This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies narbel.info uses, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information on how we handle personal data.
When you first visit this site, a consent banner is shown at the bottom of the page. You may accept all cookies, accept only partial cookies (functional and analytics), or accept only functional cookies. Your preference is recorded and the banner will not reappear for 12 months unless you clear your browser data or click "Cookie Settings" in the footer to revise your choice.
This site does not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or any form of cross-site tracking. Our cookie use is limited to the categories described below.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function, or function more efficiently, and to provide information to the website operator about how visitors use the site.
Cookies are not programs and cannot be used to run software, deliver viruses, or access files on your device. They may contain a unique identifier — a random number assigned to your device — which allows the website to recognise your browser on subsequent visits.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by other parties (such as analytics providers or content delivery services) are called "third-party cookies". Both types are used on this site and are described in full below.
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as remembering your cookie consent preference, maintaining session integrity, and ensuring pages load correctly. These cookies cannot be disabled through our consent banner because the site cannot operate without them.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| narbel_consent | Records your cookie consent choice | 12 months |
| narbel_session | Maintains page session state | Session |
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with the website — which articles are read most, how long readers spend on each page, and which pages are visited before leaving the site. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymised; individual readers are not identified. These cookies are only placed if you have accepted "Accept All" or "Accept Partial" in the consent banner.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors (anonymised) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Persists session state for Google Analytics | 2 years |
| _gid | Identifies user session within 24-hour period | 24 hours |
This site loads fonts and JavaScript libraries from third-party content delivery networks (CDNs) including Fontshare, Google Fonts, jsDelivr, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, and unpkg.com. These providers may set their own short-lived cookies or collect standard server log data (your IP address and browser fingerprint) from your browser as part of serving those assets. We do not control those services.
For details of how these providers handle data, please consult their respective privacy and cookie policies. These cookies are placed as part of the functional processing of the website regardless of your preference selection, as they are required to load page assets.
You may revise your cookie preference at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page. The consent banner will reappear, and you may select a different option. Your new preference takes effect immediately and overrides the previous choice.
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings menus. The process differs by browser. Guidance is provided at the following locations:
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of this website. Removing the consent cookie (narbel_consent) will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
If you have accepted analytics cookies and wish to withdraw that consent, click "Cookie Settings" in the footer and select "Functional Only". The analytics cookies will be removed from your browser at that point. Alternatively, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
This Cookie Policy is reviewed at least annually, or when our use of cookies changes materially. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Where a revision affects how analytics or third-party cookies are used, we will re-display the consent banner to ensure you have the opportunity to review and confirm your preference.
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or wish to exercise your rights under UK GDPR in relation to any data collected through cookies, please contact us:
If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk or by telephone on 0303 123 1113.
