1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in the user's browser. They let the site remember a user's choice between visits.
2. Functional cookies
Files without which the website cannot remember a visitor's choice:
- the chosen colour theme: light or dark;
- the chosen language version of the site.
3. Analytics cookies
To assess demand for its content the website loads the Yandex Metrica web analytics service, counter No. 113425186. The service stores its own cookies in the browser:
- _ym_uid: visitor identifier;
- _ym_d: date of the first visit;
- _ym_isad: whether an ad blocker is in use;
- service files that record activity on the page.
4. What data the web analytics service receives
The service receives the IP address, information about the browser and device, the page address and the referral source. Session recording (Webvisor) is enabled: it stores cursor movements, clicks, scrolling and the content of the pages viewed. The exact scope of data and the retention periods of the files are set out in the service's documentation. The data collected is used for visit statistics and to improve the website.
5. Advertising and profiling
The website does not use advertising cookies, does not show personalised advertising and does not share visitor identifiers with advertising networks.
6. How to opt out
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can block the counter with an ad blocker. If functional cookies are disabled the website will keep working, but your theme and language choice will not be remembered between visits. If analytics cookies are disabled, visit statistics are not collected.
7. Relation to personal data
Functional cookies do not identify a visitor. The technical data processed by the web analytics service, including cookie identifiers and the IP address, is treated by the Operator as personal data and processed under the Personal Data Processing Policy.
