Consent to the processing of cookies

Website https://panchakarma.club (hereinafter referred to as the «Site»), uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure maximum convenience for users (hereinafter referred to as the «Users») by providing personalised information, remembering marketing and Site content preferences, and helping users obtain the information they need. By using this Site, you confirm your agreement to the use of cookies in accordance with this agreement regarding this type of file. If you do not agree to our use of this type of file, you must adjust your browser settings accordingly or not use the Site.

The following agreement concerns the Site’s rules regarding the personal information provided to the Site administration by Users.

1. Introduction

This agreement concerns the Site’s use of the information obtained from the Site’s Users. This document also contains information about «cookie» files, about the use of «cookie» files by the Site and third parties, and about how you can refuse such files.

2. Information for Users

While viewing any page of the Site, the page itself is loaded onto your computer, along with a small text file called a «cookie». Many sites and mobile applications use such files, because «cookies» make it possible to do many useful things. For example, thanks to these files site owners can determine whether a particular computer or smartphone (and, probably, its User) has been on the site before. This happens during a repeat visit to the site by checking the user’s computer for a «cookie» file left over from a previous visit.

The information we obtain by means of «cookie» files helps us to provide you with our services in the form most convenient for you, and may also help us to form an idea of our readers. For example: if, on visiting the Site, you visited some section, then next time we can learn about this from the «cookie» and highlight articles from that section during your subsequent visits to the Site.

3. Information about «cookies»

A «cookie» file is a small amount of data, which often contains a unique anonymous identifier, sent to your browser by the site’s computer and stored on your computer’s hard drive / in your smartphone’s browser folders. Each site can send its own «cookie» files to your computer/smartphone if your browser settings allow it. At the same time (in order to preserve the confidentiality of your data), your browser opens access for sites only to your own «cookies», but does not allow them to use the same «cookie» files left by other sites.

«Cookie» files store information about your preferences on the internet. Users can set up their computers so that they automatically accept all «cookie» files, or warn each time a site tries to write its «cookie» to the user’s hard drive, or not accept any «cookie» files at all. The last option means that some personalised services cannot be provided to users, and also that users who have chosen such settings will not be able to gain full access to all sections of the Site.

Every browser is unique, so refer to the «Help» function of your browser to find out how to configure the handling of «cookie» files.

If you have set your computer to completely refuse to accept «cookie» files, you can still visit the Site anonymously until you wish to use one of the site’s services.

Cookies are widely used by the owners of sites and mobile applications to ensure the operation of sites or to improve their efficiency, as well as to obtain analytical information.

The Site and service providers may use various types of cookies on their internet resources:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are necessary for the site to work correctly; they allow Users to move around the Site and use its features. These files do not identify Users as individuals. If a User does not agree to use this type of file, it may affect the performance of the Site or its components.
• Cookies relating to performance, efficiency and analytics. These files help us to understand how Users interact with the Site, providing information about the areas they visited and the amount of time they spent on the Site; these files also reveal problems in the operation of the internet resource, for example error messages. This helps to improve the operation of the site. Cookies relating to analytics also help us to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to optimise the content of the Site for those who were interested in our advertising. This type of cookie cannot be used to identify you. All the information that is collected and analysed is completely anonymous.
• Functional cookies. These cookies serve to recognise Users returning to the Site. They make it possible to tailor the content of the Site individually for Users. If a User blocks this type of file, it may affect the performance and functionality of the website and may restrict access to content on the site.
• Advertising cookies. These files record information about the user’s actions on the Internet, including visits to sites and pages, as well as data about the links and advertisements that Users chose to view. One purpose is to display on websites the content that is most fully oriented towards the User. Another purpose is to make it possible to provide advertising or other information in more precise correspondence with the User’s interests.

4. Collection and use of information

Cookies are used for various purposes, including to:

• Make it easier for ourselves and third parties to obtain information about Users’ visits to the Site.
• Analyse information about page visits by Users in order to improve the Site.
• Provide advertising, messages and content created by us and by third parties, on this site and on other persons’ sites, taking into account the User’s interests.
• Help the User to obtain the necessary information.
• Determine the number of visitors and how they use our Site — to improve the effectiveness of the site and to better understand the interests of their audience.

