1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They are used to remember preferences, keep the basic site working or — in other contexts — for advertising tracking. On this site we use a minimal set, strictly for the basic functioning.

2. Categories used on this site

Strictly necessary (cannot be disabled)

gc_cookie_consent_v2 (localStorage) — stores your cookie preferences, valid 12 months.
NEXT_LOCALE (cookie) — remembers your language (Romanian / English), valid up to 12 months.
theme (localStorage) — remembers your light/dark theme, kept until manually cleared.

Functional (optional, off by default)

We currently use NO functional cookies. This category is listed for transparency in case we add such cookies later.

Analytics (optional, off by default)

We currently run NO Google Analytics, Plausible or other analytics tools. The category is listed as a placeholder.
