and no script from a third party.
The only request that goes to another address is our audience measurement, described below. The site does not depend on it: blocking it changes nothing about what you see.
Three preferences, which are not cookies
The site keeps three settings in your browser's local storage. They are not cookies: they are never sent to a server, serve no tracking purpose, and stay on your device until you clear the site's data.
| Key | What it remembers |
|---|---|
vukassa.theme | Your theme choice: light, dark, or the system's |
vukassa.locale-hint | The language you picked — it stops us offering the other one, and takes you to the right version on your next visit |
vukassa.consent | Your answer to the banner — it is what stops us asking again |
Audience measurement without cookies
To know which pages are useful, the site sends our own counter, stats.vukassa.com, three signals: a page viewed, a page read (visible for fifteen seconds and scrolled three quarters of the way), a click to a store.
Each signal carries the page address and, for a page viewed, the site you came from. The counter works out your country and your type of device (phone, tablet or computer) from it. To count the same visitor only once in a day, it computes a fingerprint from your IP address and your browser, mixed with a secret value and the date. It changes every day: two visits on different days cannot be linked. The counter keeps neither your IP address nor your browser's name.
The detail, fingerprint included, is erased after two days. All that remains are anonymous daily totals, kept with no time limit. Nothing is written to your browser, no profile is built, and nothing is passed to an advertiser. The counter runs at Cloudflare, our processor.
You can opt out: if your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, the site sends nothing more. A content blocker has the same effect.
Google Analytics, if it is enabled
Google Analytics 4 is not enabled on this site: the banner does not appear and no cookie can be set. Asking permission to store something we do not store would make no sense.
If it ever were, the script would be loaded only after you accept, never before, and Google's consent mode would be initialised to deny everything as soon as the page loads. This measurement would be used to improve the site, not for advertising or targeting: there is no ad network on this site, no data is combined with an advertising profile, and nothing is passed to an advertiser.
The cookies set, if Google Analytics is enabled and you accept
Two cookies, both set by Google Analytics. Their lifetime is brought down to thirteen months, the maximum recommended by the French data protection authority — without that setting, Google would set them for two years.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Telling visitors apart from one another | 13 months |
_ga_<ID> | Following the current visit session | 13 months |
Changing your choice
A consent you cannot withdraw is not one. The first button reopens the banner: you can then accept or decline again. The second declines immediately, and erases the cookies already set.
Google Analytics is not enabled on this site: there is no choice to revisit, and no cookie to decline.
Browser settings
Your browser can also block or clear cookies site by site, in its privacy settings. A blanket block does not stop this site working; it only stops it remembering your answer to the banner, which you will therefore be asked again.
