Cookie policy
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device when you visit websites. They help the site remember information about your visit, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Browser local storage works in much the same way: the site saves settings there, but they are not sent to the server.
2. Which cookies we use
Site settings
Your color theme, the homepage ranking view, and expanded filters are stored in your browser’s local storage. These entries are not sent to the server.
Visit tracking
The itm_attr cookie remembers how you arrived at the site (UTM tags, referring website, and ad click ID), a random visitor ID, and the time of your first visit. It shows us which sources bring readers who go on to visit service websites. Our server sets this cookie when a page opens; it is stored for 30 days and is not accessible to page scripts.
Analytics
If analytics tools are connected (Yandex Metrica or others that the site administrator enables), they run as soon as a page opens, without separate consent and without a banner. They count visitors, page views, and traffic sources and set their own cookies. We do not load Yandex Metrica for visitors whose browser uses a Ukrainian time zone or language.

4. Managing cookies
You can turn off analytics and cookies in these ways:
- Browser settings: block cookies for the site or delete the ones already saved. The site works without them.
- Ad and tracker blockers: they usually prevent analytics tools from loading.
- Yandex Metrica: Yandex’s browser add-on turns off Metrica data collection — see the instructions.
- Local storage: clear the site's data in your browser settings — the site will forget your theme and ranking view.

5. Third-party cookies
Third-party services may set their own cookies:
- Yandex Metrica (Yandex LLC), if connected — counts visitors and traffic sources. Yandex receives visit data (page address, traffic source, device and browser, IP address) and processes it under its own rules.
- Other analytics tools, if the administrator connects them — they receive visit data in the same way.
- Cloudflare — site protection and bot checks for forms.
Analytics tools load as soon as a page opens. These services have their own privacy policies.
6. Policy changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page along with the date of the latest update.
