This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Viliam Melúch uses, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit - such as your language preferences or cookie consent choices - and help us understand how the site is used.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They cannot be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice and ensure the site loads properly.

Analytics Cookies

If you consent, we use Google Analytics to collect anonymised information about how visitors interact with the site (pages visited, time spent, traffic sources). This helps us improve the site. Analytics cookies are only set after you grant analytics_storage consent via the cookie banner.

Marketing Cookies

If you consent, Google Ads may set cookies to track conversions from advertisements and to show you relevant ads on other websites (remarketing). Marketing cookies require ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization consent. All are denied by default until you accept.

3. Third-Party Cookies

This site uses the following third-party cookie services:

• Google Analytics - cookies: _ga, _gid, _gat. Purpose: anonymised usage analysis. Retention: up to 26 months.
• Google Ads - cookies: _gcl_au, _gcl_aw. Purpose: conversion tracking and remarketing. Consent signals: ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization.
• Google Maps - may set third-party cookies when the embedded map on our Contact page is loaded. Purpose: map functionality.

4. Consent Mode v2

This site implements Google Consent Mode v2. All non-essential storage signals (analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, personalization_storage) are set to denied by default when you first visit. They are only upgraded to granted if you click "Accept All" or save preferences with the relevant toggles enabled. URL passthrough and ads data redaction are active by default.

5. Managing Your Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the cookie banner at the bottom of this page. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. Removing all cookies will reset your consent preference and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
