Cookie policy
What cookies are
Cookies are small files that your browser stores on your device. The website also uses localStorage — the browser’s built-in storage. Controller: EPIL Studio Comrat (Str. Tretiacov 22, Comrat, Moldova; epilstudio.comrat@gmail.com).
This policy is prepared in accordance with: Law of the Republic of Moldova No. 195/2024 on personal data protection (in force since 23 August 2026), and the legislation of the Republic of Moldova on electronic communications. We ask for consent to non-essential cookies before they are set. Last updated: 19 October 2026.

Advertising (marketing) cookies, social network pixels and profiling are not currently used on the website. If introduced, we will ask for separate consent.
Analytics scripts do not receive your name, phone, e-mail or the text of your messages: these are not entered on the website.
Necessary cookies
This data is needed for functions you requested (language, theme, remembering your cookie choice), so it is set without consent. It cannot be switched off in the banner but can be deleted in your browser settings — language and theme will be reset.
Analytics technologies (consent only)
Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity are loaded only after you click “Accept” or enable the “Analytics” category in cookie settings. They may process cookie identifiers, IP address, browser and device information, pages visited and actions on the site. Data may be transferred outside Moldova (including the EU and the USA) on the basis of safeguards provided by law and your consent.
Provider policies: Google, Microsoft.
External content
Regardless of the cookie banner, when some pages are displayed your browser connects to third-party servers, which receive your IP address and technical request data and may set their own cookies:
- Google Maps — the map on the “Contacts” page;
- Instagram — embedded posts;
- YouTube — videos embedded in site content;
- images and previews from Instagram/TikTok in the social feed.
The site’s fonts are hosted on our own server and are not loaded from Google. For speed and offline use, the site keeps a cache of static files (PWA) in your browser — it contains no personal data.
How to manage your consent
- click “Cookie settings” at the bottom of the site and enable or disable a category — at any time; withdrawing is as easy as consenting;
- delete cookies and site data in your browser settings;
- use “Do Not Track”/blockers — the site will keep working.
Declining analytics does not restrict access to the site. Your choice is stored in your browser; the banner will appear again if the set of technologies changes.
Your rights
The rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and withdrawal of consent are described in the Privacy Policy.
