Cookies

What cookies are

Cookies are small files or similar browser-storage technologies that help the site remember language, session state, selected checkout parameters, and your cookie-banner choice.

We aim not to use unnecessary cookies. Non-essential analytics should load only after explicit consent.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies and local storage are needed for the basic operation of the site: language choice, account session, security, checkout, protection against duplicate form submission, and storing your cookie choice.

Without these files, the site, account login, or checkout may not work correctly, so they are used independently of analytics consent.

Analytics and consent

Web analytics uses Yandex Metrica (clickmap and link/referrer analysis; webvisor session recording is off). The Metrica script loads ONLY after you click 'Accept' in the cookie banner.

If you decline or make no choice, Metrica does not load. The decision is stored in your browser and can be changed by clearing the site data.

If Webvisor, session recording, or other extended analytics is enabled in the future, it must be separately disclosed in the policy and enabled only where required consent has been obtained.

Payment and third-party cookies

When you proceed to payment, Stripe may use its own cookies or similar technologies on its payment page. These cookies are governed by Stripe's rules and are needed for secure payment processing.

If embedded maps, video, messengers, or other third-party widgets are added to the site, they may set their own cookies. Such integrations must be listed in the final policy before launch.

How to manage cookies

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies in the banner. Declining analytics does not block site browsing or checkout, but it does not affect essential cookies.

You can change your choice by clearing cookies and site data in your browser. After clearing, the site may show the cookie banner again.

Your browser can also block cookies entirely, but account login, cart, or checkout may then work unreliably.

Cookie retention

Cookie consent and related technical records are usually kept for up to 12 months unless you clear site data earlier.

Session cookies usually last for the browser session or account-login period. Analytics cookies, if you consented, may be kept within the periods set by Yandex Metrica and site settings.

Exact periods must be confirmed in the final version after checking the actual production cookie settings.
