COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how Svitlogics ("the Service," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, svitlogics.com. This policy is designed to be read in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies is minimal and aligns with our core principles of privacy and data minimization. We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or user profiling. Our sole use of non-essential cookies is for anonymized website analytics, which helps us understand how the Service is used and how to improve it. By using our cookie consent banner, you have full control over the use of these non-essential cookies.

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as consent choices) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be classified in several ways:

• First-party vs. Third-party: First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Svitlogics). Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, such as Google Analytics.
• Session vs. Persistent: Session cookies are temporary and are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.

Svitlogics uses a limited number of cookies for two specific purposes: remembering your consent choices and collecting aggregated, anonymous analytics data.

The only third-party cookies used on Svitlogics are from Google Analytics. When you consent to analytics, Google places cookies on your device to perform the services described above. Svitlogics does not have direct control over the information collected by these cookies.

The data generated by these cookies is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. For more information, please review Google's Privacy & Terms.

We respect your right to privacy, and you have full control over the use of non-essential cookies on Svitlogics.

Svitlogics has implemented Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure our use of Google services respects your consent choices. This is a technical framework that communicates your consent decisions to Google.

When you visit our site, before our consent banner is displayed, we send a default signal to Google that consent for `analytics_storage` is **'denied'**. This ensures that Google Analytics operates in a restricted, cookieless mode, collecting only basic, non-identifiable interaction data (pings) without reading or writing cookies. If you choose to **'Accept'** analytics cookies, we then send an updated signal to Google, setting `analytics_storage` to **'granted'**. This allows Google Analytics to begin using cookies for the session and collect richer, albeit still anonymous, data. This mechanism ensures that no analytics cookies are used without your explicit consent, in full compliance with GDPR.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
