SocNet Store's Cookie Policy: essential, analytics, and referral cookies explained, plus how to manage your cookie preferences and browser settings.
Last updated: 25.08.2026. This Cookie Policy explains how the SOCNET STORE digital goods marketplace ("Platform", "we") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit socnet.store, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. 1. What Are Cookies Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and support certain functions such as staying logged in or keeping items in your cart. We also use similar technologies (such as local storage) for the same purposes; references to "cookies" in this Policy cover these as well. 2. Types of Cookies We Use 2.1. Essential (technical) cookies These cookies are necessary for the Platform to work and cannot be switched off. They handle authorization and session management, keep your cart contents, and remember your selected interface language, display currency, and light/dark theme. Without these cookies, core functions such as logging in and placing an order will not work. These cookies last for the duration of your session or up to 12 months. 2.2. Analytics cookies We use Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica to understand how visitors interact with the Platform — which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and general behavior patterns. This helps us identify problems and improve the site. These cookies are optional, only set with your consent, and last up to 12 months. 2.3. Referral cookies When you arrive on the Platform through a referral link, a cookie records that click — for up to 30 days — so a resulting purchase can be correctly attributed if you register. Once you create an account, attribution of future orders to the referrer is tied to your account rather than to this cookie, consistent with our Referral Program Terms. You can decline this cookie, but doing so may prevent your referrer from being credited for your registration. 2.4. Marketing cookies (where enabled) If used, these cookies help measure the effectiveness of promotions and campaigns. They are optional, only set with your consent, and last up to 12 months. 3. Third-Party Cookies Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, rather than directly by SOCNET STORE. These currently include Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica for analytics, and our payment providers (see the Privacy Policy for the full list) during checkout. These third parties may process data collected via cookies according to their own privacy policies. 4. How to Manage Cookies 4.1. Consent banner. When you first visit the Platform, you can accept or decline optional (non-essential) cookies through the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link in the site footer. 4.2. Browser settings. Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies through their settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions, as the exact steps vary by browser and device. 4.3. Effect of disabling cookies. Blocking essential cookies will prevent core functions of the Platform from working, including logging in and completing an order. Blocking analytics or referral cookies does not affect your ability to use the Platform, but may affect referral reward attribution for purchases made before you register an account. 5. Changes to This Policy We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a cookie category or change a third-party provider. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. 6.
