Cookie policy

Exactly what we store in your browser, why we need it, and how to switch it off.

Last updated: May 2026

  • What cookies are

    Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser to keep context between page loads — that you're logged in, what language you picked, what's in your cart.

    We use the minimum set and don't work with advertising cookie networks. No cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting.

  • Essential cookies (always on)

    These keep the site working: your auth session token, CSRF protection, selected language, theme, and cart state. Lifetimes range from the current session up to 30 days.

    Essential cookies are always set — there's no consent toggle for them, because login, payment, and key delivery wouldn't work without them.

    Essential cookies are not shared with third parties and are not used for advertising or behavioural profiling.

  • Analytics

    We collect aggregated traffic stats — which pages get opened, where visitors come from, how fast pages load. That helps us spot slow pages and broken links before someone has to report them.

    Uses a self-hosted solution; no data is sent to Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrika, or similar services. IPs are hashed and visitor IDs rotate daily, so re-identifying a specific user from this data isn't possible.

  • Third-party cookies

    When you pay through external payment providers (cards, SBP, crypto), their widgets may set their own cookies on their own domains. We don't control them and don't see their contents.

    Cloudflare and our CDN set technical cookies for DDoS protection and traffic routing. Sentry (error monitoring) stores a session ID so it can correlate a stack trace with the user's actions — no personal data.

  • Managing cookies

    You can review and delete cookies through any browser's privacy settings (DevTools → Application → Cookies in Chrome/Edge, Storage → Cookies in Firefox). Removing the session cookie will log you out — you'll need to sign in again.

    If you enable Do Not Track or browse in private mode, we honour it: analytics cookies are not set, only the essential ones for login and cart remain.

  • Changes to this policy

    If the set of cookies we use changes materially (a new analytics service, a new payment provider) we update this page and re-show the consent banner. The last-updated date is shown at the top.

    Minor edits (typos, wording) apply without a banner — but the last-updated date always reflects them so you can track changes.
