This Cookie Policy explains how memory.education and the Memory Development Center brand, operated by Bohdan Rudenko, use cookies and similar technologies on memory.education.

This summary gives the key points. The numbered sections below contain the full text, and they govern.

What do we use? One local consent record, optional statistics and marketing categories, and YouTube players that ask separately before connecting to Google. Tag Manager and statistics are currently disabled while their configuration is updated; Meta Pixel is paused.

Do we need your consent? Optional analytics and advertising tracking require your prior consent. Browsing the website is not consent to them.

How do you change your choice? Reopen Cookie settings on the website. Browser controls can additionally remove cookies already stored.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include pixels, scripts, tags, local storage, and chat or analytics tools.

The website integrates technologies for the following purposes:

• make the website function properly;
• remember preferences;
• measure traffic and website performance;
• improve site reliability and security;
• manage analytics and advertising-related measurement.

• Local consent banner: Store your choice in one localStorage entry, memory.education.consent, with the category version and date. It expires after 12 months; a change of categories or activation of a paused, disabled or new provider also requires a new choice.
• Video permission: Remember, in one sessionStorage entry, memory.education.video, that you allowed YouTube videos during this visit. It is deleted when you close the browser tab or choose Reject all in Cookie settings.
• Google Tag Manager: Load approved tags only after consent to statistics or marketing. Currently disabled while its configuration is updated.
• Google Analytics: Website traffic and session measurement with statistics consent, once Tag Manager is enabled.
• Microsoft Clarity: Analyse visitor interactions, including heatmaps and session playback, with statistics consent once Tag Manager is enabled.
• Meta Pixel: Advertising-related measurement and visitor tracking; currently paused. Enabling it requires marketing consent.
• YouTube: Display externally hosted videos, including testimonials; playback connects to Google’s services.

The website libraries, fonts and video preview images are served from memory.education. Loading a YouTube player or an enabled optional tag connects to an external provider. A connection is distinct from placing a cookie; both device operations and personal-data processing need an appropriate basis.

These entries identify services, not a measured inventory of every cookie or storage item and its lifetime. Microsoft identifies CLID as a Microsoft Clarity identifier in its cookie documentation; it is not a Dstillery identifier. Provider documentation and a cookie declaration do not establish which items are actually set during your visit.

These support functions that are strictly necessary to provide a service you expressly request, or serve solely to transmit a communication. Only storage or access covered by a statutory exception is exempt from the consent requirement; a useful tool is not automatically strictly necessary.

These help us understand how visitors use the site and improve performance.

These support advertising measurement, retargeting, or campaign analysis. Meta Pixel is currently paused. Marketing consent does not by itself enable advertising campaigns.

The website shows locally stored previews of YouTube videos. The first video you open in a visit shows a notice without connecting to Google. Choosing Load and play video permits the YouTube players on this website to connect to Google, receive technical connection information and use cookies or similar technologies. This permission lasts until you close the browser tab or choose Reject all in Cookie settings; it does not enable site statistics or marketing. Google’s Privacy Policy describes its platform processing. To stop a player, close the video. To remove cookies already stored by an external provider, use your browser controls.

Some technologies are loaded directly and others through Google Tag Manager. The identified providers and personal-data handling are described in our Privacy Policy. Provider connections and international transfers require assessment even where no cookie is set.

Open Cookie settings in the footer to review or change your choices. The first layer offers Accept all, Reject all and Settings with equal visual weight. Settings offers separate statistics and marketing choices, initially off, and Save choices. Necessary storage is always on. Browsing the website is not consent. Optional tags and Tag Manager wait for the applicable choice; YouTube players ask separately.

To withdraw optional consent, reopen Cookie settings and choose Reject all, or turn off a category and save. Reject all also ends permission for YouTube videos. If optional scripts or a video are running, the page reloads to stop them and apply your choice. The site also removes accessible first-party analytics and marketing cookies for disabled categories. Browser controls can additionally remove previously stored cookies, including external providers’ cookies; deleting cookies alone is different from changing a consent choice. Rejecting optional tracking does not prevent you from contacting us by email. If browser storage is unavailable, your choice cannot be remembered and you will be asked again on the next page.

Disabling some technologies may affect functionality.

Most browsers let you:

• block certain cookies,
• delete stored cookies,
• notify you before cookies are placed,
• limit site-specific tracking.

Check your browser’s help documentation for details.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or technical changes.
