heyImade Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026. Version 1.0.
In short
heyImade uses only cookies that are needed for the site to work. No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no tracking. That is why you do not see a cookie banner. If you only browse, we set no cookies at all.
Strictly necessary cookies do not need consent under EU law (ePrivacy Directive, art. 5(3)) and, in Poland, art. 399 of the Electronic Communications Law (Prawo komunikacji elektronicznej).
Cookies we use
| Name | What it does | When it is set | How long | Whose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
hm_s | Keeps you signed in and protects forms (CSRF) | When you start signing in | Until you sign out, at most 30 days | heyImade |
hm_adult | Remembers that you confirmed you are 18+ for the adults-only section (stores only "yes") | When you confirm the 18+ question | 30 days | heyImade |
hm_preview | Access to a preview of unpublished parts of the site | Only for the site operator | up to 30 days | heyImade |
kt_owner | Excludes the operator's own visits from statistics | Only for the site operator | up to 12 months | heyImade |
All our cookies are first-party, HttpOnly (not readable by scripts) and sent only over HTTPS.
Counters without cookies
Visitor counters and the badges makers put on their websites work without cookies and without storing IP addresses. See the Privacy Policy, section 6.
Google sign-in
When you click "Sign in with Google", you go to Google's own page (accounts.google.com). Google may use its own cookies there under its own policy. We do not place Google cookies on heyimade.com.
Embedded content and fonts
We do not embed videos, social media widgets or third-party trackers. Fonts are served from our own server — your browser does not connect to Google Fonts.
How to control cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block hm_s, you cannot sign in; browsing still works. If you block hm_adult, you will be asked the 18+ question each time.
If we add ads in the future
At the moment there are no ads on heyImade. If we decide to show ads (for example Google AdSense) in the future:
- we will update this policy before ads appear;
- we will use a certified consent management platform (compliant with the IAB TCF framework);
- advertising and measurement cookies will be set only after you agree, and you can refuse as easily as you accept;
- a small "Cookie settings" link will let you change your choice at any time, without covering the content;
- no ads in forms, in the maker dashboard, or in the adults-only section.
