Important Notice

RuCookie is a technical tool that helps website owners display a cookie notice and provide consent choices. The plugin does not guarantee compliance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ or any other legal requirement. The website owner is responsible for selecting the appropriate settings, legal basis, and document text. Consult a qualified legal professional when necessary.

External Services

RuCookie does not connect to the developer’s servers.

If a site administrator enables the integration and enters a Yandex Metrica counter ID, the visitor’s browser downloads the Metrica tag from https://mc.yandex.ru/ according to the selected loading mode. Yandex Metrica provides website analytics. Data sent to Yandex and its applicable terms depend on the counter configuration chosen by the site administrator.
