Cookie Policy
This page explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on liviubucel.com, an independent personal cybersecurity website, and how you can control optional categories. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies do
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Similar technologies may remember choices or allow a service to recognise a visitor’s session. Some are needed to deliver pages or protect against abuse; others provide analytics or advertising and require a separate choice.
This website is hosted through a managed infrastructure that can set necessary cookies for security, routing and session integrity even when you reject optional categories. Refusing optional cookies does not prevent access to public articles or the portfolio.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
Essential technology supports secure website delivery, anti-abuse checks, session management, consent preferences and the operation of requested features. It is enabled regardless of optional selections because the website or the requested feature may not function properly without it.
- Cloudflare security cookies such as __cf_bm can distinguish automated requests and protect site availability. The precise expiry depends on the security service configuration; it is commonly short-lived.
- Technical session or infrastructure cookies may be used by Wix hosting and site features. Their exact names and expiry periods can change as the platform evolves.
- Consent-policy storage is used to remember your selection and apply it on later visits; this is necessary to respect your preference.
3. Optional categories
Functional: optional features that remember more personalisation choices or support non-essential integrations.
Analytics: measurement of visits and how people use published content. Services such as Wix Analytics may operate only after analytics permission is granted.
Advertising: advertising measurement and personalised promotion, where enabled in future. Discussing AdSense or other advertising does not mean it is currently active.
Data sharing with third parties: permission for additional transfers or integrations where this is applicable. This control is distinct from the essential technical processing needed for hosting and security.
4. Consent and preference controls
On a first visit, optional categories are disabled by default. You can accept all, reject all or select categories individually from the banner. Essential cookies cannot be disabled from this interface.
Use the Cookie preferences control in the footer whenever you want to review or change your choice. Preferences are applied through the hosting platform’s consent-policy service. Some changes need a page reload to take effect. Browser controls can also delete cookies, but removing consent cookies may cause the banner to reappear.
5. Providers, durations and changes
The site uses Wix-managed hosting services and Cloudflare network protection. Embedded third-party media or future analytics/advertising services may set their own cookies only where permitted by the selected category and integration. Links to external websites are subject to those sites’ separate policies.
Cookie names and durations vary by provider and release. The identifiable essential cookies observed on this domain during a technical check included sec-fetch-unsupported (session handling) and __cf_bm (bot protection); additional browser-side or feature-specific cookies can vary. For a complete current list in your browser, use its site-data or developer tools.
We review this policy when adding integrations or changing tracking purposes. The presence of a consent banner alone does not guarantee that every independent third-party script is blocked; integrations must be audited and categorised before enabling them.
6. Privacy rights and contact
For information on the personal data associated with website visits, international processing, retention criteria and privacy rights, see the Privacy Policy. Questions about cookies or consent can be sent to contact@liviubucel.com.
