This Cookie Policy explains how yoshovski.com uses cookies and similar technologies (such
as browser localStorage) and how you can control them. It complements the
Privacy Policy.
How consent works (by region)
How the banner behaves depends on where you are, detected from your IP via Cloudflare:
- EU / EEA / UK: on your first visit a consent banner asks you to opt in. Analytics and marketing tags are governed by Google Consent Mode v2 and default to denied until you accept. You can accept all, reject all, or save preferences by category, and change your choice any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer.
- Elsewhere (e.g. the US): an opt-out model applies — analytics may run by default and no banner is shown. You can still open “Cookie preferences” in the footer to opt out.
Categories
Necessary & functional (always on)
Required for the Site to work and to remember your choices. These do not need consent.
theme— remembers your light/dark preference (localStorage).consent— remembers your cookie choices (localStorage).- Security/delivery cookies set by Cloudflare to keep the Site available and secure.
- Live chat (Chatwoot) — the chat widget and its cookies/storage are treated as a functional tool that lets you message me, and load on every page. If you prefer not to use it, simply don’t open the chat; you can also block its cookies in your browser.
Analytics (consent in the EU/EEA/UK)
Help me understand how the Site is used so I can improve it.
- Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics — pseudonymous usage and device data. In the EU/EEA/UK these load only after you accept analytics.
Managing or withdrawing consent
- Use “Cookie preferences” in the footer to review or change categories at any time.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features (like live chat) may then not work.
Changes
I may update this policy as the tools used on the Site change. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
