Cookie Policy
Last updated 1 July 2026
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. This page explains which cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and tracking pixels) svirgdisru.com uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. Your choice
Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically because the site cannot work without them. Everything else is set only if you press "Accept all" on our banner. Pressing "Reject optional" leaves only the necessary items in place, and you can still read every page.
2. Categories we use
Strictly necessary
These keep the site secure and remember the choice you made on the cookie banner so we do not ask again on every page. They do not identify you personally and cannot be switched off.
- svirgdis-cookie-consent — local storage entry recording your banner choice. Retained 12 months.
- Load-balancing and security tokens — set by our hosting provider, session only.
Analytics (optional)
These help us understand which pages are read, how far people scroll and where visitors come from, so we can improve the content. Data is reported in aggregate.
- Visit and session identifiers, typically retained between 24 hours and 13 months.
- Referrer and campaign parameters from the page URL.
Advertising and attribution (optional)
These let advertising partners recognise that a visit or purchase originated from this site so that a commission can be attributed, and may be used to limit how often you see a particular promotion.
- Click identifiers appended when you follow a product link.
- Partner cookies or pixels, typically retained between 30 and 90 days.
3. Third-party cookies
Optional cookies may be set by third parties acting as independent controllers or as our processors, including analytics providers and affiliate networks. Once you click through to a merchant's website, that merchant sets its own cookies under its own policy — we have no control over them.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies from Settings → Privacy. You can also browse in private/incognito mode, which discards cookies when you close the window. Blocking all cookies may break parts of this and other websites. Guidance for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge is available in each browser's help pages.
5. Do Not Track and global signals
There is no agreed standard for Do Not Track headers, so we do not act on them. We do respect the choice you record on our banner, and we honour Global Privacy Control signals where our providers support them.
6. Changes
We review this policy periodically and when we add or remove a provider. Where a change materially affects optional cookies, we will ask for your consent again.
