Cookie Policy

1. Who operates this website

This website is operated by Elvarinothessaria Ltd, trading as Elvarinothessaria.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text records that a website can ask a browser to store. They can support functions such as keeping a session active, remembering a preference, measuring service performance or recognising a returning browser. Similar browser-storage technologies can serve related purposes even where they are not technically cookies.

3. Current use on this website

The public pages of this site are designed to work without advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies or behavioural profiling. Submitting the contact form does not set marketing cookies. We do not intentionally set non-essential cookies through the website.

A hosting environment may still process essential request information needed to deliver the website, maintain security, balance traffic or prevent abuse. Whether that activity uses a cookie depends on the hosting configuration in operation at the time. Essential technologies are limited to functions that are reasonably necessary to provide or protect the service.

4. Strictly necessary technologies

Where a strictly necessary cookie or equivalent technology is used, it may support security, network management, load distribution, fraud prevention or a user-requested function. These technologies are not used to build advertising profiles. Where the law permits, strictly necessary technologies do not require the same consent mechanism as optional tracking.

5. Optional technologies

If optional analytics, personalisation or other non-essential technologies are introduced in the future, this policy and the website's consent controls will be updated before those technologies are used where prior consent is required. Optional technologies would remain disabled until the required choice has been made.

6. Third-party content

The website is designed to minimise third-party tracking and does not intentionally embed advertising or behavioural-profiling services. If optional third-party functionality is introduced later, we will review the privacy and consent implications before it is enabled.

7. Browser controls

Browsers generally provide controls for viewing, blocking and deleting cookies or site data. Blocking strictly necessary storage can sometimes affect site functions. Because browser interfaces differ, the relevant controls are normally found in the browser's privacy or site-data settings.

8. Retention

If a cookie is used, its duration should match its purpose. A session technology normally expires at the end of a session, while a preference may remain longer so the choice can be remembered. We avoid retaining browser identifiers for longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose described.

9. Data-protection rights

Where information associated with a cookie or similar technology constitutes personal data, the rights and safeguards described in our Privacy Policy apply. This can include rights of access, correction, objection or deletion in circumstances where the relevant legal conditions are met.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if website functionality, hosting arrangements or legal requirements change. The date shown above identifies the current published version. If a future change requires a new consent choice, the site will present that choice where required.
