Cookie Policy

Last updated: 12 April 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how their content is used. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on your device.

Alongside cookies, similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — may be used for comparable purposes. References to "cookies" in this policy cover all such technologies unless otherwise stated.


2. Categories of Cookies We Use

Always Active

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic processing of talera.info. Without them, core functionality — such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site — would not work. They do not require your consent under UK GDPR because they are technically necessary to deliver a service you have explicitly requested.

Cookie name Purpose Duration
tr_consent Records your cookie consent preferences so the banner does not repeat on every page load. 13 months
tr_session Maintains your browsing session so pages load correctly as you navigate between articles. Session
Consent Required

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They allow the website to remember choices you have made — such as your preferred reading layout or language — and to provide improved, personalised features. These cookies are set only if you accept functional cookies via our consent banner.

Cookie name Purpose Duration
tr_pref Stores UI preferences selected during a visit, such as text size or display mode. 6 months
Consent Required

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our editorial content in aggregate. The data collected — including pages visited, time spent on page, and navigation paths — is anonymised before analysis and is not used to identify individual readers. These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies via our consent banner.

Cookie name Purpose Duration
_ga Used by analytics providers to distinguish unique visitors for aggregate readership reporting. 2 years
_ga_* Persists session state for analytics platforms, used to calculate aggregate visit metrics. 2 years
_gid Distinguishes users for session-level analytics. Expires after 24 hours. 24 hours
Not Used

Marketing and Targeting Cookies

Talera Review does not use marketing or targeting cookies. We do not display third-party advertising on our editorial pages, and we do not share reader data with advertising networks or data brokers. No cookies associated with personalised advertising are set on this website.


3. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on talera.info may embed content from third-party services — for example, embedded maps for our contact page or typographic services. These third parties may set their own cookies when their content is loaded. We do not control the cookies set by third-party services. Their use of cookies is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Third-party services currently used on this website that may set cookies:

  • Google Maps (embedded on our contact page) — subject to Google's cookie and privacy policies
  • Google Fonts (typographic resources loaded from Google's servers) — Google may record font requests; no personally identifiable information is shared in this process

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit talera.info, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept only functional and strictly necessary cookies, or accept strictly necessary cookies only. Your choice is stored in the tr_consent cookie for 13 months.

To change your preferences at any time, click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page on this website. Selecting a more restrictive option will remove any non-essential cookies already set on your device to the extent technically possible.

You may revise your cookie choices at any time using the button below.


5. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to our on-site consent controls, all modern browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through browser settings. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, to alert you when a cookie is being set, or to delete existing cookies. The location of these settings varies by browser; consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.

Please note that disabling all cookies through browser settings may affect the functionality of this website, particularly features that depend on session continuity. Strictly necessary cookies must be accepted for the site to operate as intended.


6. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Our use of cookies is governed by the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as well as UK GDPR. The legal bases under which cookies are set are:

01
Technical necessity (PECR Regulation 6(4))

Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under PECR because they are essential to deliver a service explicitly requested by the user.

02
Consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a))

Functional and analytics cookies are set only with your explicit, freely given, informed, and specific consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without detriment.


7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in applicable law. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.

Where changes are material — for example, the introduction of a new category of cookie — we will re-display the consent banner to allow you to make a fresh choice. For minor clarifications that do not change your rights, the policy will be updated without renewed consent prompt.
