What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to improve your browsing experience.
Types of cookies used
Technical Cookies (necessary)
These cookies are essential for the operation of the site:
- PHPSESSID – PHP session cookie for authentication. Duration: end of browser session.
- waw_lang – stores the language you chose, so you do not have to pick it again. Duration: 1 year.
Browser local storage
These are not cookies and are never sent to any server: they stay on your device and remember two preferences.
- aw_cookie_consent – stores your choice on this banner, so you are not asked again on every page.
- darkMode – stores whether you prefer the light or dark theme.
Analytics Cookies (third party)
We use Google Analytics 4 to analyse site traffic in aggregate and anonymous form:
- _ga, _ga_* – Google Analytics cookie to distinguish unique users. Duration: 2 years.
Third-party services
- Google Maps – winery pages and region pages embed a Google Maps map. When you open those pages, Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies.
Your consent
On your first visit you can accept or decline analytics cookies. The choice is not final: the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page reopens the banner whenever you want.
