Cookie Policy
What is stored in your browser when you visit kanon.ge, what is loaded only with your consent, and how to change that decision.
Version of 27 September 2026
In short
Analytics and advertising tags are loaded only with your consent. Until you press "Accept" in the notice at the bottom of the page, the site sets no cookies at all and tells nobody about your visit.
If you consent, Yandex Metrica, Google Analytics and the Google Ads tag are loaded. Metrica shows us which material people read and where on a page they lose interest, Analytics how many people come and from where, and the Google Ads tag which ads bring us clients. You can change the decision at any time - the button is below.
What is stored without your consent
Two technical entries in your browser's local storage. They are not sent to the server and do not identify you.
| Entry | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
lhg-lang | The language you chose in the switcher. Without it the site would ask for a language on every visit. | until you clear your browser |
kanon-consent | Your answer to the cookie question - accepted or declined. Without it the question would come up on every visit. | until you clear your browser |
Both entries are created by your own action and are strictly necessary: under data protection law such entries do not require separate consent.
What is added after consent
Yandex Metrica, counter no. 112790978. It sets the following cookies on the kanon.ge domain:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ym_uid | An anonymised browser identifier - distinguishes a return visit from a new one. | 1 year |
_ym_d | The date of the first visit. | 1 year |
_ym_isad | Whether an ad blocker is present in the browser. | 2 days |
_ym_visorc | The current session recording by Webvisor. | 30 minutes |
mdd | A service entry created when Yandex's servers are contacted. | session |
The lifetimes are set by Yandex and may be changed without our involvement.
What exactly is collected
- anonymised details of the visit: pages viewed, referral source, language, screen resolution, approximate city from the IP address;
- session recording (Webvisor): cursor movement, scrolling and clicks - showing how a person reads the page;
- a click map and scroll depth.
An enquiry sent through the form goes to our server in a separate request and is not passed to Metrica. If you do not want your actions on the page recorded, press "Decline" - nothing will be recorded.
Who receives the data
It is collected and stored by Yandex, and the requests go to mc.yandex.ru servers in Russia. Besides producing statistics for us, Yandex processes this data for its own purposes, including advertising, on the terms of its user agreement. If that is unacceptable to you, press "Decline": then not a single request to Yandex will be made from this site.
Google Analytics
The Google Analytics counter, ID G-6M4L4Z94X7. It shows how many people visit the site, where they come from and which pages they view, and records when an enquiry is sent or a contact link is clicked - without their content. The counter sets the following cookies on the kanon.ge domain:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | An anonymised browser identifier - tells one visitor from another. | 2 years |
_ga_6M4L4Z94X7 | The state of the current visit for this counter. | 2 years |
Analytics data is not used to show you ads. The requests go to Google's servers (Google LLC, USA) on the same terms as described below for Google Ads.
Google Ads
The Google Ads tag, ID AW-18465225504. It shows which ads bring people to the site and which of them lead to an enquiry, a message or a call, so that we do not pay for advertising that does not work. The tag sets the following cookies on the kanon.ge domain:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | An anonymised browser identifier - links a visit to Google advertising. | 90 days |
_gcl_aw | A marker of arrival from a Google ad. Created only if you came from an ad. | 90 days |
Google receives the page address, the referral source, your IP address and browser details, and, when the form is sent or a WhatsApp, Telegram, phone or email link is clicked, a note that this happened. Google does not receive the content of the enquiry or of your messages, your name or your contacts. Showing you ads based on your visit to the site (remarketing) is switched off.
The requests go to Google's servers (Google LLC, USA), and the data is processed on the terms of Google's privacy policy. The cookie lifetimes are set by Google. If you press "Decline", not a single request to Google will be made from this site.
How to change your decision
The button brings back the notice at the bottom of the page so you can answer again.
If you withdraw consent, the Metrica, Google Analytics and Google Ads cookies on the kanon.ge domain are deleted immediately. Data collected before the withdrawal stays with Yandex and Google - its deletion is requested from them.
How to check this
Do not take our word for it - check. Open your browser's developer tools, section Application → Storage. Until consent is given, the Cookies list for kanon.ge will be empty, and in Local Storage you will see the entries named above.
How to delete it
Clear the site data in your browser settings, or delete the entries by hand in the same developer tools section. The site will keep working: the language will follow your browser settings and the cookie question will appear again.
External services
Images, styles, fonts and scripts are loaded from our own server. Until you give consent, there are no third-party services on these pages - nothing that would receive your IP address. You can check this in the same developer tools: the network tab will show no requests to outside domains.
No social network widgets, maps or live chats are used on the site.
