COOKIE POLICY
What cookies are
A cookie is a small file your browser keeps when you visit a website. Some are needed for the site to work. Others count visits or help me measure ads, and those only run if you say yes. This page lists every cookie mikssels.com can set, who sets it and how long it stays. It belongs with my Privacy Policy, which explains everything else I do with your data.
Your choice
On your first visit a banner asks you to Accept, Deny or choose your preferences. Nothing beyond the functional cookies runs until you choose. You can change your mind at any time with “Manage consent” at the bottom of every page, and you can also delete cookies in your browser settings.
Functional cookies (always on)
These keep the site working and remember your choices. They don’t track you and they aren’t shared.

Embedded content (only if you allow it)
If a page shows a video, post or map from another service, it stays blocked until you allow it, because those services set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.
