Cookies

What cookies are

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

We aim not to use unnecessary cookies. Yandex Metrica is used for web analytics.

Essential cookies

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

Without these files, the site, account login, or checkout may not work correctly, so they are always used.

Web analytics (Yandex Metrica)

Web analytics uses Yandex Metrica (clickmap and link/referrer analysis; webvisor session recording is off). The Metrica script loads on all pages of the site.

There is no separate analytics consent banner. You can turn Yandex Metrica off in your browser: Do-Not-Track, blocking the mc.yandex.ru domain, or a blocking extension, or via Yandex Metrica's opt-out tool.

If Webvisor, session recording, or other extended analytics is enabled in the future, it will be separately disclosed in this policy.

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 turn non-essential web analytics off in your browser: Do-Not-Track, blocking the mc.yandex.ru domain, or a blocking extension. This does not affect essential cookies.

You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser at any time.

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

Cookie retention

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. Yandex Metrica analytics cookies 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.
