1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and improve your experience. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookie Consent
When you first visit OKDrive.pl, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page. You can choose to:

You can change your preferences at any time from your account settings page (for logged-in users) or by clearing your browser's local storage.
We use Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure that all Google services (Analytics, AdSense) respect your consent choice. By default, all analytics and advertising storage is denied until you explicitly grant consent.
