1. Purpose
This page explains the small text files and similar technologies that may support kreltov.info. They help the website remember a choice, maintain a session or understand broad page use. We keep the approach proportionate and do not use cookies to sell personal profiles.
2. Essential session cookies
Essential cookies support navigation and security. They normally expire when the browser closes and do not create a lasting profile. If a future feature needs a longer lifespan, this page will be updated before that change is introduced.
3. Preference cookies
A preference record may remember a reader’s cookie choice for up to 12 months. Its purpose is convenience rather than advertising. Deleting browser data removes it, after which the banner may appear again.
4. Analytics
If analytics are enabled, consent-based records may help us understand which pages are read in aggregate. Such records may last up to 13 months. We review reports without seeking to identify individual readers.
5. Choices
Readers can reject optional cookies through the banner, withdraw consent by contacting [email protected], or use browser controls. Blocking essential storage may affect a small part of the site. Choice records are respected as soon as reasonably practicable.
6. Third parties
Embedded maps or fonts can involve requests to their providers. Those providers may set their own technologies under their own notices. We select external services with care and keep embeds limited to useful site functions.
7. Retention
Consent records are retained for up to 24 months so that a choice can be respected and demonstrated. Analytics records follow the 13-month limit described above. Contact records follow the retention approach in our Privacy Policy.
8. International processing
Some providers may operate internationally. Where information leaves the UK, appropriate transfer safeguards are sought. Provider arrangements are reviewed when tools change.
9. Contact
Cookie questions can be sent to [email protected] or 17 Commercial Road, Portsmouth PO1 1AA. We aim to respond during Mon–Fri 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM GMT.
10. Revisions
Edition 9 September 2026: clarified session, preference and analytics lifespans. Future changes will be dated on this page.
8. Cookie inventory
The consent record may use a name such as kreltov_cookie_consent and can remain for up to 12 months. A short-lived session record may be used by hosting infrastructure and normally expires when the browser closes. If consent-based analytics are enabled, a provider may use identifiers with a lifespan of up to 13 months, subject to its current documentation.
- Session records support continuity and basic security.
- Preference records remember the selected cookie setting.
- Analytics records are optional and reviewed in aggregate.
9. Managing browser storage
Most browsers allow readers to inspect, delete or block stored data through privacy settings. Private browsing modes may remove records when the window closes, while browser synchronisation can copy preferences between devices. Settings differ between browsers, so readers should consult the help information for the browser they use.
Deleting a consent record does not erase server logs or enquiry records; those are handled under the Privacy Policy. A new consent prompt may appear after deletion because the site can no longer recognise the earlier choice.
10. Changes and contact
We record material changes to cookie use with a dated revision note and explain new optional purposes before seeking consent where required. This page was reviewed on 9 September 2026. Questions about storage technologies can be sent to [email protected], and we aim to acknowledge them within five working days.
11. Consent records and audit information
A consent record may contain the selected preference, a date or time and a technical reference used to recognise the browser. It should not contain the contents of a contact message or a reader’s health information. Records are retained only for as long as needed to remember the choice and demonstrate the consent approach. A reader may ask for more information about a consent record by contacting [email protected].
Where optional analytics are not accepted, the site should not activate the corresponding non-essential measurement technology. Changes to the consent banner or categories are reviewed before release. A change that introduces a new optional purpose will be described in an updated version of this page.
12. International providers and embedded content
Some providers of hosting, fonts, maps or analytics may operate infrastructure outside the United Kingdom. Their systems may receive technical information when a browser requests a resource or when a reader enables an optional feature. Kreltov considers adequacy decisions, contractual safeguards and provider controls when selecting such services. Readers should also review the provider’s own notice for details about its independent processing.
An embedded map may contact its provider when the map is loaded, while a locally served page may avoid that request. Optional features can therefore have different technical consequences from ordinary page reading. We keep embedded services limited to functions that have a clear editorial or practical purpose.
13. Revisions and contact procedure
This policy was reviewed on 9 September 2026. We record material changes with a new review date and explain any new optional category, provider or lifespan in the relevant section. Readers can send questions or withdrawal requests to [email protected] or to 17 Commercial Road, Portsmouth PO1 1AA. We aim to acknowledge correspondence within five working days and respond within 20 working days where investigation is required.
Browser controls remain available even if a reader does not contact us. A deleted preference may cause the consent banner to reappear because the site cannot recognise the earlier choice. Nothing in this policy changes rights that apply under UK data protection or privacy law.
