Content
Categories of cookies on this site
The portal groups its cookies into three categories, each with a different purpose.
Strictly necessary cookies – required for the site to load at all, for basic protection against misuse, and for remembering the answer a visitor gives in the cookie banner.
Preference cookies – store settings such as chosen display options, so the portal looks the same on the next visit.
Analytics cookies – record which pages are read and for how long, without linking that data to an identified person.
Cookies also differ by how long they last. Session cookies are removed when the browser is closed; persistent cookies remain on the device for a set period and then expire on their own. The portal does not set advertising or tracking cookies for targeting purposes, and it does not build advertising profiles of its readers.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on the site are placed by an analytics service rather than by the portal itself. That service processes the data it collects under its own privacy policy, which governs what it stores and for how long.
One point deserves emphasis. Because olivewoodvegan.com carries no partner links to casinos, no casino operator can set cookies through this site. Readers who move from a review to a casino’s own website deal with that operator’s cookies and policies directly, not through this portal.
Consent
On a first visit, the site shows a cookie banner. Non-essential cookies stay switched off until the visitor agrees to them, so analytics and preference cookies do not run on a default visit. The choice recorded in the banner is not permanent: it can be revisited and changed at any time, and the new choice applies from the next page load. Declining optional cookies leaves the editorial content fully readable.
How to delete or block cookies
Every major browser allows full control over cookies through its settings menu. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, a visitor can delete cookies already stored, block them entirely, or block only third-party ones, and can also browse in private mode, where session data is discarded when the window closes. These settings sit under privacy or security sections, and each browser’s help pages describe the exact steps for its current version.
Blocking everything has a visible effect on this site. Without strictly necessary cookies, some functions will not work as intended – the portal cannot remember the banner response, so the consent request may reappear on each visit, and saved display preferences will be lost. Analytics also stops reflecting the visit. Content pages themselves remain accessible either way.
Changes and questions
This policy takes effect from the moment of its publication on the site, without a separate entry date. If the way cookies are used changes – for example, a new analytics tool is introduced or an existing one is removed – the updated version appears on this same page, and the text above always describes the current practice.
Questions about this policy can be sent to the editorial team at [email protected]. The team reads every message and answers queries about the categories described above, the consent banner, or the use of analytics on olivewoodvegan.com.
