This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Gayoki Fobiya uses on gayoki-fobiya.info, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy at privacy.html. We are committed to transparency about how this site operates technically and how that affects your browsing experience.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, display settings, or whether you have accepted cookie preferences. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot install software on your device. They are a standard web technology used by virtually all websites.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these related technologies unless otherwise specified.
We use a limited set of cookies, organized into the categories below.
gfy_consent
Essential
Stores your cookie preference choices so you are not asked again on every visit.

Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. Only set if analytics cookies are accepted.

Google Analytics — maintains session state for analytics purposes. Only set if analytics cookies are accepted.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels for ad networks, or any cookies that share your data with third-party advertising platforms. The analytics cookies above are only set if you explicitly accept analytics cookies through our cookie preference interface.
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as remembering your cookie preferences and supporting basic navigation. Without these cookies, features you request — such as storing your preference not to be shown the cookie preference prompt again — cannot function. Under US law and standard industry practice, essential cookies do not require consent because they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you request. You can disable them through your browser settings, but doing so may affect site functionality.
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use this site — which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and how they arrived at the site. This information is used in aggregate form to improve the site's content and structure. It is not used to identify individual visitors. These cookies are only placed on your device if you choose to accept them through the cookie preference interface. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Cookie preferences" in the bottom-left corner of any page.
We use Google Analytics to process analytics data. Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC, which is subject to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and processes data according to Google's own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses where technically available.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the following options:
Through our cookie interface. Click the "Cookie preferences" link in the bottom-left corner of any page on this site. A modal will open where you can review and change your consent choices for each cookie category. Changes take effect immediately and are stored in the gfy_consent cookie.
Through your browser. All major browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or to notify you when a cookie is being set. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
Note that blocking all cookies through your browser will prevent the site from storing your cookie preference, which means the preference prompt may appear on each visit.
Opt-out tools. For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to any website.
In the United States, there is no single federal law mandating cookie consent in the manner required by EU law. However, several state laws and industry standards are relevant:
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give California residents rights regarding the collection of personal data, including data collected through analytics cookies. We honor these rights as described in our Privacy Policy.
We provide a cookie consent mechanism not because it is universally required under US law, but because we believe transparency about data collection is appropriate practice regardless of legal mandate. Our approach aligns with the Federal Trade Commission's guidance on transparency and consumer notice.
If you have questions about our use of cookies or wish to exercise any rights related to data collected through cookies, contact us at [email protected].
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically as the cookies we use change or as relevant regulations evolve. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally. If we add new cookie categories or materially change our practices, we will update the cookie preference interface to allow you to make informed choices about the new categories.
