Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are stored by your browser and sent back to the website on subsequent visits. Cookies serve a range of purposes, from keeping you logged in to a service to helping a website understand how its visitors navigate its pages.

In addition to traditional cookies, similar technologies may be used, including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy addresses all such technologies collectively as "cookies" for simplicity. Each of these technologies stores data on or reads data from your device and operates under the same consent framework described in this document.

Cookies are not programs. They cannot execute code, carry viruses, or access other information on your device beyond what is stored in the cookie file itself. They are passive data stores that your browser manages.

Types of Cookies We Use

This Site uses three categories of cookies: essential cookies, analytics cookies, and functional cookies. Each category serves a distinct purpose and is subject to different consent requirements. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or cookies placed by social media platforms.

Cookies on this Site are either first-party cookies (set by the vosoyu-sevefi.info domain) or third-party cookies (set by external service providers). Where third-party cookies are present, this policy identifies them by category and explains their purpose.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the Site to function. They do not require your consent under applicable law because they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while continuing to use the Site.

The essential cookies used on this Site include the cookie that stores your cookie consent preferences (cookie name prefix: vss_consent). This cookie records what choices you made when the cookie consent banner was displayed so that the banner does not reappear on every page visit. It does not contain personal information beyond your consent choices. It expires after 365 days.

Any session management cookies necessary to maintain the continuity of your visit across pages are also essential. These cookies expire when you close your browser.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. They collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, the general geographic region of visitors (country or state level, not precise location), the type of device and browser used, and how visitors arrive at the Site (for example, through a search engine or a direct link).

This information is collected in aggregate form. Individual visitor sessions may be tracked for the purpose of generating aggregate metrics, but we do not use analytics data to build individual profiles for commercial purposes or to identify individual visitors.

Analytics cookies are only set if you explicitly consent to them through the cookie consent interface. If you have not consented or have declined analytics cookies, no analytics cookies will be placed on your device.

The analytics cookies used on this Site are first-party cookies. They expire after 30 days of inactivity or 365 days from the date of creation, whichever comes first.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. On this Site, functional cookies may be used to remember display preferences related to article reading, such as text size settings if such features are implemented. They may also be used to remember which articles you have previously visited so that the Site can indicate read status where that feature exists.

Functional cookies are optional and are only set with your consent. If you decline functional cookies, the Site will remain fully accessible, but certain convenience features may not be available or will reset each time you visit.

All functional cookies used on this Site are first-party cookies. Their expiry periods vary by purpose but do not exceed 365 days.

Advertising Cookies

This Site does not use advertising cookies. We do not run display advertising, retargeted advertising, or interest-based advertising. No cookies from advertising networks, demand-side platforms, or data management platforms are set by this Site.

We do not participate in cookie-based audience sharing arrangements with third parties. If you see advertising for this Site on other platforms, that advertising is managed through those platforms' own mechanisms, not through cookies placed on your device when you visit this Site.

Consent Mechanism

When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner appears at the top of the page. This banner gives you the option to accept all optional cookies, reject all optional cookies, or customize your preferences by category. Your choice is recorded in the essential consent cookie (vss_consent) and applied immediately.

If you choose to customize, a modal dialog opens that allows you to toggle analytics and functional cookies independently. You can save your customized preferences, which will then be applied. Essential cookies are always enabled and cannot be toggled.

Your consent is valid for 365 days from the date you provide it. After that period, you will be asked again. You may also change your preferences at any time by revisiting the cookie consent interface, which can be accessed through the cookie settings link in the site footer or by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.

Managing Your Preferences

You may update your cookie preferences at any time by clearing the vss_consent cookie from your browser and revisiting the Site, which will cause the consent banner to reappear. Alternatively, if the Site provides an accessible cookie preferences link, you may use that to reopen the preference modal.

Withdrawing consent for analytics or functional cookies will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to withdrawal. After withdrawal, no new optional cookies will be set on your device, and existing optional cookies will be removed on your next visit or when they naturally expire.

Browser-Level Controls

In addition to the consent mechanism on this Site, your browser provides controls over cookies. You can configure most browsers to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or alert you before a cookie is stored. You can also delete stored cookies through your browser settings.

Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. You can find guidance for common browsers through their respective help documentation. Note that disabling all cookies through your browser will prevent the consent preference cookie from being stored, which means the consent banner will reappear on every visit.

Blocking essential cookies through browser settings may affect the basic functionality of the Site, including the ability to maintain consistent navigation behavior across pages.

Third-Party Cookies

The Site may embed content from third-party services, such as the Google Maps iframe on the contact page. When such content is embedded, the third party may set its own cookies. These cookies are outside the direct control of Vosoyu Sevefi and are governed by the third party's own cookie and privacy policies.

Google Maps is operated by Google LLC and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. If you interact with the embedded map, Google may collect information about that interaction in accordance with their policies.

We have limited the use of embedded third-party content to cases where it provides a clear functional benefit. We do not embed third-party content for advertising purposes or for the purpose of enabling third-party tracking of Site visitors.

Policy Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies used on the Site, changes in applicable law, or changes in our practices. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top. If the changes are material, particularly if we add new cookie categories, we will reset the consent mechanism so that existing visitors are asked to provide consent for the new categories.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of the Site after changes to this policy constitutes your acknowledgment of those changes.
