Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar local-storage technologies. They let the site work properly, remember your choices and — with your consent — measure how the site is used.

On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies, or choose by category. Strictly necessary technologies are always active because the site cannot work without them. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.

Strictly necessary — keep the site secure and store your cookie preference. These do not require consent and cannot be switched off.

Analytics (optional) — Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager and Yandex Metrica (including Webvisor session replay). They help us understand usage and improve the site. They load only after you consent.

• sf-consent-v1 (local storage, by shadowforge) — stores your cookie consent choice. Necessary. Duration: until you clear it.
• _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics) — distinguish users and sessions. Analytics. Duration: up to 24 months.
• _ym_uid, _ym_d, _ym_isad, _ym_visorc (Yandex Metrica) — identify users/sessions and enable Webvisor. Analytics. Duration: up to 24 months (some session-only).

The exact set of cookies depends on the providers' configuration; the list above is the typical one.

• Google — Google Tag Manager / Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
• Yandex — Yandex Metrica: yandex.com/legal/confidential

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect how the site works. Helpful guides are available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.

We may update this Cookie Policy; the current version and date are shown on this page.
