Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Belsoran Notebook ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on belsoran.info ("the Site"). It describes what cookies are, which cookies we use, their purpose, and how you can manage your preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides fuller context on how we process personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — for example, your preferred language or whether you have previously consented to the use of cookies.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). They may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties operating on that website ("third-party cookies").

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to the processing of the Site. Without them, services you have requested — such as remembering your cookie consent preference — cannot be provided. These cookies cannot be disabled.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how readers use the Site — which articles are read, how long visitors stay on pages, and where visitors navigate to. All data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individual readers. These cookies are set only with your consent.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly.

3. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner will appear. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept partial cookies (strictly necessary and functional), or accept functional cookies only (strictly necessary only). Your preference is stored in the belsoran_consent cookie for twelve months.

You may review or update your cookie preference at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page on the Site.

You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
