1. The Service does not automatically collect any information, except for information contained in cookies.
  2. Cookies (also known as “cookie files”) are IT data, in particular text files, stored on the User’s device and intended for use with the Service’s websites. Cookies usually contain the name of the website from which they originate, the length of time they are stored on the device, and unique identifiers.
  3. The entity placing cookies on the Service User’s device and accessing them is the Service operator, the owner of this website.
  4. Cookies are used for the following purposes:
    a) adapting the content of the Service’s websites to the User’s preferences and optimizing the use of the websites; in particular, these files make it possible to recognize the Service User’s device and properly display a website tailored to the User’s individual needs;
    b) compiling statistics that help understand how Service Users use the websites, which makes it possible to improve their structure and content;
    c) maintaining the Service User’s session (after logging in), so that the User does not have to enter their username and password again on each subpage of the Service;
  5. The Service uses two basic types of cookies: “session”  (session cookies) and “persistent” cookies. “Session” cookies are temporary files stored on the User’s device until the User logs out, leaves the website, or closes the software (web browser). “Persistent” cookies are stored on the User’s device for the period specified in the cookie parameters or until they are deleted by the User.
  6. The Service uses the following types of cookies:
    a) “necessary” cookies, enabling the use of services available through the Service, e.g. authentication cookies used for services requiring authentication within the Service;
    b) cookies used to ensure security, e.g. those used to detect authentication-related abuse within the Service;
    c) “performance” cookies, enabling the collection of information about how the Service’s websites are used;
    d) “functional” cookies, enabling the “remembering” of settings selected by the User and the personalization of the User interface, e.g. the selected language or the region from which the User originates, font size, website appearance, etc.;
    e) “advertising” cookies, enabling the delivery of advertising content that is more relevant to Users’ interests.
  7. In many cases, web-browsing software (a web browser) allows cookies to be stored on the User’s device by default. Service Users may change their cookie settings at any time. In particular, these settings may be changed to block the automatic handling of cookies in the web browser settings or to receive notification each time cookies are placed on the Service User’s device. Detailed information about the options and methods for handling cookies is available in the settings of the software (web browser).
  8. The Service operator informs you that restricting the use of cookies may affect some functionality available on the Service’s websites.
  9. Cookies placed on the Service User’s device and used by the Service may also be placed and used by advertisers and partners cooperating with the Service operator.
