1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to store information about your preferences or browsing activity.
Cookies are widely used to make websites function, to improve performance, and to provide information to website operators. This page explains what cookies trondeli.info uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on this website. Your consent is required for all categories except Essential cookies, which are necessary for the site to function.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. Without them, core functionality such as page navigation and the cookie consent mechanism itself would not work. These cookies do not collect personal data used for tracking or analytics.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| ta_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
| ta_session | Maintains your session state during a visit | Session |
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to understand how visitors use the website — which articles are read most frequently, how long visitors spend on individual pages, and how they navigate between sections. This information is used in aggregate form only and helps us improve the editorial content and structure of the site.
Analytics data is not used to identify individual visitors, is not shared with advertisers, and is not used for any form of targeted content or personalisation.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — daily unique visits | 24 hours |
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features that improve your reading experience but are not strictly necessary for the site to operate. These include cookies set by third-party services embedded in the site — for example, the embedded Google Maps element on the Contact page.
| Source | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Renders interactive map on Contact page | Session / persistent |
| Google Fonts | Delivers web fonts used in site typography | 1 year |
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit trondeli.info, a Cookie Consent Banner is displayed offering you three options: Accept All, Accept Selected, or Essential Only. Your selection is stored and respected on all subsequent visits.
You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page on this site, or by clicking the button below:
4. Opt-Out via Browser Settings
In addition to using our Cookie Settings tool, you may manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete stored cookies, and to block cookies from specific sites or from all sites. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functioning of some features of the website.
For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, refer to your browser's help documentation or visit aboutcookies.org for browser-specific instructions.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services rather than by trondeli.info directly. These include Google Analytics (analytics cookies) and Google Maps (functional cookies on the Contact page). The use of data by these third parties is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reviewing independently.
We do not permit third-party advertising, remarketing, or behavioural tracking cookies on this site.
