1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to the site owners.

Beyond cookies, we may use similar technologies: localStorage, sessionStorage, pixel tags and web beacons. For simplicity we call them all “cookies” in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

magmi.org uses cookies only to make the site function correctly and to understand aggregate traffic. We do NOT use cookies for advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking.

3. Categories of cookies

3.1 Strictly necessary (always on)

These cookies are essential for the site to work. They cannot be switched off.

• magmi_session — session identifier (expires at end of session, HttpOnly)
• magmi_csrf — CSRF-attack protection (session, HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict)
• magmi_consent — stores your cookie preferences (12 months)
• wordpress_logged_in_* — WordPress authentication for registered users

3.2 Analytics (optional, consent required)

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies by default but does leave an entry in localStorage when enabled.

• plausible_ignore — localStorage flag that excludes your visits from statistics (persistent, until cleared)

Plausible does not use fingerprinting, does not collect IP addresses in raw form (anonymised to /24) and does not share data with third parties.

3.3 Functional (optional)

• magmi_theme — remembers whether you chose light or dark theme (12 months)
• magmi_lang — remembers your language preference (12 months)
• magmi_recently_viewed — remembers articles you have read (3 months)

3.4 Marketing cookies

We do NOT use marketing cookies. We do not run display advertising, remarketing or affiliate tracking.

4. Managing your consent

When you first visit the site, a cookie banner (CookieYes) asks for your consent for the optional categories. You can accept all, decline all or customise your choices.

You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

5. How to disable cookies in the browser

You can refuse all cookies in your browser settings. Note that doing so will break the “stay logged in” feature and may affect site performance.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies

6. Legal basis

Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). Optional cookies are set only after obtaining your explicit consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a), ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3)).

7. Updates

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page shows the most recent revision.