5. Storage period of cookies

Some cookies are valid from the moment you enter the site until the end of that particular browser session. When you close the browser, these files become unnecessary and are automatically deleted. Such cookies are called «session» cookies.

Some cookies are stored on the device also between browser sessions — they are not deleted after the browser is closed. Such cookies are called «persistent». The storage period of persistent cookies on the device differs for different cookies. We and other companies use persistent cookies for various purposes: for example, to determine how often you visit our sites or how often you return to them, how the nature of the use of the Site changes over time, and also to assess the effectiveness of advertising.

We and third parties may use cookies to find out when you visit the Site and how you interact with the content. On the basis of cookies, generalised and other information not connected with the identification of individual users may be collected and used (for example, about the operating system, the browser version and the URL from which the transition to this page was made, including from an email or an advertisement) — thanks to this we can provide you with wider opportunities and analyse the routes of visits to the sites. Such technology makes it possible to count the number of users who visited a particular section by following a link from a certain banner outside this site, from a text link or from images included in a mailing. In addition, it serves as a tool for collecting generalised statistics about the use of the Site for the purposes of analytical research and helps us to optimise our Site and to offer advertising in accordance with your interests, as described in detail below.

6. Use of web tracking and cookies

We use software to determine the number of users visiting the Site and the regularity of visits. We do not use programs to collect the personal data or IP addresses of individuals. The data are used exclusively in an anonymous manner in aggregate form for statistical purposes, as well as for the development of the Site.

We do not create an individual profile of your actions on the internet. The content of persistent cookies is limited to an identification number. Name, email address, IP address, etc. are not stored.

There is an exception: «Yandex.Metrica» cookies.

«Yandex.Metrica» cookies may be used to a small extent. These cookies use IP addresses to recognise users, but do not perform personal identification. In other words, information is collected anonymously. Cookies collect information about how Users use the Site, and this information is then used to compile reports and help us improve the Site. You can read more about Yandex.Metrica cookies on the page https://yandex.ru/support/metrica/general/cookie-usage.html.

7. Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies in embedded content

Please note: as you may notice, when visiting some pages of our websites, cookies are created that do not belong to the Site. When you visit a page with content embedded, for example, from the YouTube or Vimeo websites, these service providers may create their own cookies in your browser. The Site does not control the use of these cookies and cannot gain access to them due to the way cookies work — access to them is held only by the party that originally created them. Look for more detailed information about these cookies on the third parties’ websites.

Web beacons

We use analytical web services, for example Yandex.Metrica, that help us to understand how people use our websites and thereby ensure their relevance, ease of use and the up-to-dateness of the content. These services use data-collection technologies such as web beacons. Web beacons are small electronic images that place cookies, count the number of visits and assess the usage indicators and effectiveness of the use of the website. In turn, this information helps us to understand what information interests visitors to our sites and to provide individualised content on our websites. Web beacons are anonymous, do not contain and do not collect information that identifies you.

The information is anonymous and is used exclusively for statistical purposes. The web analytics data and cookies cannot be used to establish your identity, since they never contain personal data, including your name or email address.

8. Managing cookies

Our Site can be used without cookies too. You can disable the saving of cookies, restrict their creation to specific websites or set up a notification about the sending of cookies in your browser. You can also delete cookies from your PC’s hard drive at any time (file: «cookies»). Please note: in that case the display of pages and the guidance on using the sites will be limited.

Most browsers allow you, to one degree or another, to control most cookies through the browser settings.

Not all visitors to our site use web browsers. For example, some users access websites from mobile devices. In that case, disabling cookies or changing the settings of the web browser will probably be impossible.

Most internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically. A User can change the settings so that the browser blocks cookies or warns when files of this type are to be sent to the device. There are several ways to manage cookies. Please refer to the browser’s instructions to learn more about how to adjust or change the browser settings.

Disabling some of the specified types of cookies may make it impossible to use certain sections or functions of the Services.

9. Updating the Cookie Processing Policy

From time to time changes and/or additions may be made to the Policy. If changes are made to the Policy, the updated version of the Policy will be posted on the Internet at the address: https://panchakarma.club, with the Site administration not informing the Site’s users of such changes by sending them any special notifications. The User is advised to review this page regularly in order to have up-to-date information.
