Use of cookies
Cookies are small text records a site stores in your browser. This page lists exactly which records the service creates and why
What they are for
The service uses cookies for two things: to avoid showing the same notice on every visit and to understand which pages readers use and which are useless. We do not use cookies for ad targeting and do not pass them to ad networks.
| Record | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| servercalc.cookie.v1 | ServerCalc | Remembers that you closed the cookie notice so it does not appear on every visit | 1 year | Technical |
| _ym_uid, _ym_d | Yandex Metrika | An anonymized visitor identifier and the date of the first visit. Used to tell new readers from returning ones | 1 year | Analytics |
| _ym_isad, _ym_visorc | Yandex Metrika | Service values of the counter: whether a blocker is present and the session-recording state | session to 2 days | Analytics |
| _ga, _ga_WE8E8VWCS7 | Google Analytics | An anonymized visitor identifier and the Google Analytics session state. Used to count visits and distinguish visitors | 2 years | Analytics |
Partner cookies
When you follow an affiliate link to a provider, its site may set its own cookies to tie an order to our click. Those records are created on the provider’s side and are subject to its rules. The affiliate relationship itself is disclosed next to every such link and in the review of the provider in question.
How to turn them off
Every modern browser lets you block cookies entirely or for specific sites in the settings section devoted to privacy and site data. Records already stored can be deleted there too.
Data collection by Yandex Metrika can be declined separately with the official browser add-on provided by Yandex; Google Analytics collection can be declined with the official opt-out add-on provided by Google, or with any blocker.
With cookies disabled the service keeps working: the matching, the catalog and the content do not need them to render. The only inconvenience is that the cookie notice reappears on every visit.
Counters
The Yandex Metrika counter number on the service is 111369260, and the Google Analytics measurement ID is G-WE8E8VWCS7. Details of the data processing are described in the privacy policy.
