Cookie Policy

Version 2026-06-10 · effective from 2026-06-10

Essential cookies only make the Store work (sign-in, cart, currency). Analytics tools (Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity) and marketing tools (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel) run only after your consent. You can manage your choices anytime via the cookie banner at the bottom of the page or in your browser settings.

§1

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser while using the Store. Their use is governed by Polish Telecommunications Act art. 173 and ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC art. 5(3) read with GDPR.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. All other categories (analytical, marketing, functional) require your explicit consent.

§2

Category	Purpose	Legal basis	Consent
Essential	Sign-in, session, CSRF protection, currency preference	PT art. 173(3) (consent exemption)	not required
Functional	UI preferences (e.g. language)	GDPR art. 6(1)(a) + PT art. 173	required
Analytics	Traffic statistics, conversion paths, session recordings (Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity)	GDPR art. 6(1)(a) + PT art. 173	required
Marketing	Remarketing, ad measurement (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel)	GDPR art. 6(1)(a) + PT art. 173	required

Specific cookies in use

Name	Purpose	Lifetime	Issuer
`academy-token`	Signed-in session (JWT, httpOnly)	24 hours	Space Ads
`academy-currency`	Selected currency on the international market	365 days	Space Ads

The list may also include technical variants set by the same tools. None of the above is stored before you consent via the banner.

The Google tag (gtag.js) runs in Consent Mode v2 — until you consent it sets no cookies and builds no profile; only cookieless technical signals ("cookieless pings") used for aggregate modelling may reach Google. Meta, TikTok and Clarity scripts are not loaded at all before consent.

§4

Managing your consent

On first visit a banner asks for your consent — accept all, reject all non-essential, or pick categories. Your choice is stored in browser storage (localStorage key cookie_consent_preferences) for 365 days and can be revisited via the "Cookie settings" link in the Store footer. When this policy changes (e.g. a new tool is added) we ask for consent again. Withdrawing consent stops further collection by the given tool. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings:

Disabling essential cookies will break the Store (you won't be able to sign in or complete a purchase).

§5

Third-party cookies

With your consent, usage data is shared with our analytics and advertising providers. Transfers outside the EEA rely on adequacy decisions (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) or Standard Contractual Clauses. Details in their privacy policies:

After redirect to the payment operator (Stripe), that party may set its own cookies:

§6

Changes to this policy

Updated when laws or our cookies change. Material changes are announced via the cookie banner and the Store footer.
