01 — What Are Cookies
About Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits and to remember certain preferences or session states. Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or carry viruses.
Oranev Journal uses cookies to ensure the Site functions correctly, to understand how visitors engage with editorial content in aggregate, and to remember your cookie preferences. This policy describes the categories of cookies in use and how you can manage them.
02 — Cookie Categories
Categories of Cookies Used
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They manage your cookie consent preferences, maintain session integrity, and ensure that security features function correctly. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing the basic functioning of the Site.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are read most frequently, how long readers spend on each article, and from which sources visitors arrive. This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individually identifiable information. It is used to guide editorial planning and improve the quality and relevance of published content.
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you have selected "Accept All" or "Accept Selected" in the cookie consent banner. They are not active if you have selected "Essential Only".
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you have made — such as interface preferences — and to provide enhanced features. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites and are not used for advertising purposes.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services used by the Site — including Google Fonts, jsDelivr CDN, and Google Maps — may set their own cookies when content from those services is loaded. These cookies are governed by the respective third parties' own privacy and cookie policies, over which Oranev Journal has no control.
The Site does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies that track your activity across third-party websites for commercial purposes.
03 — Managing Cookies
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit Oranev Journal, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept a partial selection, or accept essential cookies only. Your preference is stored in a cookie and remembered for twelve months.
You may update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the Site footer. This reopens the consent banner and allows you to change your selection.
In addition to the Site's own consent controls, all major browsers provide settings that allow you to block or delete cookies stored by websites you visit. The following links provide guidance for the most commonly used browsers:
- └ Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- └ Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- └ Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- └ Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functioning of some features on the Site, particularly those that rely on session or preference cookies.
04 — Opt-Out Options
Opting Out of Non-Essential Cookies
Selecting "Essential Only" in the cookie consent banner disables all non-essential cookies, including analytics and functional cookies. This selection does not affect the Site's core editorial content — all articles, images, and editorial pages remain fully accessible.
If you wish to withdraw a previously given consent, click "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page to reopen the consent banner and change your selection. Your updated preference takes effect immediately and is stored for twelve months.
For questions about this Cookie Policy, contact the editorial team at [email protected].
05 — Policy Updates

This Cookie Policy may be revised from time to time as the Site adds or removes third-party services, or as applicable law changes. The date of the most recent revision is shown at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any revision constitutes acknowledgement of the updated policy.
