Cookie Policy
Updated: July 31, 2026
What are cookies
Small text files the site stores in your browser when you visit. They help the site remember you between visits and function correctly.
Necessary cookies
Login session, CSRF protection, locale (RU/EN). Always active - without them you cannot sign in or keep your interface language. No explicit consent required (legitimate interest under GDPR).
Analytics cookies
Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica count visits and help us understand which articles are useful. They load only after you consent via the cookie banner ("Accept all"). Retention: up to 2 years (Google), up to 1 year (Yandex).
How to give or withdraw consent
On your first visit you see a banner offering "Necessary only" or "Accept all". To change your choice later, clear the site's cookies in your browser settings - the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Who else sees this data
Google (Google Analytics) and Yandex (Yandex Metrica) process anonymised visit data on their own servers, under their respective privacy policies. We do not share this data with anyone else.
Effect of opting out
Declining analytics cookies does not limit any site feature - reading, comments, likes and subscriptions all work the same either way.
