How We Use Cookies
Atelon Gazette uses cookies for the following purposes:
- — To ensure the site functions correctly for all visitors
- — To remember visitor cookie preferences between sessions
- — To gather aggregate data on page traffic and content engagement
- — To support the functioning of third-party content tools embedded within the site
The site does not use cookies to serve targeted advertising, to build individual visitor profiles, or to track visitors across other websites.
Cookie Categories
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function. They enable core features including page navigation, form submission, and the cookie preference system itself. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without preventing the site from functioning correctly.
Retention: Session or up to 12 months for preference storage
Set by: atelon.info (first-party)
Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect aggregate data about how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and which content is read most frequently. This data is used by the editorial team to understand reader interest and to inform the publication schedule. Analytics data is collected in aggregate form and does not identify individual visitors.
Retention: Up to 24 months
Set by: Third-party analytics provider
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember visitor preferences — such as language settings or layout choices — to provide a more consistent experience across sessions. These cookies are not required for the site to function but improve the visitor experience. Disabling functional cookies may result in some preferences not being remembered between visits.
Retention: Up to 12 months
Set by: atelon.info (first-party)
Third-Party Cookies
The site makes use of third-party services for analytics and content display. These services may set their own cookies. The relevant providers include:
- — Analytics providers, for aggregate traffic measurement
- — Map service providers, for location display on the contact page
- — Font delivery services, for consistent typography
Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective providers. Atelon Gazette has no control over third-party cookie behaviour beyond the choice to include or exclude those services from the site. Where visitors decline analytics cookies, the relevant third-party service is not loaded.
Managing Preferences
Visitors may manage cookie preferences in two ways:
Via the Cookie Banner
On first visiting the site, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Visitors may accept all cookies, accept selected categories, or accept essential cookies only. This preference is stored and respected on subsequent visits. The preference may be updated at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the site footer.
Via the Browser
Visitors may also manage cookies through their browser settings. Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, blocked, or deleted. Instructions for common browsers are available through each browser's help documentation. Note that blocking all cookies through the browser may affect the correct functioning of some site features.
Declining non-essential cookies does not affect access to editorial content on the site. All articles, about information, and contact features remain fully accessible regardless of cookie preference.
Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the cookies used on the site or in applicable regulatory requirements. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a revised effective date.
