1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They enable the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember information such as your preferences and browsing behaviour. Cookies are widely used by websites to make them function more efficiently and to provide information to site operators.

This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies used on folen.info, why each category is used, and the options available to you for managing cookie preferences.

2. Categories of Cookies Used on This Site

Strictly Necessary

Functional Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They include session-level cookies that maintain site security and remember your cookie consent preference. Without these cookies, certain features of the site cannot operate.

Consent required: No — these are set on all visits.
Analytics

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, including which articles are read most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and how visitors arrive at the site. The data is collected in an aggregated, anonymised form and is used to improve the editorial content and navigation of folen.info.

Analytics on this site are provided by Google Analytics. Data collected by Google Analytics is subject to Google's privacy terms. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Third-Party

Third-Party Embedded Content Cookies

The contact page on folen.info includes a Google Maps embed to display the editorial office location. When this map is loaded, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with their own cookie and privacy policies. Folen Quarterly does not control the cookies set by Google through this embed.

Information about Google's use of cookies is available at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

Consent required: Yes — map embed loads only after partial or full consent is given.

3. Cookie Duration

Cookies used on folen.info fall into two duration categories:

  • Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for security and session management.
  • Persistent cookies: Remain on your device until they expire or are manually deleted. The cookie consent preference cookie is stored for 365 days so that your preference does not need to be re-confirmed on each visit. Analytics cookies have a maximum retention period of 26 months as set by Google Analytics defaults.

4. How to Manage Cookie Preferences

When you first visit folen.info, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may:

  • Accept All — consent to all categories of cookies described in this policy.
  • Accept Partial — consent to functional and analytics cookies but not third-party embed cookies.
  • Functional Only — consent to strictly necessary cookies only. Analytics and third-party cookies are not set.

Cookie preferences can be updated at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page on folen.info. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

In addition to the site-level controls above, most browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through browser settings. Options include blocking all cookies, accepting cookies from specific sites, or deleting cookies already stored on your device. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of some areas of the site.
