When you visit the website of our wooden wall bars manufacturer, you almost always leave a small digital trace behind β tiny text files that your browser stores on your device. This page explains what those files are, why an online shop needs them and what happens if you decide to refuse them.
There is nothing frightening about cookies β they are a standard technology that the modern internet relies on. Without them, your browser would "forget" every time that you had already chosen a delivery city, added a product to the cart or closed a pop-up window.
What cookies are, in plain words
A cookie is a small set of data that a website sends to your browser on your first visit. The browser stores it locally and sends it back with every subsequent request to the same site. In effect, it is a note the site leaves for itself through the visitor's computer or phone, so that it can "recognise" you next time.
Such a note usually holds no name or passport details, but technical information: a session identifier, the selected region, the contents of the cart, the fact that you accepted the privacy policy. A cookie cannot read documents from your device on its own, run programs or infect your computer with a virus β it is simply text.
Cookies are tied to a specific browser and device. If the same person visits the site from a phone and from a laptop, the site treats these as two different "visits" until the visitor signs in identically on both devices.
The types of cookies
Cookies are usually grouped by purpose. This distinction matters, because some of them cannot be disabled without breaking the site, while others can safely be restricted in your browser settings.
Strictly necessary cookies
This category is responsible for the basic operation of the site: keeping products in the cart, displaying the catalogue after filtering, running the contact form, remembering your consent to the personal data processing policy. Without them, the online shop would turn into a set of disconnected pages that forget the visitor's actions from one click to the next.
Functional cookies
These handle convenience: they remember the chosen city, currency, previously viewed models and the state of the catalogue filters. Disabling these files will not break the site completely, but it will force you to set your preferences again on every visit.
Analytical cookies
These are needed to understand how visitors use the site: which catalogue sections are viewed more often, where people linger and at which step they abandon the cart. For this purpose we use the Yandex.Metrica counter with the Webvisor feature β a tool that shows, in anonymised form, the navigation path across pages and helps us find awkward spots in the interface. Analytics does not tie the data to anyone's surname or phone number; it works with anonymised visit statistics.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Storage period |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Cart, forms, sign-in and policy consent | Session-based or up to 12 months |
| Functional | Remembering city, currency and catalogue settings | Up to 12 months |
| Analytical (Yandex.Metrica) | Visit statistics, Webvisor, usability assessment | Up to 24 months |
| Third-party (partner services) | Operation of embedded widgets and third-party counters | Set by the rules of each service |
Why the site needs cookies at all
The main reason is the visitor's own convenience. If a person is choosing wall bars for an apartment, compares several models and leaves without placing an order, cookies make it possible to keep the selected products in the cart and the pages already viewed, so you can come back and continue from the same place rather than starting your search over.
The second reason is analytics. Understanding which models visitors are most interested in, which catalogue sections cause difficulties and at which checkout step people most often change their minds helps us improve the site: simplify forms, add missing information about specifications and speed up page loading.
How long cookies last: session and persistent
By storage period, cookies fall into two kinds.
- Session cookies exist only while the browser tab is open. As soon as the tab is closed, such files are deleted automatically. They usually handle the cart and the current checkout step.
- Persistent cookies are kept on the device for a set period: from a few days to two years, depending on their purpose. These are the ones that remember the previously chosen delivery city or the fact that the visitor has already seen the consent banner.
Once the set period expires, a persistent file is deleted automatically without any action from the visitor. Earlier deletion is possible manually through the browser settings at any time.
Third-party cookies
In addition to the files set directly by the site, so-called third-party cookies may reach your browser β they are placed by connected external services: the statistics counter, the online consultant widget, the route map, an embedded video. Each such service works under its own data processing rules, which the manufacturer's site does not control directly.
These services are added only to improve the work of the online shop β for example, to let you quickly write in chat or watch a demonstration of a wall bars assembly on video β and not to pass personal information to outside organisations.
No third-party service on the site gains access to payment details, passport information or the content of correspondence with a buyer β that information is processed separately and under different rules set out in the privacy policy.
How to disable cookies in your browser
You can manage cookies yourself β it is done in the browser settings, without contacting the site owner. Below is a general description of the steps for the most common browsers, since the exact location of the menu items changes from time to time with updates.
Google Chrome
Open the browser menu (usually the three-dot icon in the top-right corner), go to settings and then to the subsection that deals with privacy and security. There you will find the item about cookies and other site data β you can choose a full block, block only third-party cookies or delete records already saved for individual sites.
Mozilla Firefox
The browser settings include a privacy and protection section. There you set the tracking blocking level β standard, strict or manually customised. The same place lets you view the list of saved cookies by individual sites and delete specific records without touching the rest.
Safari
In the browser settings (on a computer β in the privacy section, on a mobile device β in the system settings of the app) you can switch off cookies from third-party resources, block all cookies completely, or delete a specific site's data through the website data management section.
Microsoft Edge
The settings section devoted to cookies and site permissions lets you choose one of three modes: allow all cookies, block only third-party ones or block them entirely. From there you can also view and delete cookies saved for individual addresses.
What happens if you disable cookies
Blocking cookies completely will not prevent access to the site, but it will noticeably change how convenient it is to use. Products added to the cart will no longer be saved as you move between pages, the order form may ask for the same details again, and the previously chosen delivery city will have to be entered on every visit.
If you disable only analytical cookies, you will notice nothing in your own use of the site β the only change is that your actions will no longer be counted in the visit statistics. This has no effect on catalogue functionality, checkout or viewing product cards.
Browsing the catalogue and choosing a particular model is a separate matter. For example, when comparing options such as sport wall bars for active training or wall bars with a pull-up bar for a full strength-training set, disabled cookies will not stop you from viewing the specifications and prices, but your browsing history and saved items will not persist between sessions.
Consent to the use of cookies
On your first visit, a notice appears telling you that cookies are used. Continuing to use the site β moving between catalogue pages, using the filters, submitting a request β is regarded as consent to their use to the extent described on this page, in accordance with the personal data protection legislation of the Republic of Belarus.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time by changing the browser settings or deleting previously saved files. This requires no contact with the support team and is not connected with terminating any contractual relationship β cookies are not part of the sale contract and do not affect the manufacturer's warranty obligations.
Questions not directly related to the use of cookies β for example, about an order status, model specifications or wholesale cooperation terms β are best sent through the contacts section /en/#contacts, where the current ways to get in touch are listed.
Changes to this cookie policy
The rules on using cookies may be supplemented β for example, when a new analytical tool is connected or when legal requirements change. The current version of the page is always available at this same address and requires no separate request or newsletter subscription.
A revision of the rules is not retroactive: changes apply only to the data processing that takes place after the new version is published. Previously collected anonymised statistics are not altered by this and are not reviewed after the fact.
For those choosing a wooden structure for the home on their own β whether a compact option for a small apartment or a reinforced model for intensive training β cookies add no further restrictions: the catalogue, prices and model cards are available under any browser privacy setting.
