Cookies and Metrics Policy
information about cookies and web analytics tools
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet). They help the site remember your settings, maintain a session, and collect visit statistics.
This Policy describes which cookies and metrics SoftDump (https://www.softdump.net) uses, why they are needed, and how you can manage them.
2. Operator
The website operator and the person determining the purposes of cookie/metrics data processing is individual entrepreneur Grigoriev Aleksandr Yuryevich (INN 662312491218, OGRNIP 324237500112533). Contacts: info@softdump.net, +7 912 246-62-24.
3. Cookies we use
3.1. Necessary (technical)
Required for the website to work correctly. Without them, some features are unavailable.
- session ID (cart, authorization, form protection);
- language and currency selection;
- cookie notice consent (stored for up to 1 year);
- technical theme and interface settings.
3.2. Functional
Remember your preferences (for example, catalog view) so the site is more convenient on return visits.
3.3. Analytics (metrics)
Help us understand how the site is used: which pages are opened, where visitors come from, and where errors occur. Data are typically anonymized or aggregated.
The website may use, in particular:
- Yandex Metrica — traffic counter, click map, Session Replay (if enabled in settings);
- Google Analytics / similar services — traffic statistics (if connected).
The exact set of counters depends on current website settings and may be updated.
4. Data that may be collected
- IP address (including truncated/anonymized form);
- cookie data and device/browser identifiers;
- browser, OS, and device type information;
- date and time of visit, pages viewed, referral source;
- actions on the site (clicks, form submissions — without card payment details).
Personal data processing related to cookies is also governed by the Consent to Personal Data Processing.
5. Purposes of use
- operating the cart, personal account, and security features;
- storing language, currency, and user preferences;
- analyzing traffic and improving the website;
- evaluating advertising and content performance (if the relevant analytics are connected).
6. Retention periods
Cookie lifetime depends on type:
- session cookies — deleted when the browser is closed;
- persistent cookies — stored from several days up to 1–2 years (or until you delete them);
- cookie notice consent cookie — usually up to 1 year.
Retention of data in analytics services is determined by the settings of the relevant counters and the policies of their operators.
7. Data transfer
Cookie/metrics data may be processed by analytics providers (Yandex, Google, etc.) under their privacy policies. The Operator does not sell such data to third parties.
8. How to manage cookies
You can:
- restrict or delete cookies in your browser settings;
- use Incognito/Private mode or tracker blockers;
- disable or limit data transfer in Yandex Metrica / Google settings (where available), and via browser extensions.
Disabling necessary cookies may cause the site to work incorrectly (cart, account login, language selection).
9. Consent
By continuing to use the website and/or closing the cookie notice, you confirm that you have read this Policy. For order and contact forms, a separate consent to personal data processing applies.
