Consent management
A self-hosted cookie-settings panel is used to manage consent. The panel does not send consent choices to an external consent provider. The current choice is stored in the first-party emel_cookie_consent cookie.
You may:
- accept all non-essential categories;
- reject all non-essential categories;
- choose categories;
- change your choice later through Cookie settings in the footer.
Categories
Essential
Required for requested services, including:
- website and session security;
- the cart and online ordering process on the Polish storefront;
- consent preference storage;
- payment and delivery functions when used;
- form protection.
They operate without consent only to the extent legally necessary.
Analytics
Google Analytics 4 may be loaded through Google Tag Manager only after analytics consent.
We use Basic Consent Mode, so analytics tags are blocked before consent.
External media
YouTube videos are click-to-load. The player is loaded after user action and uses youtube-nocookie.com where possible.
No advertising or remarketing cookies are used at launch, and no marketing category is displayed in the consent panel. If such technologies are introduced later, they will require separate consent and this Policy will be updated.
Online payment and delivery services
ING Pay and Furgonetka may use technologies needed for payment security, shipping options and pickup-point selection. Optional analytics by those providers is not automatically treated as essential.
During the 20 July 2026 audit, opening the Furgonetka pickup-point selector did not create an additional cookie, localStorage entry, IndexedDB database or service worker. External map resources were requested only after the selector was deliberately opened.
Cookie list
Cookie table verified on: 2026-07-20.
The Cookie settings panel shows the active categories and their assigned services. The table below lists cookies observed during the technical audit of the Astro pages and the WooCommerce cart and checkout flow.
Strictly necessary
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
emel_cookie_consent |
emel.tech | Stores the selected consent categories and services. | Strictly necessary | 180 days |
woocommerce_cart_hash |
emel.tech / WooCommerce | Detects changes to cart contents. | Strictly necessary | Browser session |
woocommerce_items_in_cart |
emel.tech / WooCommerce | Records that the cart contains products. | Strictly necessary | Browser session |
wp_woocommerce_session_* |

|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
emel.tech / Google Analytics | Distinguishes browsers for GA4 statistics after consent. | Analytics | Up to 400 days |
_ga_BGPTFSQN2F |
emel.tech / Google Analytics | Maintains session state for the configured GA4 service after consent. | Analytics | Up to 400 days |
External media
During the audit, loading the embedded player from youtube-nocookie.com did not create a cookie or localStorage entry. No unobserved cookie names are therefore listed in this category. Further processing after playback starts is controlled by YouTube and may change on the provider’s side.
Other browser storage
On cart and checkout pages, WordPress stored the wpEmojiSettingsSupports sessionStorage key solely to detect browser emoji support. No site-owned localStorage entries, IndexedDB databases or service workers were observed.
The first-party newsletter form sends data to the newsletter provider server-side. It does not embed an external EmailOctopus form or script and does not introduce a separate browser-cookie category for that integration.
The list is updated when the configuration of the online ordering system, ING Pay, Furgonetka, the newsletter form, GA4/GTM, YouTube or other website services changes.
The consent choice is stored in the first-party emel_cookie_consent cookie for up to 180 days. It does not contain a name, email address, IP address or another direct user identifier. The current MVP does not send choices to a separate server-side consent log.
Browser settings
You may also delete or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect the cart, online ordering process or forms.
Legal basis
Essential technologies are used under applicable electronic communications law and the appropriate GDPR basis. Other categories require consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and applicable cookies law.
Changes
The Policy may be updated if technologies, providers or law change.
