1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, handheld device, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits and to store certain preferences or information about your session.

Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are not used to access any other information on your device beyond what is specifically set by the website that placed them.

2. How Oramelin Journal uses cookies

Oramelin Journal uses cookies for two purposes: to enable the essential technical functioning of the website, and to collect anonymised analytics data about how visitors use the site. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, or cross-site tracking.

Under UK data protection law, essential cookies do not require your consent. Analytics cookies require your consent before they are placed. The cookie banner displayed on your first visit allows you to choose which categories of cookies you accept.

3. Categories of cookies used on this website

Analytics cookies (optional)

All data collected by analytics cookies is anonymised. These cookies are placed only if you accept them via the consent banner.

Third-party content cookies

The contact page on this website embeds a Google Maps iframe. Google may place cookies when you interact with the embedded map. These cookies are governed by Google's own cookie and privacy policies. Oramelin Journal does not control these cookies and cannot disable them independently of the Google Maps embed.

4. Managing your cookie preferences

You may update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page. This will reopen the consent banner and allow you to change your selection.

You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, and be notified when a cookie is placed. Instructions for common browsers:

—
Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
—
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
—
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
—
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Note that disabling all cookies via your browser may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.

5. Opt-out resources

For Google Analytics specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits across all websites that use the service.

For broader opt-out from interest-based advertising and cross-site tracking (where applicable), the Your Online Choices tool at youronlinechoices.com/uk covers many European advertising networks.
