This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Halvo Quarterly uses them on halvo.info, and what choices you have about their use. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies are stored on your device and can be read by the website on your next visit.

Cookies may be "session cookies" — which expire when you close your browser — or "persistent cookies" — which remain on your device until a set expiry date or until you delete them manually.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other services whose content appears on that page ("third-party cookies").

2. How We Use Cookies

Halvo Quarterly uses cookies for the following purposes:

▪To ensure the website functions correctly (strictly necessary)
▪To remember your cookie consent preferences
▪To understand how visitors navigate the site in aggregate (analytics, where consented)
▪To load third-party resources such as fonts and embedded maps

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural targeting, or the sale of personal data to third parties.

4. Third-Party Cookies

When you visit certain pages, third-party services may set their own cookies:

Google Fonts

Loading typefaces from Google Fonts may result in request logs at Google. These logs are governed by Google's own privacy policy.

Google Maps

The contact page embeds a Google Maps viewer. Viewing this map may result in cookies being set by Google. We recommend reviewing Google's cookie policy if you have concerns.

CDN Services (jsDelivr, unpkg)

JavaScript and CSS libraries are loaded from CDN providers. These providers may log request data. They do not set persistent cookies on your device through this website.

5. Managing Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

Cookie Settings on this site

Use the Cookie Settings link in the footer to update your preferences at any time. Withdrawing consent for optional categories does not affect the lawfulness of prior use.

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain parts of this website from working correctly. Instructions vary by browser — consult your browser's help documentation for guidance.

Opt-out tools

For analytics cookies served through Google, you may use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
