Use of cookies and similar technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar browser data storage technologies to ensure its operation, to save user settings and, where the user has given consent, to collect statistical information about visits to the Site.

Cookies are small pieces of data saved by the browser on the user’s device. They may be used, for example, to save the selected settings, to ensure the operation of individual functions of the Site and to remember the choice made by the user regarding the use of analytics technologies.

Cookies may be session cookies, which are stored only for the duration of the browser session, and persistent cookies, which are stored on the user’s device for a set period or until the user deletes them.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are used for the correct and secure operation of the Site and are not intended for collecting traffic statistics or for advertising profiling.

These include, in particular:

  • kudo_cookie_consent — stores the user’s choice regarding the use of analytics: “analytics allowed” or “essential only”. Retention period — 180 days;
  • CSRF cookie — used to protect the forms and requests on the Site against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Its retention period is determined by the technical settings of the Site and of the user’s browser.

Essential cookies may be set without any analytics services being enabled, since they are required to ensure the operation and security of the Site and to save its settings.

Analytics technologies

To obtain statistical information about traffic, the Site uses the Yandex Metrica service.

Yandex Metrica may use cookies, browser local storage (localStorage) and other technical identifiers to obtain statistical information, including information about visits to the Site, pages viewed, referral sources and user actions on the Site.

Yandex Metrica is used only after the user has given explicit consent to analytics.

Visiting the Site or continuing to use it does not in itself count as consent to the use of analytics technologies.

Until the user’s consent has been received, the Yandex Metrica counter code is not loaded, no analytics cookies or local storage entries related to the operation of Metrica are created by the Site, and no information about visits to the Site is transferred through Yandex Metrica.

The user’s choice

On the first visit to the Site the user can:

  • allow the use of analytics;
  • choose the “Essential only” option.

Refusing the use of analytics technologies does not restrict access to the main functions and content of the Site.

The user’s choice is stored in the kudo_cookie_consent cookie for 180 days, after which the Site may ask for the choice again.

Changing and withdrawing consent

The user can at any time change the choice made earlier or withdraw consent to the use of analytics technologies using the “Cookie settings” button in the footer of the Site.

When consent is withdrawn, the Site stops any further loading and operation of Yandex Metrica and deletes the analytics cookies available to the Site and the browser local storage entries related to Metrica.

The withdrawal of consent applies to the further use of analytics technologies and does not automatically change the information that was lawfully processed before the consent was withdrawn.

Managing cookies in the browser

The user can also restrict or completely disable the storage of cookies in the settings of their browser, and delete previously stored cookies and local storage data.

Disabling essential cookies may lead to incorrect operation of individual functions of the Site, including the forms, the security mechanisms and the saving of user settings.
