## 1. General

This Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies may be used on **l2.top** and for what purposes.

For the purposes of this Policy, **cookies** also include technically similar tools such as pixels, tags, browser storage (`localStorage`, `sessionstorage`), server logs, session identifiers, technical browser or device identifiers, and other tools that help operate the website, analyse its use, and protect it against abuse.

This Policy should be read together with the **Privacy Policy** and other rules published on l2.top.

## 2. What technologies may be used

The website may use the following categories of technologies:

### 2.1. Strictly necessary
Used for the basic operation of the website, account login, session management, form protection, account features, technical settings, limiting repeated actions, and security.

### 2.2. Analytics
Used to understand how visitors use the website, which pages are most useful, where errors occur, and how the interface and functionality can be improved.

### 2.3. Advertising and measurement
May be used to measure advertising effectiveness, conversions, retargeting, frequency control, and interactions with advertising platforms.

### 2.4. Anti-fraud and security
May be used to prevent automated activity, vote manipulation, repeated submissions, circumvention of restrictions, suspicious behaviour, attacks on the website, and other abuse.

## 3. What services may be used

The website may use its own technical solutions as well as third-party services, including, among other things:

- **Yandex Metrica**;
- **Google Analytics / Google tag**;
- **VK Pixel / VK Ads**;
- other similar analytics, advertising, technical, or anti-fraud tools.

The list of services used on the website may change from time to time without separate notice where this is permitted by applicable law.

## 4. What data may be collected through these technologies

Depending on the specific scenario, the following may be collected:

- IP address and connection-related technical data;
- browser, device, session, or visit identifiers;
- information about browser, operating system, language, time zone, and screen resolution;
- page URLs, visit time, referrer, events, and on-site actions;
- login data, voting actions, form submissions, clicks, and technical errors;
- browser storage data;
- technical signals and parameters used for anti-fraud and website protection, including indicators of repeated or suspicious behaviour.

Where such information, alone or together with other data, can directly or indirectly identify a user, it may be treated as personal data and processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

## 5. Why these technologies are used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes:

- operating the website and its sections;
- account login and maintaining user sessions;
- storing interface settings and technical preferences;
- traffic analytics and website improvement;
- measuring advertising and promotional effectiveness;
- protecting the website, users, and infrastructure;
- combating manipulation, spam, fraud, and restriction bypassing;
- pursuing the legitimate interests of the website administration where permitted by applicable law.

## 6. Legal basis for use

Strictly necessary technologies may be used without additional confirmation to the extent required for the operation of the website, security, abuse prevention, and responding to user requests.

Analytics, advertising, and other non-essential technologies may be used based on user consent, continued use after notice, banner or consent-manager settings, or another lawful basis — depending on the model required by applicable law and the website configuration in place at the relevant time.

## 7. Managing cookies

Users may manage cookies and similar technologies in the following ways:

- through browser settings;
- through browser data-clearing tools;
- through a banner, notice, or consent management panel on the website, if available;
- through opt-out or limitation tools provided by relevant third-party services.

Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.

## 8. Sharing data with third parties

Data obtained through cookies and similar technologies may be accessible to providers of analytics, advertising, technical, anti-fraud, hosting, and related services to the extent needed for their operation.

Where the website uses external services, part of the technical data may be processed on the side of those services in accordance with their own rules and settings.

## 9. Cross-border aspect

Because the website may use international analytics, advertising, content delivery, protection, and infrastructure services, some cookie-related data may be processed using infrastructure located in different jurisdictions, where this is not prohibited by applicable law.

## 10. Changes to this Policy

The website administration may amend this Policy at any time. A new version becomes applicable from the moment it is published on the website unless stated otherwise in that version.
