Data controller: Gharvynnywhronul, 1041 Elkton Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80907, United States. Email: office@gharvynnywhronul.world. Phone: +1 800 288 0397.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and device identifiers. In this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to cookies and such similar technologies where relevant.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than gharvynnywhronul.world). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
3. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary: Required for the website to function (e.g. load balancing, security, remembering your cookie consent choices). These cannot be disabled if you wish to use the site.
- Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website (e.g. pages viewed, time spent, traffic sources). This helps us improve content and usability. Data may be aggregated and anonymised.
- Marketing: To deliver relevant content or ads, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and to recognise you when you return. These may involve third-party cookies.
4. Categories of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and storage of your cookie consent preferences. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting how the site works. We do not need your consent for strictly necessary cookies under laws such as the GDPR, but we still inform you about them.
Examples: Cookie consent banner state (e.g. "cookie_consent"), session identifier, load-balancing or security tokens. Typical duration: session or up to 12 months for consent storage.
4.2 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information (often in an aggregated form). We use this to improve the site structure, content, and performance. In some jurisdictions we will only set these cookies after you have given your consent.
Examples: Page views, visit duration, bounce rate, device type. Data may be processed by analytics service providers acting as our processors. Typical duration: from session up to 24 months depending on the cookie.
4.3 Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to build a profile of your interests, to show you relevant advertisements on our site or on other sites, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising. They are often set by advertising networks with our permission. We will only set or allow these cookies where you have given your consent where required by law.
Examples: Retargeting, interest-based ads, conversion tracking. Typical duration: from a few days up to 12 months or more, depending on the provider.
5. Legal basis and consent
Where the GDPR or ePrivacy rules apply:
- Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website, or to comply with legal obligations. Consent is not required for these.
- Analytics and marketing cookies that involve non-essential processing of personal data are used only with your consent. You can give or withdraw consent via our cookie banner or the "Cookie settings" option. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
We store your cookie preferences (e.g. "Accept all", "Reject", or custom settings) in a cookie or local storage so that we do not ask you again on every visit until the preference expires or you clear it.
6. Retention of cookie data
Cookie retention depends on the type of cookie:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: retained for the period stated in the cookie (e.g. 12 months for consent, up to 24 months for analytics, as set by third parties for marketing).
After expiry, the cookie is no longer sent to our servers. Logs or data derived from cookies may be retained for longer in anonymised or aggregated form as described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages (e.g. analytics or advertising partners). We do not control the use of these cookies; the relevant third party's privacy and cookie policies apply. We select partners that commit to appropriate data protection and, where we act as joint or independent controller, we describe the processing in our Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy notices of any third-party services you interact with.
8. How to manage and delete cookies
You can control cookies in the following ways:
- Our cookie banner: When you first visit, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject", or "Cookie settings" to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your mind at any time by revisiting the cookie banner (e.g. via a link in the footer) or clearing your stored preferences.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. You can usually find these options under "Settings", "Privacy", or "Cookies". Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our and other websites.
- Device settings: On mobile devices, you may be able to limit tracking via your operating system or app settings.
