Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how azta journal uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It applies to the public reading experience only; the azta product platform has a separate policy.

The data controller is Phantic Kft. (registered seat: 6722 Szeged, Hajnóczy utca 18. fszt. 1., Hungary; company registration number 06-09-030619; tax number 32861196-2-06). You can reach us at info@phantic.io.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences and help the operator understand how the site is used. We also treat comparable technologies (such as local storage) as cookies for the purposes of this policy.

Cookies we use

We keep cookie use to a minimum. Strictly necessary cookies are always active; analytics cookies are only set after you consent.

We also use Vercel Speed Insights to measure page performance (Core Web Vitals). It collects aggregate performance data without storing cookies on your device.

Consent and Google Consent Mode

When you first visit, analytics storage is disabled by default using Google Consent Mode v2. Google Analytics only sets cookies and collects identifiable measurement data after you select “Accept” in the cookie banner. If you select “Reject”, no analytics cookies are set.

You can change your decision at any time by selecting “Cookie settings” in the footer, which re-opens the banner.

Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works (for example, remembering your language). Browser vendors provide detailed instructions in their help pages.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices or the law. Material changes will be announced on this page with a new effective date. For any question about cookies, contact us at info@phantic.io.
