Types of Cookies We Use

Managing Your Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings accessible via the banner at the bottom of the page. You can also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, though this may affect website functionality.

When you reject analytics or marketing cookies, the corresponding Google scripts are not loaded at all — no tracking code runs and no third-party cookies are set on your device.

We use the following Google services, each only activated with your explicit consent:

Google Analytics 4

When you consent to analytics cookies, we load Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized usage data. GA4 uses first-party cookies to distinguish users and sessions. We have configured GA4 with IP anonymization enabled. Data is processed by Google LLC. You can learn more at Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Ads & Conversion Tracking

When you consent to marketing cookies, we load Google Ads scripts for conversion tracking and remarketing. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Google may use this data to show you personalized ads on other websites. You can opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings.

Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor and optimize our website's presence in Google search results. Search Console does not set any cookies on your device — it is a server-side tool that uses a verification meta tag in our page's HTML.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with:

• Google LLC: When you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, anonymized usage data and advertising identifiers are processed by Google.
• Stripe Inc.:Payment data is processed by Stripe when you book a consultation. Stripe's checkout page sets its own cookies on stripe.com.
• Hosting Providers: Our website is hosted on Vercel, which may process server logs containing IP addresses.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following data protection rights:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at mentoring@annaobolenska.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

• Cookie consent preferences: stored in your browser until you clear them or we update the consent version
• Google Analytics data: retained for 14 months (configurable in GA4 settings)
• Booking and payment records: retained as required by applicable financial regulations

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit
• Secure hosting with reputable providers
• Regular security audits and updates
• Access controls and authentication for data access

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EEA, including the United States (Google LLC, Stripe Inc., Vercel Inc.). When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your data in accordance with the GDPR.

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 16, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If we make material changes, we may re-prompt you for cookie consent.
