This Cookie Policy explains how Tamar Chanidze (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on tamarchanidze.com (the “Website”).
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files used to store bits of information. They are stored on your device when the Website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help us ensure the Website functions properly, enhance its security, improve the user experience, and analyze its performance to identify what works and what needs improvement.
In addition to cookies, we may use related tracking technologies such as pixels, beacons, tags, and scripts. These technologies function similarly to cookies and are used for analytics, advertising, and operational purposes.
How Do We Use Cookies?
Our Website uses first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes:
First-party cookies are set by our Website to ensure it functions properly. These include session cookies and preferences like language or consent choices.
Third-party cookies are set by services we use, such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google PageSpeed Insights through Site Kit. These help us track user behavior anonymously and improve the overall user experience.
Cookies on our Website do not store personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through forms. For more information on how we handle your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Necessary
These cookies are essential to enable basic Website features such as secure login, remembering consent preferences, and enabling core functionality. These do not store any personally identifiable data.
2. Functional
Functional cookies enable specific features, such as allowing users to submit forms or interact with embedded content (e.g., blog comments). They may also support sharing content via third-party social platforms.
3. Analytics
We use analytics cookies via Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google PageSpeed Insights (through Site Kit) to collect data that helps us understand how visitors engage with our content and where we can improve.
Google Analytics uses cookies to track user behavior on our site, such as pages visited, time spent, bounce rate, and user interactions. It also collects technical data such as browser type, device information, and operating system. While it temporarily processes IP addresses to determine approximate geolocation, full IP addresses are not stored, as IP anonymization is automatically applied.
Google Search Console provides insights into how users find our site via search engines, including data on search queries, clicks, impressions, and device usage.
Google PageSpeed Insights measures how fast our Website loads on different devices and provides performance-related data to help improve our site’s speed.
4. Performance
These cookies track key performance metrics like load times and responsiveness to ensure a smooth user experience. They do not store personal data.
5. Advertisement
Advertisement cookies assess the effectiveness of ad campaigns, measure user engagement with banners or affiliate placements, and deliver more relevant, personalized ads—when appropriate consent is provided.
Retention of Cookies
Some cookies are deleted once you close your browser (session cookies), while others (persistent cookies) remain on your device for a set period—typically from 1 day to 2 years—depending on their purpose, unless manually deleted.
Third-Country Data Transfers
Some of the services we use, like Google Analytics, may transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These providers use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to comply with data protection laws.
