What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information — such as whether you’ve accepted the cookie banner — across multiple visits or page loads.

Cookies are not programs, cannot carry viruses, and cannot access other files on your device.

Cookies we use

We use three categories of cookies. Below is a full list of what is placed on your device and why:

Cookie name	Category	Purpose	Expires
cmplz_*	Strictly necessary	Stores your cookie consent preferences (set by Complianz plugin). Required to remember your choice and avoid showing the banner on every page.	1 year

_gid	Analytics	Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour period.	24hours

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or any cookies that follow you across other websites.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information. They are set in response to actions you take — such as choosing your cookie preferences — and are never used to track you.

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use BucharestWithKids.com — which articles are most read, where visitors come from, and how they navigate the site. This helps us improve the content and make the site more useful.

Analytics cookies are only placed after you give consent via the cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics data is collected. Google Analytics is configured with:

— IP anonymisation enabled (your full IP address is never stored)
— Data sharing with Google disabled
— Consent Mode v2 active (no data collected before consent)

Third-party cookies from affiliate links

When you click on affiliate links to external sites such as Booking.com, GetYourGuide, or Amazon, those sites may set their own cookies according to their own policies. We have no control over third-party cookies. We recommend reading the privacy and cookie policies of any external site before making a purchase.
