Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies elbond.info uses, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.
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, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is used.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by services the site uses, such as analytics or embedded content providers). They can also be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookies Used on This Site
Functional Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function correctly. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice and enable basic navigation. These cannot be disabled without impairing the site's core functionality.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| eb_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 12 months |
| eb_session | Maintains session state for navigation | Session |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised information about how readers use the site — which articles are read most, how long readers spend on a page, and which referring sources bring visitors to the site. This information is used to improve editorial content and site structure. No personally identifying information is stored in these cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users for 24 hours | 24 hours |
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services used on this site — including font delivery (Google Fonts), embedded maps (Google Maps), and interface libraries (jsDelivr) — may set their own cookies or process your IP address. These are governed by the respective providers' privacy policies. Elbond Dispatch does not control these cookies.
- — Google Fonts: font delivery, may log IP address
- — Google Maps: map embed on contact page, may log IP address
- — jsDelivr CDN: script delivery, may log IP address
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit elbond.info, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept only functional cookies, or select a partial set. You can change your preference at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:
- — Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies
- — Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies
- — Safari: Preferences > Privacy
- — Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies
Disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of some site features. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through the banner — they are required for the consent system itself to function.
4. Opting Out of Analytics
To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents data from being sent to Google Analytics.
Alternatively, selecting "Functional Only" in the cookie banner on this site prevents analytics cookies from being set by elbond.info.
5. Updates to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be revised from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last updated. Continued use of the site following a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
