1. What cookies are
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.
2. Your consent and control
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.

3. Categories we use
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.
