1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Artur Kozhushnyi) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the tables below.
Essential / strictly necessary cookies
These storage entries are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Note: Statiso does not use HTTP-based authentication cookies. Authentication and preference data are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage (not as HTTP cookies), which means they are not automatically sent with every request and are accessible only by our own scripts running on statiso.io. Because these entries are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, they cannot be refused without impacting how our Website functions.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| token (localStorage) | statiso.io | Stores your JWT authentication token to keep you logged in between page visits. | 24 hours | First-party / essential |
| user_role (localStorage) | statiso.io | Stores your account role (e.g. admin) to control access to certain features without an additional server request. | Session / until logout | First-party / essential |
| statiso-theme (localStorage) | statiso.io | Remembers your preferred color theme (light or dark) so it is applied consistently across visits. | Persistent | First-party / functional |
| cookie_consent (localStorage) | statiso.io | Stores your cookie consent decision (which categories you have accepted or rejected) so you are not asked again on subsequent visits. | Persistent | First-party / essential |
| i18next / i18nextLng (localStorage) | statiso.io | Stores your selected interface language and caches translation strings so the page loads in your preferred language without an additional server request. | Persistent | First-party / functional |
| statiso_completed (localStorage) | statiso.io | Stores the slugs (identifiers) of surveys you have completed to display a "completed" checkmark on survey cards. Contains no personal information — only survey identifiers. | Persistent | First-party / functional |
| statiso_interp_* (sessionStorage) | statiso.io | Temporarily stores your personality test result axes so the detailed interpretation page can display them after navigation. Cleared automatically when the browser tab is closed. | Session | First-party / functional |
Analytics and customization cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website. | 2 years | Third-party / analytics |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Used by Google Analytics to collect data about how many times a user has visited the website. | 2 years | Third-party / analytics |
Advertising / targeting cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta / Facebook | Used by Facebook to deliver a series of advertisement products such as real time bidding from third party advertisers. | 3 months | Third-party / marketing |
3. How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Preference Center. The Cookie Preference Center allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.
The Cookie Preference Center can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
4. How can I control cookies on my browser?
The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser. You should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following links provide instructions for the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

5. What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
WebSocket connections. When you view a live poll result page, our Website establishes a persistent WebSocket connection to our servers to stream real-time vote updates. This connection does not set cookies or store data in your browser. If you are signed in, your session token (stored in localStorage as described above) is used to authenticate the connection. Closing the page terminates the connection immediately.
6. Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
7. Do you serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.
8. How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
