Cookie Policy

This document describes the cookies placed on your device when you visit toven.info, the purpose of each type, and the options available for managing your preferences.

01 — What Are Cookies

About Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to retain certain preferences or session information across pages.

Cookies do not give a website access to your device or any personal data beyond what you choose to provide. You may configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being placed, though some site functions may not operate as expected if cookies are disabled.

02 — Categories

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary
Always Active

These cookies are required for the basic functioning of the website. They enable navigation between pages, support the cookie consent banner, and maintain session continuity. They do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled without breaking core site functions.

Examples: session ID, cookie consent record.
Analytics
Optional

Analytics cookies allow Toven Review to understand how readers navigate the site — which articles attract the most attention, how long a typical session lasts, and which entry paths are most common. All data gathered is anonymised and aggregated. No individual user profiles are built.

Provider: privacy-compliant analytics. Duration: up to 13 months.
Functional
Optional

Functional cookies remember preferences you have set on the site — such as your display mode or previously accepted notice states — so that you do not need to re-configure them on each visit. These cookies do not track behaviour across other websites.

Duration: session or up to 12 months depending on preference type.
Third-Party Embeds
Optional

Certain pages on toven.info embed third-party content, such as map iframes on the contact page. These third-party services may place their own cookies on your device. Toven Review does not control those cookies and recommends reviewing the relevant third-party privacy documentation for details.

Current embeds: Google Maps (contact page only).
03 — Managing Preferences

How to Manage Your Cookie Settings

When you first visit toven.info, a consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may accept all cookies, accept only partial categories, or restrict to functional cookies only using the controls in that banner.

Your preference is stored and applied on subsequent visits. You may revisit and update your preferences at any time by selecting "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page.

Cookies may also be managed or deleted directly through your browser settings. The following links provide guidance for the most commonly used browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Preferences → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Please be aware that disabling cookies entirely may affect the appearance and function of the site.

04 — Legal Basis

Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Strictly necessary cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interest, as they are required for the website to function. All other cookie categories are placed only with your explicit consent, obtained through the banner presented on first visit.

You may withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie Settings control in the footer. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent given prior to withdrawal.

This cookie policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which provides fuller details on how personal data submitted through this site is handled.

05 — Updates

Toven Review may update this cookie policy from time to time as the site's technical infrastructure changes or as applicable regulations are revised. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.
