Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They are needed for the site to function, remember your choices, and help understand visitor behavior.

By «cookies» in this document we also mean similar technologies: localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, web beacons.

2. Cookie categories

There are four main categories:

Strictly necessary — without them the site doesn't work (e.g. technical session cookies). No consent required.
Functional — remember your choices (e.g. interface language). Improve usability.
Analytics — help understand how visitors use the site (how many views, where traffic comes from). Anonymous, not linked to identity.
Marketing / advertising — track behavior across sites to show personalized ads. Require explicit consent.

3. What we use NOW

The site uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies:

atman_consent (strictly necessary, up to 12 months) — stores your choice in the consent banner (accepted or declined advertising cookies) so we don't ask again.
atman_lang_picked (functional, up to 12 months) — remembers your selected interface language (Russian, Ukrainian, English).
_fbp, _fbc (Meta) (marketing, up to 90 days) — Meta Pixel: measuring ad performance and retargeting. Set only after your consent in the banner.
Plausible Analytics — anonymous, cookieless web analytics. Does not track you across sites. More at plausible.io.
Server logs (IP, time, page) — on the hosting side (Vercel), kept for 30 days for security.

We do not use Google Analytics, fingerprinting, or any advertising cookies without your consent.

4. Advertising and consent

For paid promotion we use technologies for measuring and optimizing ads:

Meta Pixel (marketing category) — sends Meta data about your actions on the site to measure ad performance and for retargeting. Works only after your consent.
Server-side Conversions API (CAPI) — server-side delivery of events to Meta, with email hashed. A more private option that also requires consent.
Google Ads Conversion Pixel (if we launch Google Ads) — similar, for Google. Not used yet.

Marketing cookies are set only after your consent in the banner, where you can accept, decline, or configure categories. Without consent, they are not loaded.

5. Third-party services and their cookies

When you follow links from our site to third-party resources (e.g. Stanislav Donets's LinkedIn profile, provider policies), those sites may set their own cookies per their policies.

We don't control third-party cookies. Review their policies:

6. How to manage cookies

You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Usually in «Settings» → «Privacy» → «Cookies».

To change your advertising-cookie consent — open the consent banner on the site and choose again. To delete our cookies manually — in DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → atmanapp.eu → delete the ones you want.

If you disable all cookies — most sites will work partially or with errors. Our site will continue to work (we don't depend on cookies for basic functionality), but you'll see the consent banner again.

7. Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw consent for advertising cookies at any time:

Through the consent banner on the site (reopen it and change your choice).
Through your browser settings.
By writing to stanislav@atmanapp.eu.

Withdrawing consent doesn't affect the legality of processing that took place before withdrawal.

8. Changes to this policy

We will update this page when the set of cookies in use changes — especially before launching marketing ads. The last update date is shown at the top of this document.
