This Cookie Policy describes how Ebalon Journal uses cookies and similar browser-stored data when visitors access the publication at ebalon.info. It explains what cookies are, the categories of cookies this site uses, and how visitors may manage their cookie preferences.

This policy should be read in conjunction with the Privacy Policy, which describes the broader data practices of this publication.

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on a visitor's device through their browser. Cookies are widely used to support the ordinary functioning of websites, to remember visitor preferences, and to understand how visitors interact with content.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry or execute code on a visitor's device. Their content is limited to the text data placed by the originating site or authorised third-party services.

Cookies vary in their lifespan. Session cookies are deleted when a browser window is closed. Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period, which is noted in the table in Section 3 of this policy.

Visitors may control cookie storage through their browser settings. Most browsers provide options to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or clear stored cookies at any time. Disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the functioning of some features of this site.

Ebalon Journal uses cookies in three categories. Two of these categories require visitor consent before being placed. Essential cookies are placed on all visits as they are required for the site to function correctly.

The following table describes the specific cookies placed by or on behalf of Ebalon Journal. Third-party cookies placed by embedded services (such as the Google Maps embed on the contact page) are subject to those providers' own cookie policies.

Certain pages on Ebalon Journal load resources from third-party providers. These providers may place their own cookies on a visitor's device. Ebalon Journal does not control these third-party cookies and they are governed by the respective provider's policies.

The contact page of this publication includes an embedded map from Google Maps. When the map is loaded, Google may place cookies associated with their services on a visitor's device. Visitors who wish to prevent this should consult Google's cookie documentation and adjust browser or device settings accordingly.

Font resources are loaded from Google Fonts. Google may record access requests for font files; this is subject to Google's own data policies. No personal data is transmitted by this publication to Google Fonts beyond the standard HTTP request made by a browser when loading a web font.

Visitors may adjust their cookie preferences at any time through the following methods:

• — Cookie Settings link: Available in the footer of every page on this publication. Selecting this link reopens the consent notice, allowing visitors to change their selection at any time.
• — Browser settings: Most browsers provide options to block or delete cookies. Common browser cookie controls are accessible via the browser's settings or preferences menu, typically under "Privacy" or "Security". Consult the browser's documentation for specific instructions.
• — Opt-out tools: Visitors who wish to opt out of analytics data collection may use browser-based opt-out extensions or configure analytics opt-outs where available through the relevant provider's settings.

Disabling essential cookies through browser settings may affect the functionality of the site, including the ability to store consent preferences. In such cases, the cookie consent notice may reappear on each visit.
