1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored by the browser on a User's device. The labugen.com service uses cookies and similar technologies (the browser's local storage) as described below. Their use is governed by Article 399 of the Polish Electronic Communications Law of 12 July 2024.
2. Cookies We Use
- Essential—these operate without consent because the service cannot function without them: the logged-in Parent, Teacher, or student session (mg_session) and the selected child profile (mg_profile), the return address after login (mg_dalej, 30 minutes), PDF material downloads (mg_pdf), the editorial team session (payload-token), the saved language choice (labugen_locale), a record of your consent decision (labugen_zgoda and FCCDCF—the Google consent window cookie, for up to 13 months), and the Cloudflare attack protection cookie (cf_clearance—set only when suspicious traffic is detected). They remain active until the end of the session or for up to 12 months, unless otherwise stated.
- Functional (browser local storage): game and Learning Zone settings, such as the selected character or level; these do not leave the device.
- Analytics: Google Analytics 4—only after consent is given, using _ga and _ga_* cookies (for up to 2 years) to measure visits and events, such as file downloads. Outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we do not collect statistics at all, because the service is intended for children.
- Advertising: Google AdSense. The Google script loads from your first visit because it displays the consent window; before you make your decision, it stores only a cookie recording your choice. Google cookies (from domains including google.com, doubleclick.net, and googlesyndication.com, such as __gads, __gpi, __eoi, and IDE) are used to display ads, limit how often they are shown, measure performance, and detect abuse. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, no ads are displayed without consent. We display only non-personalised ads, and on children's pages they are additionally designated as child-directed; outside these areas, ads are contextual.
3. Cookies From Third-Party Advertising Providers
- Third-party providers, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to our website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our website or other websites on the internet.
- Users can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, as well as at www.aboutads.info and www.youronlinechoices.eu.
- For more information about how Google processes data in connection with advertising, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
4. Giving and Changing Consent
On your first visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we display the Google consent window (a certified consent management platform compliant with the IAB TCF standard) or, if it does not appear, our own consent banner, which asks only about analytics cookies; ads are not displayed without consent given in the Google consent window. We activate analytics and advertising cookies only after consent is given; until then, Google tools operate under Consent Mode v2 with consent denied by default. We store your decision in the labugen_zgoda cookie for 12 months. You can change or withdraw it at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer or through your browser settings (deleting or blocking essential cookies may limit the service's functionality).
5. Children's Area
In the Learning Zone (addresses beginning with /app), we do not use analytics or advertising cookies—only cookies essential for signing in and local storage for game settings operate there.
