About the Cookie Policy
When you visit our website ("Site"), cookies and similar technologies are used to improve your experience, measure site performance, and ensure the proper functioning of certain core features. This text explains which types of cookies are used on the Site, for what purposes, and how these cookies can be controlled.
What Is a Cookie?
Cookies are small text files sent to your browser by the websites you visit and stored on your device. These files allow the website to remember information about you and provide a more convenient browsing experience.
Purposes of Using Cookies
Cookies used on the Site serve the following purposes:
- Site Functionality: Ensuring that core site features work properly (e.g., session management).
- Performance & Analytics: Analyzing site usage to improve service quality.
- User Experience: Remembering user preferences to provide faster and easier access (e.g., dark/light theme selection).
- Security: Using antiforgery cookies to verify that requests submitted through contact forms originate from this Site.
Types of Cookies Used
Both first-party cookies (set by the Site) and third-party cookies (set by external services) are used on the Site.
Session Cookies
These are temporary cookies that are stored on your device until you leave the website. They are deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies
themeColor: A cookie that stores the color preference used for visual elements such as the logo, links, and borders. This setting can be changed via the Theme menu in the top-right corner of the Site and ensures the same color is applied on subsequent visits.
themeScheme: A cookie that stores whether the Site is displayed in dark or light mode. This can be changed using the Dark/Light options in the Theme menu and ensures the same theme is applied when the user revisits the Site.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics cookies are third-party cookies used to analyze site visits, visit duration, and page view statistics. These cookies are activated only if the user provides explicit consent.
Security Cookies
__Host-act-csrf: A mandatory security cookie used to protect against CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks. This cookie is used to verify that form submissions and data transfer operations on the Site are genuinely initiated by the Site’s own pages. By validating the cookie automatically sent by the browser together with a security verification token generated within the page, unauthorized requests originating from other websites are prevented.
Similar Technologies (Local Storage)
In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as localStorage, which operate within the browser, are also used. These records are used to remember the user’s cookie preferences and do not contain any personal data. Information regarding whether cookies have been accepted is stored here and is not transmitted to the server.
act_cookie_consent_v1: A local storage value that stores whether cookies have been accepted on the Site. It is not a cookie and is not sent to the server with requests.
act_cookie_analytics_v1: A local storage value that stores whether statistical data collection via Google Analytics is enabled. A value of 0 means no analytics data is collected, while a value of 1 indicates that the user has given consent. It is not a cookie and is not sent to the server with requests.
