Google Analytics — only with your consent

If you accept cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate readership (pages read, approximate region, device type). Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), withdrawable at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer. IP anonymization is enabled. Data is processed by Google Ireland Ltd. and Google LLC (USA) under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. If you decline, no analytics runs at all.

Server logs and our own statistics — no cookies

Our server in the EU (Hetzner, Germany) records every request in a technical access log: IP address, time, requested address, response, referring page, browser user agent and preferred language. These logs are deleted automatically after 14 days.

From them we compile our own statistics: how many people read which pages, where they came from, and how much of our traffic comes from search engines, AI crawlers and other automated systems. Before anything is stored for statistics, the IP address is shortened to its network (the last part is removed) and used only to look up the network's operator and country — the full address is never stored. To count visitors per day without cookies, we compute a one-way code from the address, the browser user agent and a random value that changes every day; each day's value is deleted after 15 days, after which the codes cannot be linked to anyone. These statistical records are kept for 90 days; daily totals, which contain no personal data, are kept longer. Nothing is shared with anyone or used for advertising or profiling.

To tell people apart from automated traffic, our pages run a small script that reports the page address, the page you came from and how long the page was visible. Unless you accept analytics (below), it stores nothing on your device; it does not run at all if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.

Legal basis for the logs and the statistics: our legitimate interest in operating, securing and understanding this site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can object at any time (see "Your rights").

Detailed visit analytics — only with your consent

If you click Accept, the same script also keeps a random visitor ID in your browser's local storage (renewed after 13 months) and sends it with each page, so we can see an individual visit: the pages you read and in what order, how long you spent on each, how far you scrolled, which links to other sites you followed, where you came from, and whether you came back. With it we record your full IP address, your screen size and time zone, and your browser, device type and language. We use this only to understand how our readers use the site. It is not shared, sold or used for advertising, and we do not try to find out who you are. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and the ePrivacy rules on storing information on your device). These records are kept for 90 days.

You can withdraw consent at any time through "Cookie settings" in the footer; choosing Decline deletes the ID from your browser. To erase what we recorded under your ID, use the button below. (Our server's access logs are separate and are deleted after 14 days.)

Advertising

Pages reserve advertising slots. If an advertising network is enabled in the future, this page will be updated first and any consent it requires will be requested before it runs.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, object to legitimate-interest processing, and withdraw consent at any time — write to the address above. You may also complain to a supervisory authority: in Bulgaria, the Commission for Personal Data Protection (cpdp.bg), or the authority of your residence.

Cookies & storage

Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are set only after you click Accept and expire after at most 2 years. Your consent choice itself is kept in your browser's localStorage (strictly necessary, transmitted nowhere). Withdrawing consent stops analytics on future visits; cookies already set can be removed in your browser. Our own statistics use no cookies; only if you accept analytics do they keep one item in your browser's local storage (a_vid: a random ID and the date it was made, replaced after 13 months, deleted when you decline).
