3. Cookies we set
We currently set the following first-party cookies that are needed for basic website operation. Under Georgian practice, strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent, but we must still inform you about them.

Some pages load resources or embeds from third parties. Those providers may set their own cookies or process technical data when their content is displayed:
