Revision dated 8 October 2026 · version 2026-10-08.2
AF.RU uses third-party cookies and local browser storage for the interface, convenience and statistics. The home page displays a compact notice with an “OK” button. It does not block the page, chat or request form.
1. Data stored in your browser
| Record | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
af_cookie_noticelocalStorage | Version and expiry of the notice acknowledgement; no names or contact details are stored | 180 days; the notice is then shown again |
af_chat_v1 · af_chat_v1_ensessionStorage | Recent messages in the main chat | Current browser tab/session, or until “New conversation” is selected |
af_chat_tz, af_chat_timessessionStorage | Hint visibility and message rate limits | Current browser tab/session; request timestamps are counted within a one-minute window |
af_theme · af-lang, af-themelocalStorage | Website theme; extended assistant language and theme | Until you delete the site’s browser data |
localStorage and sessionStorage are browser storage, distinct from cookies. Your browser may restore sessionStorage when reopening a tab. Clear chat history using the new conversation button or your browser’s site data settings.
2. Counters and external services
TOP.ONE.RU and Mail.ru load automatically when you visit the website. The cookie notice does not enable or disable counters, request separate permission for them or record analytics consent. These services may use their own cookies and receive your IP address, browser information, page details and visit data. Their retention periods depend on their settings and policies.
Fonts, primary styles and images are hosted locally on AF.RU. Chat and request processing are described in the Privacy Policy. The request form requires separate consent, independently of the notice button.
3. Managing storage
You can delete site data and restrict cookies and local storage in your browser settings. The website continues to work when storage is blocked, but history, preferences and the notice acknowledgement may not persist. Deleting browser data does not delete a request already submitted; contact the operator to request this.
