Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) explains how the website rbesolov.com (the “Website”) uses cookies and similar technologies, what data is processed, and how you can manage your settings.

Personal data is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), Directive 2002/58/EC on privacy in the electronic communications sector (the “ePrivacy Directive”) as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC, and the applicable law of the Republic of Bulgaria (Personal Data Protection Act).

Last updated: 24 June 2026.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences for a period of time.

Alongside cookies, similar technologies may be used: browser local and session storage, web beacons (pixels) and software development kits (SDKs). For brevity, all of these are referred to as “cookies” in this Policy.

• First-party and third-party. First-party cookies are set by the rbesolov.com domain; third-party cookies are set by external providers (for example, analytics services or embedded videos).
• Session and persistent. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies are stored for a set period.

Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of the controller’s legitimate interest in operating and securing the Website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and fall under the “strictly necessary” exemption in Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. No consent is required for them.

All other categories (functional, analytics, marketing, embedded content) are set only with your prior consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive). Consent is requested via the cookie banner before such files are placed and may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

The following is an indicative list of cookies. The exact set depends on the services used on the Website and may change; the current list is always available in the cookie management banner.

Some cookies are set by third-party providers that process data under their own privacy policies:

Certain providers (for example, Google and Meta) may transfer data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Such transfers are carried out subject to appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Chapter V GDPR — on the basis of the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).

Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored for the periods set out in the table above. A record of your consent is generally kept for up to 12 months, after which consent is requested again.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner or the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the Website.

You can also manage and delete cookies in your browser settings:

• the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18);
• the right to object (Art. 21);
• the right to data portability (Art. 20);
• the right to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3)).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For a controller established in Bulgaria, this is the Commission for Personal Data Protection (Комисия за защита на личните данни, CPDP), 2 Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd, Sofia 1592 — cpdp.bg.
