Cookie Policy
This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on selfdezign.ro.
Last updated: 24 October 2026
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. Local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) holds similar data, also in your browser. We use them to make the site work. Only with your consent do we also use them to measure traffic and campaigns.
What we use
The banner has two categories, chosen separately: statistics and marketing. Both start only with your consent. Strictly necessary items work without consent. Matomo counts visits without cookies, so it does not need consent.

Consent
The banner appears until you make a choice. In it you choose statistics and marketing separately. Each starts only after you press «Accept» or tick it under «Settings». Scrolling does NOT count as consent. Without a choice, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel do not load. You can change your choice at any time from the footer, under «Cookie settings».
Matomo, cookieless measurement
Matomo counts visits and pages read without setting cookies. The IP address is anonymised to 2 bytes. Raw data is kept for 13 months. The server is in the EU and SelfDezign runs it. The data does not go to third parties and is not combined with other data. The legal basis is legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, under the conditions in which the CNIL exempts this measurement from consent. You can turn Matomo off in this browser:
How to withdraw consent
From the footer, under «Cookie settings», or write to hello@selfdezign.ro. When you withdraw, we delete the statistics and marketing cookies.
How to disable cookies
You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that some site features may be affected.
