Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to help site operators understand how their content is being used.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data stored on your device. They can only be read by the server that set them.

2. How We Use Cookies

Braloven Almanac uses cookies for the following purposes:

Functional cookies: These cookies are necessary for the site to operate correctly. They enable features such as the mobile menu toggle, the cookie consent banner state, and the FAQ accordion. Without these cookies, some parts of the site will not function as intended. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information.

Analytics cookies: With your consent, we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors navigate the site — which pages are read most, how long readers spend on entries, and how they arrive at the site. This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities. We do not use analytics data for advertising or profiling purposes.

Performance cookies: With your consent, we may set cookies that allow us to monitor site loading times and identify technical issues. These cookies are used purely for maintaining the quality of the reading experience.

3. Cookie Categories in Detail

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are set automatically when you visit braloven.info and cannot be disabled without disrupting the functioning of the site. They include:

Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)

These cookies are only set if you accept analytics cookies via the consent banner. They are used to understand aggregate reading behaviour across the site. No personally identifiable data is collected.

If you accept analytics cookies, you consent to data being processed in accordance with the terms of our analytics provider. You may withdraw this consent at any time by visiting the Cookie Settings link in the page footer.

Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party libraries used on this site — including interactive components and map embeds — may set their own cookies. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and are not controlled by Braloven Almanac. Where these cookies are non-essential, they are only loaded after you have provided consent.

The Google Maps embed on our Contact page may set third-party cookies associated with Google's services. These are subject to Google's Privacy Policy, available at policies.google.com.
