This Cookie Policy ("the Policy") concerns the use of cookies and other similar technologies that allow for storing and accessing information on your terminal device when visiting and navigating the website https://www.valkov-genova.com("the Website"). The Policy explains what cookies are and how they are used, and provides information regarding the types of cookies used on the Website, their functions, and the ways in which you can exercise control over their use.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Privacy Policy of Valkov, Genova & Co. Law Firm, published on the Website. This Cookie Policy is an integral part of the Privacy Policy regarding the use of the Website.
Strictly necessary technologies are used without your consent, because the Website cannot work without them. Google Analytics cookies are set only if you give your explicit consent through the cookie banner. You can refuse or withdraw your consent at any time without this limiting your access to the Website.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser by the website you visit. They are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) and allow the Website to "remember" your actions and preferences (such as language, font size, and other display settings) over a certain period of time.
Cookies can be:
Session cookies: Erased when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a specific period of time or until you delete them manually.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
The only third party that may set cookies through the Website is Google, and only if you have consented to analytics cookies. The Website does not embed third-party content (videos, maps, fonts or social media) that would set its own cookies.
Google Analytics 4: A web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use it to understand how visitors use the Website (which pages they view, where they come from and whether they send an enquiry) and to improve its content. Google Signals and ad personalisation are switched off, and we do not use the data for advertising.
Data collected through Google Analytics may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. Google LLC participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can find more information about how Google processes data here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Besides the cookie banner, you can also block Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on by following the instructions at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881.
HOW WE USE COOKIES
We use cookies for several purposes, which can be divided into the following categories:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential): These cookies are essential for you to be able to use the Website and its features. Without these cookies, services such as saving contact information or remembering cookie settings cannot be provided.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies (Statistical): These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website - for example, which pages they visit most often and where they come from. They help us improve the operation of the Website and are used only with your consent.
The Website does not use advertising or profiling cookies. The language is determined by the page address (the English version is under /en), not by a cookie. The light or dark theme follows your device setting. A different choice is remembered only if you make it yourself with the switch (see vg_theme below).
TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE
1. Strictly Necessary Technologies
These technologies are essential for the proper functioning of the Website and cannot be switched off. They contain no information that identifies you.

vg_theme (browser local storage): Remembers the light or dark theme you selected for the Website when it differs from your device setting. It is stored only if you use the theme switch and is kept until you clear your browser data.
2. Analytical and Statistical Cookies (Require Consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 to collect statistical data on how visitors use our Website. These cookies and technologies are set only after your explicit consent.

_ga_<identifier> (Provider: Google Analytics): Keeps the state of the current session. Retention period is 2 years.
vg_attribution (browser session storage): Remembers how you reached the Website (for example an advertising campaign or a referring site) so that we know which channels lead to enquiries. It is deleted when you close the browser tab.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.
