2. What cookies are
2.1. Cookies are small text files that a website stores in the user’s browser during a visit. They allow the website to remember the user’s actions and preferences (e.g. the selected language or the choice made in the cookie banner).
2.2. In addition to cookies, similar technologies may be used — browser local storage (localStorage), pixels and third-party scripts. In this Policy, all of them are referred to as «cookies».
2.3. Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted by the user.
2.4. First-party cookies are set by the Websites’ domain; third-party cookies are set by external services embedded in the Websites (Google, YouTube, Jivo).
3. Cookie categories
3.1. Strictly necessary cookies. Ensure the basic operation of the Websites: page display, language switching (RU/EN), form protection and storing the user’s choice in the cookie banner. They cannot be disabled via the banner, as the Websites would not function properly without them. Consent is not required.
3.2. Analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors use the Websites: which pages they view, where they come from and how long they stay. We use Google Analytics 4. Data is processed in aggregated form. Set only with the user’s consent.
3.3. Functional cookies and third-party services. Enable embedded services: JivoChat online chat, Google Maps (directions to the venue), YouTube videos (promo videos, recordings and broadcasts of events). Third-party services load only after the user’s consent; until then a placeholder offering to enable the service is shown.
