Who we are

Our website address is https://galinali.ru/.

1. What this policy is about

This page explains what data and cookies are used on https://galinali.ru/ and why. The policy applies to all website visitors and users.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website or service stores in your browser. They help pages work correctly, retain necessary settings, and show how users interact with the website.

3. What data we receive

When you visit the website, technical and aggregated statistical data may be processed, including pages visited, time on the website, device and browser type, referral source, and approximate location.

When you sign in with VK ID or Yandex ID, the website receives data needed to operate your account, such as your email address, name, profile image, and account identifier, if the relevant service provides them. Information about books in your personal library, purchases, reading progress, and comments may also be stored.

Book payments may be handled by a third-party payment operator or an external marketplace. The website does not receive full bank card details; payment data is processed by the relevant third-party service under its own rules.

4. What cookies we use

4.1. Technical (essential). These are needed for the website to work, select a language, authenticate users, and retain settings. Browser local storage may also be used for these purposes. Without this data, some features may be unavailable.

4.2. Analytics. Plausible and VK Pixel are used to analyse website traffic. Yandex Metrica and Google Tag Manager may also be enabled when configured and when the user has consented. These services help us understand which sections are useful and what can be improved; the set of files and technical data used may change.

5. Purposes and legal grounds

Data is used to operate accounts, the library and reader, provide access to purchased books, process comments, and assess content quality and website usability. The grounds are providing features requested by the user, consent to optional analytics, and the legitimate interest in keeping the website operational.

6. Retention period

How long cookies and browser data are retained depends on their type and your browser settings; some last only for a session. Account, library, and purchase data is retained for as long as needed to provide the relevant features and user access.
