Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2025

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies we use on the site, for what purposes, and how you can manage your choices.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function and do not require consent. For functional, analytics, and marketing cookies we request your explicit choice.

Legal grounds (Georgia)

We process data via cookies in accordance with the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection (new edition 2024), aligned with GDPR principles. For non‑essential cookies, we rely on your freely given consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

What are cookies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. They may be set by us (first‑party) or by our partners (third‑party).

Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary: Provide core site functions (security, login, CSRF). Always enabled and do not require consent.
Functional (preferences): Remember your settings such as city/language and display options.
Analytics: Help us understand how you use the site (e.g., Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica).
Marketing: Used for personalized ads and measuring their effectiveness (e.g., Facebook Pixel).

Legal basis for processing

For strictly necessary cookies, the legal basis is legitimate interest and necessity to provide the requested service (security, session, CSRF protection). For functional, analytics, and marketing cookies the basis is your consent (under Georgian law).

How to manage cookies

You can change your choices at any time: open the banner. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

Third‑party providers

Some cookies are set by third parties (e.g., analytics or marketing providers). Such providers have their own obligations to inform and comply with the law. We use only providers offering adequate data protection guarantees.

Retention

The storage period for cookies depends on their purpose and your browser settings. We use both cookies that last only for one session and persistent cookies.

Session cookies work within your current session and are usually deleted when you close the browser or end the session. In some browsers, the session may be restored, which can extend their lifetime.

Persistent cookies stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them via your browser settings. These cookies help us recognize you on subsequent visits.

Third-party provider cookies may have their own retention periods set by those providers. We use only partners that offer adequate data protection guarantees.

We store your cookie consent settings for up to 6 months, after which we will ask you to confirm your choice again.

You can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Withdrawing consent or deleting cookies may affect some site features, but it does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Cross‑border transfers

Where processing involves transfers outside Georgia, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual commitments, suitable security measures).
