Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 January 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have accepted the cookie banner — so that you do not need to set it again on your next visit.

Cookies can be "session cookies", which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies", which remain on your device for a defined period. They can be "first-party cookies", set by the website you are visiting, or "third-party cookies", set by services embedded in that website.

The use of cookies on websites accessed from the United Kingdom is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) alongside the UK GDPR. Where cookies involve the processing of personal data, we obtain your consent before placing them (except for strictly essential cookies).

2. Cookies We Use

Arelonik Letters uses a limited number of cookies. We have organised them into the categories below. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies that follow you across other websites.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of this website. They cannot be disabled, as the Site would not function correctly without them. No consent is required for these cookies under PECR.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
arl_consent Records your cookie consent preference so the banner does not appear on every page visit 12 months
PHPSESSID Standard session identifier used to maintain your browsing session Session

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enhance your experience on the Site by remembering choices you have made. They are not strictly necessary but improve usability. We place these cookies only after you have accepted them via the cookie consent banner.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
arl_ui_prefs Remembers UI preferences such as navigation state across visits 6 months

5. Performance Cookies

Performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site in aggregate — for example, which pages are visited most frequently or whether visitors encounter any errors. The information is anonymised and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Arelonik Letters does not currently use third-party analytics platforms. Server-side log aggregation is used in place of browser-level analytics cookies. Should this change, this policy will be updated and the cookie consent mechanism adjusted accordingly.

6. Third-Party Cookies

The following third-party services may set cookies when you interact with embedded content on this Site. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the privacy policies of their respective providers.

Provider Trigger Category
Google Maps Viewing the embedded map on the Contact page Functional / Performance
FontShare CDN Loading web fonts on all pages Essential

7. Managing Cookies
