This policy describes the cookies and similar technologies (such as the browser’s local storage) used by aslet.net, what they are for, and how you can manage your consent. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage (localStorage), work in a comparable way. They are used to make the site work, to remember your choices or, only with your consent, for statistics and advertising. “First-party” cookies are stored by the aslet.net domain; some of them are created by third-party tools (Google, Microsoft) running on our site.
2. When we ask for consent
In line with Art. 4a of the Bulgarian Electronic Commerce Act and Regulation (EU) 2016/679, we store or read information on your device without consent only where this is strictly necessary for the service you are using. For all other technologies, analytics and marketing, we ask for your prior consent. Until you give it, they are not loaded.
On your first visit you will see a message with “Accept All”, “Reject All” and “Customize” buttons. Continuing to browse, scrolling or closing the page are not treated as consent.
3. Necessary cookies and storage
These are needed for the site to work and to remember choices you have explicitly made. They cannot be switched off in the settings, but you can delete them in your browser.
| Name | Type | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
aslet_consent | Cookie (first-party) | ASLET | 6 months | Stores your cookie choices (categories, date and policy version). |
NEXT_LOCALE | Cookie (first-party) | ASLET | 1 year | Remembers the website language (Bulgarian or English). |

promo-bar-dismissed | Local storage (first-party) | ASLET | Until cleared in the browser | Remembers that you closed the promotional banner at the top of the site. |
4. Analytics cookies (only with consent)
Used by Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, loaded through Google Tag Manager, for visit statistics and analysis of how the site is used, including session recordings. Google Tag Manager is loaded only after you allow this category.
| Name | Type | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Cookie (first-party) | Google Analytics | Up to 2 years (some browsers cap it at about 13 months) | Distinguishes visitors for website usage statistics. |
_ga_W408YCZ1B6 | Cookie (first-party) | Google Analytics | Up to 2 years (some browsers cap it at about 13 months) | Keeps session state for website usage statistics. |
_clck | Cookie (first-party) | Microsoft Clarity | 1 year | Stores a visitor identifier for analysing how the site is used. |
_clsk | Cookie (first-party) | Microsoft Clarity | 1 day (per Microsoft) | Connects page views into a single session. |
MUID | Cookie (third-party) | Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms) | About 13 months | Microsoft identifier used by Clarity to recognise the browser across visits to sites that use Clarity. |
MR | Cookie (third-party) | Microsoft Clarity (c.clarity.ms) | 7 days | Indicates whether the MUID identifier should be refreshed. |
SM | Cookie (third-party) | Microsoft Clarity (c.clarity.ms) | Until the browser is closed | Used by Microsoft to synchronise the MUID identifier across Microsoft domains. |
ANONCHK | Cookie (third-party) | Microsoft Clarity (c.clarity.ms) | A few minutes | Microsoft technical cookie related to the MUID identifier. |
Entries marked “per Microsoft” follow the provider’s documentation. Providers may change the names and lifetimes of their cookies; we will update these tables when they do.
5. Marketing technologies (only with consent)
Google’s advertising features linked to Google Analytics (advertising audiences and ad measurement). Because they work through Google Analytics, allowing them also turns on analytics cookies. Without consent, advertising signals to Google are sent as denied.
| Name | Type | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_ls | Local storage (first-party) | Until cleared in the browser | Used by Google for advertising measurement (linking ad clicks and actions). |
6. How to change or withdraw your consent
You can review, change or withdraw your consent at any time via “Cookie Settings” at the bottom of every page or with the button below. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
When you withdraw consent, we delete these tools’ first-party cookies and storage entries from your browser and reload the page so that any tools already loaded stop running. Third-party cookies on Microsoft domains (clarity.ms) cannot be deleted by our site — you can remove them in your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect data collected before it, that data is kept by the providers for the periods set out in the Privacy Policy.
7. Browser settings
Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies and site data in their settings (usually under “Privacy and security”). If you block all cookies, the site will still work, but it will not be able to remember your choice and will ask for consent on every visit.
