Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files that a website leaves in your browser so it doesn't have to ask every time "what language do you use?" or "have you already seen this banner?". Thanks to them, your settings are preserved between sessions, and we can see in our statistics what works and what doesn't.

On the profscale.com website, in addition to classic cookies, we use similar technologies — your browser's local storage and session identifiers. Everything set out below applies to them in the same way.

2. How we use cookies

On profscale.com, cookies are used to:

• store your choice regarding cookie consent so as not to ask again;
• store your language preferences (Ukrainian or English);
• ensure the basic functionality of interactive elements — the contact form, calculators, and the language switcher;
• anonymously collect attendance statistics — which pages are viewed, for how long, and which sources visitors come from.

3. Which cookies we use

3.1. Technical (necessary)

Required for the basic operation of the Website. Without them, the Website cannot function correctly, so their use does not require your separate consent.

• cookie-consent — stores your choice regarding the cookie consent banner. Retention period — up to 12 months.
• locale — remembers the selected interface language (uk / en). Retention period — up to 12 months.
• technical session identifiers — valid only until the browser is closed.

3.2. Analytical

They help us understand how visitors use the Website, which pages are popular, and where difficulties arise. The data is processed in aggregated form and is not used to identify individual persons. They are set only after your consent.

• Web analytics service — collects de-identified information about visits: IP address (masked), device type, pages, time spent, and referral source. The data is used solely in aggregated form to improve the Website.

3.3. Marketing

As of the date of this version, the Website does not use third-party marketing or advertising cookies (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, etc.). If we add such tools in the future, we will update this Policy and ask for your consent again.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set not by us, but by the services we use. Currently, these are:

• Web analytics service — for attendance statistics. The data is processed by the provider in accordance with its privacy policy.

If embedded elements from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, or other platforms appear on the Website, they may set their own cookies, which are subject to the respective policies of those services.

5. Consent and its withdrawal

When you first visit the Website, you see a cookie banner where you can:

• accept all cookies;
• decline optional ones (in which case analytics will not run);
• configure individual categories.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing the site's cookies in your browser settings, after which the banner will appear again.

6. How to manage cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Instructions for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies;
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security;
• Safari — Preferences → Privacy;
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions;
• Opera — Settings → Privacy & security.

Please note: if you block all cookies, some Website features (for example, remembering your language or the correct operation of forms) may be limited.

7. Browser local storage

In addition to classic cookies, we use the browser's localStorage to store:

• cookie consent status;
• the selected language;
• technical interface flags — for example, whether you have seen the introductory message.

This data is stored solely on your device and is not transmitted to our server.

8. Changes to the Cookie Policy

We may amend this Policy — for example, when we add new analytics tools or remove outdated ones. The current version is always posted on this page with an updated date.

9. Contacts
