What Cookies Are

Definition and Technical Background

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to store visitor preferences, and to gather aggregated information about how visitors navigate a site.

Cookies set by the website owner — in this case Rolev Quarterly — are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by third-party services embedded on the site (such as CDN providers or analytics platforms) are called third-party cookies. Both categories are described in this policy.

Rolev Quarterly is committed to transparent cookie usage. We aim to use only the minimum number of cookies necessary to operate this website and improve the editorial reading experience. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or the construction of behavioural profiles.

How We Use Cookies

Purpose and Scope

Cookies placed on rolev.info serve three distinct operational purposes: ensuring the website functions correctly for all visitors, remembering consent choices so we do not repeat the cookie banner on every page view, and gathering anonymised aggregated data about which articles attract the most reader engagement.

No cookie set by Rolev Quarterly is used to identify individual visitors by name, to track you across other websites, or to serve any form of advertising. Where analytics are enabled by your consent, the data collected is aggregated and used solely to inform our editorial calendar decisions.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

Consent Required

These cookies collect anonymised, aggregated information about how visitors use our site — which articles receive the most engagement, average time spent reading, and general navigation patterns. All data is aggregated before analysis; no individual visitor is identified or profiled. These cookies are only set if you select "Accept All" or "Accept Selected" in the consent banner.

Third-Party CDN Cookies

Technical

This website loads fonts and JavaScript libraries from external CDN providers (Google Fonts, jsDelivr, Cloudflare cdnjs). These providers may set their own technical cookies as part of CDN delivery. Rolev Quarterly does not control these cookies; they are governed by the respective provider's privacy and cookie policies. They are technical in nature and do not track browsing behaviour.

Provider Domain Purpose
Google Fonts fonts.googleapis.com Font delivery
jsDelivr cdn.jsdelivr.net JS/CSS library delivery
Cloudflare (cdnjs) cdnjs.cloudflare.com JS library delivery

Managing and Withdrawing Consent

Your Controls

You may review and change your cookie preferences at any time. Three mechanisms are available:

Cookie Settings (this site)

Use the Cookie Settings link in the footer to re-open the consent banner at any time and amend your preferences. Changing your selection here will update the rq_consent cookie and adjust which cookies are set going forward.

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings panel. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal. Strictly necessary cookies will continue to be set regardless of your consent selection, as they are essential to the functioning of the site.

Policy Updates

Amendments

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes to applicable legislation, or updates to third-party CDN providers. The revision date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Where material changes are made, the consent banner will be re-displayed to obtain fresh consent where required.
