What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently and to provide information to the site’s owners. This policy also covers similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels (web beacons), which can be used for comparable purposes.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
How we use cookies
metrotashkent.com uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the website working and secure, to remember your preferences (including your cookie choices), to measure how the site is used, and to support the advertising that helps fund the site.
Categories of cookies we use
- Essential cookies — needed for the website to work and to stay secure. These are always active and cannot be switched off through the consent banner.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site. Set only with your consent.
- Advertising cookies — set by our advertising partners to select, limit and measure the ads shown on the site. Personalised advertising cookies are set only with your consent.

A note on the table
The table above is a representative list. The exact cookies present on your device depend on the services that are active, on whether you are simply browsing or are a signed-in editor of the site, and on the consent choices you have made. Cookie names used by third parties such as Google may also change over time.
Third-party and advertising cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties rather than by metrotashkent.com directly. The main ones are:
- Google AdSense and Google’s advertising partners — this website displays ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance and detect fraud. Depending on your consent, these ads may be personalised or non-personalised.
- Analytics provider — where analytics is enabled, the provider sets cookies to measure traffic in aggregate.
You can opt out of personalised advertising in your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com, and from many other advertising vendors at optout.aboutads.info or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
Your consent
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent banner appears when you first arrive. Non-essential cookies — analytics and advertising — are placed only after you accept them. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the cookie settings on the site; until you give consent, only essential cookies are used.
How to manage or disable cookies
You can also control cookies through your web browser. Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete them, and block some or all cookies. The help pages of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and other browsers explain how.
Please note that essential cookies cannot be switched off without affecting how the website works, and that blocking or deleting cookies may stop some parts of the site from working as expected.
Changes to this cookie policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the cookies we use, or the law, change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
