Cookies
One analytics cookie, and only if you say yes. Here is the whole list, what each thing does, and how to change your answer.

What this site stores in your browser
| What | Type | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga and _ga_LWS1Y3KNW5 | Cookies, set by Google Analytics, only after you allow them | A random identifier so a return visit is not counted as a new person | Two years |
koloshare-consent | Local storage, not a cookie | Remembers your answer to the cookie question so you are asked once per browser | Until you clear your browser data |
koloshare-theme | Local storage, not a cookie | Remembers whether you chose light or dark, so the site does not flip back on every page | Until you clear your browser data |
That is the complete list. The two local storage entries never leave your browser and hold one word each.
Before you answer
Until you allow the cookie, Google Analytics runs with consent denied for every category. In that mode it sends a cookieless ping that says a page was viewed and nothing about who viewed it. Your browser also fetches the Analytics script from Google, so Google sees your IP address as part of that request, the same as it does for the fonts.
Changing your answer
Saying no after saying yes removes the two cookies straight away. Clearing your site data has the same effect and also forgets your answer and your theme.
Third parties
- Google Analytics counts visits, cookieless until you allow the cookie, as described above.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces. Your browser requests them from Google, which means Google sees your IP address as part of the request. No cookie is set by that.
- Freemius handles checkout, but only once you go to buy something. Cookies there are theirs and covered by their policy.
Cookies inside the plugin
This is a different thing, on your own website rather than ours. The Koloshare plugin uses standard WordPress login cookies so staff stay signed in, plus an optional long-lived one for the "keep me signed in" tick box, and a small non-secret marker that helps a cached page notice it is being served to someone already signed in.
Those are functional cookies on your site, set by your installation, and they never reach us. If you run a public website with its own cookie notice, mention them there alongside your other functional cookies.
Turning things off
Any content blocker will stop the analytics pings and the font requests. The site works without either, so nothing breaks.
