01What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It holds technical information — for example, which language you chose, or whether you agreed to analytics. Cookies contain no viruses and, on their own, do not identify you personally.
We may also use similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage where the interface needs them. Everything below applies to those as well.
02Cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Retention | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
site_lang |
Remembers the language version you selected (Russian or English) so the right one opens on your next visit. The default language is Russian. | 12 months | Essential |
cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie choice ("accept all" or "essential only") so the banner does not reappear on every visit. | 12 months | Essential |
There are currently no analytics or marketing cookies on this site. If we add web analytics (for example Google Analytics) or advertising pixels, they will load only after you choose "Accept all", and this table will be updated accordingly.
03Third-party services
Some page assets are loaded from external services. They do not set tracking cookies, but they do receive your IP address when the page loads — a technical requirement of any CDN:
- Google Fonts — the Manrope and Unbounded typefaces;
- jsDelivr — the Lucide icon library;
- Vercel — website hosting and server-side handling of your enquiry;
- Telegram — if you follow a link to our chat or channel, Telegram's own policy applies from that point on.
04How to manage cookies
On your first visit the site shows a banner with two equally prominent options: "Accept all" and "Essential only". Refusing is exactly as easy as agreeing — no pre-ticked boxes, no dark patterns.
You can change your mind at any time: click "Cookie settings" and the banner will open again. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings (usually under "Privacy" or "Site data"). Please note that if you block essential cookies, the site will no longer remember your language and the banner will appear on every visit.
05Updates to this policy
We update this policy whenever the set of cookies or the services we use changes. The current version is always published on this page together with the date it was last updated. The Russian version of this document is available here.
