This Cookie Policy explains how Mike Odnis ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at wombo-comb0-portfolio.vercel.app. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics and other purposes.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:
We use Firebase to authenticate users for the Guestbook feature. Firebase sets cookies to manage your login session securely. Without these, you would not be able to sign in.
We use a csrfToken cookie as part of our security measures to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks when you submit forms, like signing the guestbook.
We use a cookie (typically named theme) to remember your preferred theme (light or dark mode) across visits.
We use Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Website. This helps us understand traffic patterns and improve the site. Google Analytics may set cookies like _ga and _gid to distinguish users.
As part of our hosting, Vercel collects analytics data to provide insights into website traffic and performance. Vercel's analytics are designed to be privacy-friendly and do not use cookies for tracking visitors. Instead, they use a hash created from the incoming request.
This service helps us monitor and improve the performance of our website by collecting Core Web Vitals. It does not rely on traditional tracking cookies.
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by setting or amending your web browser controls.
Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Note: If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. For example, you will not be able to sign the guestbook.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
