1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function, to remember your preferences, and to collect aggregated information about how sites are used. This policy explains which cookies maloven.info uses, why they are used, and how you can control them.

2. Cookie Categories

The Gazette uses cookies in three categories. You can manage your preferences for non-essential cookies at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the site footer.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are required for the site to function. They cannot be disabled because they are essential to delivering the service you have requested. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

Analytics Cookies

Optional

Analytics cookies help the editorial team understand how readers navigate the site — which articles are read, how long readers spend on individual pages, and from which referral sources visits originate. This data is collected in aggregated, non-identifiable form and is used solely to inform editorial decisions.

Functional Cookies

Optional

Functional cookies enable enhanced features such as remembering your reading preferences and preferred display settings between visits. Accepting functional cookies does not enable advertising tracking of any kind. The Gazette does not use advertising networks or remarketing cookies.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party services embedded in this site may set their own cookies. These are not controlled by the Gazette and are governed by the respective services' own cookie policies:

  • Google Maps (contact page) — may set cookies when the interactive map is loaded. See Google's privacy policy for details.
  • Google Fonts — font files are served from Google's CDN. Request logs may be maintained by Google.
  • CDN providers (jsDelivr, cdnjs, unpkg) — JavaScript libraries are served from these CDNs. These services may log request data.

4. Managing Your Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer. This will re-display the cookie consent banner, allowing you to change your selection.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, and set notifications when a new cookie is placed. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the ability of the site to function as intended.

Cookie preferences set through the site banner are stored locally in your browser. Clearing your browser storage will reset your preferences and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
