Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a visitor’s device through a web browser.

Cookies can serve different purposes. For example, they may be used to:

• provide essential website functions;
• remember user preferences;
• maintain a login session;
• measure website usage;
• personalise content;
• support advertising;
• track visitors across websites.

Not every cookie identifies a person directly. However, cookies and similar identifiers may be associated with a device, browser session, IP address or user profile.

What Is Local Storage?

Local storage is a browser technology that allows a website to store small pieces of information directly in the visitor’s browser.

Local storage is technically different from a traditional cookie, but it can be used for similar purposes, such as remembering a user preference.

This website currently uses local storage only to remember the language selected by the visitor.

The stored value is limited to one of the following language codes:

• “ru” for Russian;
• “en” for English.

No name, email address, Telegram username or other directly identifying information is stored in connection with the language preference.

Language Preference

The website is available in Russian and English.

When a visitor changes the website language, the selected preference may be saved in the browser’s local storage.

This allows the website to display the same language when the visitor returns.

The language setting is used only to provide the multilingual functionality selected by the visitor.

It is not used for:

• analytics;
• advertising;
• marketing;
• behavioural tracking;
• profiling;
• retargeting;
• cross-site tracking;
• measuring campaign performance;
• creating a visitor profile.

The language preference remains stored until the visitor:

• selects another language;
• clears the browser’s website data;
• deletes the local storage entry;
• uses a private browsing session that removes stored information.

Strictly Necessary Functionality

The language preference is intended to provide a function explicitly requested by the visitor.

Without storing the selected language, the website may return to its default language each time a new visit begins.

The language preference is therefore treated as a functional and strictly limited browser setting.

It is not used for any secondary purpose.

If the purpose or implementation of this storage changes, the use of the technology must be reviewed before the change is published.

Cookies Currently Used

The website does not currently intentionally set non-essential cookies.

In particular, the website does not currently use cookies for:

• website analytics;
• audience measurement;
• advertising;
• personalised advertising;
• social-media tracking;
• remarketing;
• profiling;
• conversion tracking;
• A/B testing;
• heatmaps;
• session recording;
• affiliate tracking;
• cross-device tracking.

The website operator does not currently operate a visitor-facing cookie preference centre because no optional cookie categories are intended to be active.

Analytics and Tracking Technologies

This website does not currently use:

• Google Analytics;
• Google Tag Manager for analytics or advertising;
• Meta Pixel;
• Facebook Pixel;
• TikTok Pixel;
• LinkedIn Insight Tag;
• Microsoft Advertising tracking;
• Hotjar;
• Matomo;
• tracking pixels;
• fingerprinting technologies;
• behavioural analytics tools;
• advertising identifiers.

No analytics or marketing profile is created from visits to this website.

If any analytics or tracking technology is added in the future, it must not be activated until:

1. the technology has been reviewed;
2. the Privacy Policy has been updated;
3. this Cookie Policy has been updated;
4. any legally required consent mechanism has been implemented;
5. optional technologies remain disabled until valid consent has been obtained.

Third-Party Content

The website is intended to use locally hosted:

• fonts;
• images;
• graphics;
• video files;
• book files;
• PDF documents.

The website does not currently intend to automatically load embedded content from:

• YouTube;
• Vimeo;
• Instagram;
• Facebook;
• Telegram;
• Google Maps;
• Spotify;
• SoundCloud;
• another third-party media platform.

Ordinary external links may lead to Telegram, Instagram, Facebook or other websites.

Simply displaying an ordinary external link does not require the website to place a third-party cookie on the visitor’s device.

When the visitor actively clicks an external link, the destination service may use its own cookies, local storage or similar technologies according to its own policies.

The website operator does not control the technologies used by an external service after the visitor leaves alexkulpin.com.

Telegram Links

Some buttons on this website lead to:

• Telegram channels;
• Telegram posts;
• Telegram bots;
• audio materials;
• meditation recordings;
• PDF workbooks;
• business information;
• other resources hosted through Telegram.

Telegram is not intended to be embedded as an active widget on this website.

A connection to Telegram is established only when the visitor actively clicks a Telegram link.

After the visitor opens Telegram, Telegram may use cookies, device identifiers, local storage or other technologies under its own responsibility.

Visitors should review Telegram’s own privacy and cookie information before using the service.

Instagram and Facebook Links

The website may contain ordinary links to Instagram and Facebook.

The website does not currently use:

• embedded Instagram feeds;
• Facebook Like buttons;
• Meta social plugins;
• Meta tracking pixels;
• embedded comment systems;
• automatically loaded Meta scripts.

A connection to Instagram or Facebook is established only when the visitor actively clicks the relevant external link.

After the visitor leaves this website, Meta and its services may use cookies and similar technologies according to their own policies.

Server-Side Technical Processing

The absence of analytics and advertising cookies does not mean that no technical data is processed when the website is visited.

The hosting provider may process technical server-log information required to deliver and secure the website.

Server logs are not browser cookies and are not stored through this Cookie Policy.

Further information about hosting, server logs and personal-data processing is available in the website’s Privacy Policy.

Managing Browser Storage

Visitors can inspect, delete or block cookies and local storage through their browser settings.

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device being used.

Depending on the browser, visitors may be able to:

• view stored website data;
• delete cookies;
• delete local storage;
• block all cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• clear website permissions;
• use private or incognito browsing;
• configure automatic deletion when the browser is closed.

Deleting the stored language preference may cause the website to return to its default language on the next visit.

Blocking the language preference should not prevent access to the main public content of the website, but the selected language may no longer be remembered between visits.

No Consent Banner at Present

The website does not currently display a cookie consent banner.

This is because the current website configuration is intended not to use optional analytics, advertising, marketing or tracking technologies.

A consent banner should not be added merely for visual appearance.

If non-essential cookies, local-storage entries, embedded third-party services or tracking technologies are introduced in the future, the need for consent must be assessed before those technologies are activated.

Where consent is legally required:

• the technology must remain disabled before consent;
• rejecting consent must be as easy as accepting it;
• no optional service may be activated through preselected choices;
• consent must be freely given;
• consent must be specific;
• consent must be informed;
• consent must be withdrawable.

Future Changes

The website’s technical configuration may change over time.

This Cookie Policy must be reviewed if the website later adds:

• analytics;
• advertising;
• marketing pixels;
• embedded video players;
• embedded social-media feeds;
• maps;
• booking systems;
• contact-form services;
• newsletter services;
• payment services;
• chat widgets;
• customer accounts;
• personalisation tools;
• consent-management platforms;
• affiliate tracking technologies;
• external font services.

Any new technology must be documented before it is activated publicly.

The Privacy Policy includes information about:

• the data controller;
