Policy regarding the processing of cookies on the official website of the Orsha District Executive Committee.

1        Cookies are text files saved in the browser of a user's computer (or mobile device) when visiting the official website of the Orsha District Executive Committee (hereinafter referred to as the "Site") to record actions taken. These files eliminate the need to re-enter or re-select settings during subsequent visits to the Site.

Cookies do not pose a threat to the user's device, as they consist of text rather than executable programs.

Users have the ability to manage cookie settings in their browsers, including blocking or deleting existing cookies.

2        The purpose of processing cookies is to ensure user convenience and improve the Site's performance. Cookies store user information that can be used to enhance the user's experience on the Site. Cookies may contain various data, such as user preferences, browsing history, etc.

We do not share cookies with third parties, nor do we use them to identify data subjects.

3        The following types of cookies are processed on the Site:

strictly necessary cookies – used for the proper functioning of the Site and to ensure its security;

performance cookies – used for internal analysis and optimization of the Site, as well as for storing auxiliary information;

analytical and targeting cookies – help analyze the Site's popularity, identify the most visited pages, track the time users spend on the Site and how they navigate it, and detect potential issues encountered by users. The information obtained may be used to improve the user experience and increase the Site's efficiency; functional (including the selection of a version for the visually impaired) – stored on the user's device between browser sessions; these allow the site to remember user preferences or actions, enable the use of additional site features, and allow the site to be customized according to user preferences;

unclassified – currently not assigned to other cookie categories and are in the process of being classified.

4        Based on their retention period, cookies are divided into two categories:

temporary or session cookies – stored in the user's browser only for the duration of the session (i.e., until the user closes the browser or logs out). These cookies are used to save information about the user's state and ensure session security;

persistent cookies – stored in the user's browser for an extended period and used to save information that remains available during subsequent visits to the site. Such cookies may contain information about user preferences and login details, and may enable the tracking of user behavior online.

5        Based on their origin, the cookies used on the website are classified as first-party or third-party:

first-party cookies – cookies created and set by the website itself when a user visits it. They are used to collect information about user behavior on the specific site, such as user preferences, and can help improve the user experience on that site;

third-party cookies – cookies created and set by third-party websites and services, rather than by the website the user is visiting. They are used to track user activity across various websites and may be used for ad personalization, collecting data on online user behavior, and other marketing and analytics purposes. Third parties may use these cookies to track user activity and create user profiles for advertising and marketing purposes.

6        To collect analytical information, the Orsha District Executive Committee website uses cookies from the web analytics platforms "Google Analytics" and "Yandex.Metrica." The website has no control over the operation of the cookies used by these services. All necessary information regarding their use can be found by visiting the respective resources:

7        Users may accept all cookies processed on the website or reject them, with the exception of strictly necessary cookies.

If cookies are disabled, the correct functioning of the website cannot be guaranteed.

Disabling performance cookies may result in reduced website performance and functionality (e.g., slower page loading speeds, loss of certain functional capabilities, website malfunctions, etc.). Disabling analytical and targeting cookies may reduce the quality of personalization and the collection of information regarding the user and their behavior on the site—data used, in particular, to tailor personalized advertising.

Disabling functional cookies may limit the user's access to certain site features. For example, disabling them might require re-selecting cookie preferences, and versions of pages designed for the visually impaired may not display correctly.

Users can view the list of cookies and their retention periods in the appendix to this Policy. Once the cookie retention period expires, the Orsha District Executive Committee website will request your consent again.

8        In addition to the site's cookie settings, data subjects can accept or reject the collection of all or some cookies via their browser settings.

It is important to note that if a user chooses to disable cookies, the site cannot guarantee the full and effective operation of all its features.

However, some browsers allow users to visit websites in "Incognito" mode to limit the amount of information stored on the computer and automatically delete session cookies.
