Cookie policy

Below is the policy published on the previous website, translated from Bulgarian. This website shows no ads and does not use Google Analytics.

We use cookies or similar tools on our websites to improve their performance and your experience. This policy explains how we do this.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your computer or mobile device when you visit a page or a site. A cookie helps the site, or other sites, recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons and other similar files can do the same. In this policy we use the term cookies for all files that collect information in this way.

Cookies serve many different purposes. For example, they help us remember your username or preferences, analyse how well our websites perform, or even let us recommend content we think will interest you.

Some cookies contain personal information – for example, if you clicked "Remember me" when logging in to your account, the cookie will remember your username. Most cookies do not collect information that can identify you, but rather general information about how users reach and use our websites, or about their location.

What kinds of cookies are used?

In general, cookies serve 4 different purposes:

1. Essential cookies
   Some cookies are vital for our websites to work. They let us identify registered users and our paying subscribers, and they ensure these users have the right level of access to the articles and sections of the sites. If a subscriber switches these cookies off, they will not have access to subscriber-only content.
2. Performance cookies
   We use other cookies to analyse how visitors use our sites and to monitor how our site performs. This lets us offer you a high-quality experience by personalising the content and by finding and fixing problems quickly. For example, we might use cookies to see which pages are most popular, or to show you content we think may interest you based on how you use the site.
3. Functional cookies
   Functional cookies let us remember your preferences, such as the font size and other personal settings. For example, cookies save you the time and effort of entering your username every time you visit our page.
4. Behaviourally targeted advertising cookies
   This site and our advertisers use cookies to show you ads we believe are relevant to your interests. For example, if you have read several articles about cars on other sites, a car maker may assume you are interested in the subject and show you its car ads. You may see these ads both on our sites and on other sites you visit. But we do not disclose your identity to our advertisers.
   
   For behaviourally targeted advertising we use a Google Inc. service called remarketing. According to Google's own policy, Google does not collect personal data in this process. If you nevertheless do not wish to be subject to remarketing, you can switch it off by changing your settings at this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads. You can also switch off the use of cookies for behaviourally targeted advertising by following the instructions on this page: https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Does anyone else use cookies on our sites?

Advertisers sometimes use their own cookies to show you targeted ads. For example, advertisers may use a profile based on the sites you visited earlier to show you more relevant ads when you visit our sites. We believe it is useful for our users to see ads aimed at their interests.

We use, or allow third parties to use, cookies on our sites that fall into the four categories mentioned above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to monitor the traffic on our sites. Also, when you share an article using the social network buttons (for example Facebook) on one of our sites, the social network that made the button will record that action.

We may use third-party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions and our copyright policy.

How do you switch cookies off?

If you are most concerned about third-party advertising cookies set by advertisers, you can switch them off here: Your Online Choices site.

Please remember that if you switch cookies off, some sections of our site may not work properly.

No, the cookies we use are anonymous and contain no personal data.
