Cookie Policy
1. General provisions
1.1. This Policy describes which cookies the sites pingine.by and pinjoy.by (each of them the Site) of HardForward LLC (ООО «ХардФорвард», UNP 193939861, 6 Skryganova St., premises 7, 220073 Minsk; the Operator) uses, why, and how to manage them.
1.2. Cookies are small pieces of data a site keeps in the browser. The Site keeps them in the browser’s local storage (localStorage), which works the same way; this Policy calls both cookies.
1.3. Everything else about personal data processing, including your rights, is described in the Personal Data Processing Policy.
2. Cookies the Site uses
| Name | Type | Purpose | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| pt_consent, pt_consent_at | Necessary | Remember your choice in the cookie window and its date | The choice lasts 6 months, after which the Site asks again |
| pt_vid | Analytics | Random visitor number for statistics | While the consent is valid, no longer than 6 months; deleted if you decline |
| pt_sid_pingine (pingine.by), pt_sid_park-erp (pinjoy.by) | Analytics | Number of the current visit; a new visit starts after 30 minutes of inactivity | While the consent is valid, no longer than 6 months; deleted if you decline |
The Site uses no third-party cookies, advertising pixels or external counters (Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica and the like).
3. Necessary and analytics cookies
3.1. Necessary cookies let the Site remember your choice. They are kept without consent and are not sent to the server.
3.2. Analytics cookies are kept only after you press “Got it” in the cookie window, turn analytics cookies on in its settings, or turn statistics on in clause 4.2. Then the Operator’s server in the Republic of Belarus receives: pages and sections viewed and actions on them (clicks, scrolling, time, copying and printing, filling in the form without the text typed), whether this is a first visit, referral source and campaign tags, device type, browser, operating system, language, screen size, time zone and the country derived from it, technical page errors. IP addresses are not recorded in the statistics.
3.3. The Operator uses this data to see, in aggregate, which sections of the Site are useful and, if you sent a request, where you came from and which sections and questions you viewed before it. Processing is automated: collection, storage, use for statistics, deletion. The legal ground is your consent (Article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus “On Personal Data Protection”).
3.4. Without consent no analytics cookies are kept, but the visit is counted anonymously: when the visitor leaves, the Operator’s server receives once pages and sections and actions on them (clicks, scrolling, copying and printing), the time of the visit to the hour, the site the visitor came from, the source, medium and campaign tags, device type, browser, operating system, time zone and the country derived from it, technical page errors. Starting to fill in the form is counted only in a daily total. No visitor or visit number is created, IP addresses are not recorded in this data, and the visit is not linked to a request. This data cannot identify the visitor, so it needs no consent. It is kept for 1 year.
4. How to give, change or withdraw consent
4.1. On your first visit the Site shows a cookie window with a link to this Policy, a “Got it” button and a “Cookie settings” link. Pressing “Got it” means consent to analytics cookies. The “Cookie settings” link opens the settings: necessary cookies are always on, analytics cookies can be turned on or left off and kept with “Save choice”, while “Accept all” turns all cookies on. Until you consent, no analytics cookies are kept and the visit is counted only anonymously (clause 3.4).
4.2. You can change your choice or withdraw consent at any time: with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the Site, which opens the same settings, or with the buttons below. If you decline, analytics cookies are deleted from the browser, the Operator deletes the data collected under the visitor number from the server within 15 days, and further visits are counted only anonymously (clause 3.4).
Detailed statistics are off right now.
4.3. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings by clearing the Site’s data. The Site will then ask again on your next visit.
4.4. Declining has no other effect: the Site works fully, including the request form.
4.5. The consent lasts 6 months. Then the Site deletes the visitor number from the browser and asks again, and the Operator erases that number from the collected data.
5. Consent records
Each choice is recorded on the Operator’s server: date and time, the choice, the version of the window text and the page, and with consent the random visitor number. These records prove that consent was given and are kept for 1 year and 6 months.
