Donshik.com uses a small number of cookies: some keep the site working, and others, only with your consent, help us understand how visitors use it.
Donshik.com is the personal and professional website of Adam Donshik. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies the site uses, why, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.
In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of donshik.com. “You” refers to anyone visiting the site.
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser so it can remember information between page views or visits.
The site may also use similar technologies, such as browser local storage, for the same purposes. This policy covers those too, and we refer to all of them as “cookies.”
We group cookies into the same four categories shown in the site’s cookie banner. Only necessary cookies load without your consent.
Category | What it does | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
Necessary | Keeps core features working: remembering your cookie choices, unlocking the password-protected portfolio, and site administration. | No. Always active. |
Functional | Supports optional features such as embedded third-party media or content sharing. | Yes |
Analytical | Measures visits, page views, and traffic sources so we can improve the site. We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager. | Yes |
Advertisement | Delivers or measures personalized ads. | Yes. We do not currently use advertising cookies. |
The table below lists the cookies donshik.com sets. Items marked [CONFIRM] must be checked against a live cookie scan before publishing.
Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
[CONFIRM: CookieAdmin consent cookie name] | donshik.com (CookieAdmin) | Necessary | Stores your cookie consent choices so the banner doesn’t reappear on every page. | [CONFIRM] |
wp-postpass_[hash] | donshik.com (WordPress) | Necessary | Remembers that you entered the correct password for protected content. [CONFIRM: portfolio login may use a different mechanism] | 10 days |
wordpress_test_cookie | donshik.com (WordPress) | Necessary | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies. | Session |

_ga | Google Analytics | Analytical | Distinguishes unique visitors. | 2 years |
ga[container-id] | Google Analytics | Analytical | Keeps track of the current visit (session state). | 2 years |
Google’s published durations are defaults and can be shortened in Google Analytics settings. Browsers may also cap them; for example, Safari limits some cookies to 7 days. Google Analytics durations are from Google’s GA4 cookie documentation.
Some services on the site connect your browser to other companies’ servers. Each handles data under its own privacy policy.
Service | What it does on donshik.com | Sets cookies here? |
|---|---|---|
Loads Google Analytics after you consent. | No, but it controls what analytics loads. | |
Measures site traffic. | Yes, with consent (see table above). | |
Google Fonts | Serves the site’s typefaces from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address. | Not expected. [CONFIRM] |
Jetpack image CDN (i0.wp.com) | Delivers optimized images from WordPress.com servers, which receive your IP address. | Not expected. [CONFIRM] |
MailPoet | Manages the newsletter if you choose to subscribe. | Not expected. [CONFIRM] |
External links. Links to PayPal, YouTube, Amazon, IMDb, and LinkedIn take you to those sites. Once you arrive, their own cookie policies apply. Donshik.com does not set cookies for them.
Embedded content. If a page embeds media from another site, such as a YouTube video, that embed behaves as if you visited the other site directly and may set its own cookies. The site’s demo reels are hosted on donshik.com itself.
You can accept, reject, or customize optional cookies at any time, and you can change your mind later.
Withdrawing consent stops new optional cookies from being set. Cookies already stored stay until they expire or you delete them in your browser.
We may update this policy when the site’s tools or the law change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
Questions about cookies or this policy can be sent to privacy@donshik.com.
