Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 January 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on a visitor's device by a website during a browsing session. They allow the website to remember certain information about the visit — such as consent preferences and session identifiers — and to collect anonymised data about how the site is used.
Oranev Journal uses cookies for three purposes: to support essential website functioning, to understand how readers navigate the publication, and to remember visitor preferences across sessions. No cookies on this website are used for commercial targeting, behavioural advertising, or cross-site tracking.
Cookie Categories
Essential Cookies
Always ActiveThese cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They cannot be declined without disrupting core site behaviour. No personal data identifying individual visitors is stored in essential cookies.

| oranev_consent | Stores cookie consent preference | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Server session identifier | Session |
Analytical Cookies
OptionalThese cookies help the editorial team understand how readers engage with published content. Data is collected in anonymised, aggregated form and is used solely to improve the editorial experience. No individual visitor profiles are created from this data.

Third-Party Cookies
The website loads resources from third-party services including Google Fonts, jsDelivr, and Google Maps. These services may set their own cookies or log request data in the course of providing their functionality. Oranev Journal does not control the data practices of these third parties.
Google Analytics cookies (listed under Analytical Cookies above) are subject to Google's privacy practices. Analytical cookies are activated only after visitor consent is recorded. Visitors who decline analytical cookies will not be tracked by Google Analytics during their session on this website.
The Google Maps embed on the contact page is loaded only when the visitor navigates to that page. The Google Maps service may set cookies as part of its standard functioning. These are subject to Google's own cookie and privacy policies.
Managing Cookie Preferences
Visitors can manage cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer. This reopens the consent interface, where individual cookie categories can be accepted or declined. Changes take effect from the point of the new preference being recorded.
Cookies can also be managed or deleted through the browser's built-in settings. Most modern browsers allow visitors to view, block, and delete cookies on a per-site or global basis. Blocking essential cookies may affect the normal functioning of the website.
For detailed guidance on managing cookies in specific browsers, refer to the browser's support documentation. The editorial team does not provide individual browser-specific guidance via correspondence.
Opting Out of Analytics
Visitors who wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available from Google's website. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from collecting and sending data for any website the browser visits.
Alternatively, declining analytical cookies via the cookie consent interface on this website prevents Google Analytics from activating during visits to oranev.info specifically. No opt-out is required for editorial content access — declining analytics does not restrict access to any published articles.
Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies used on the website or in applicable regulatory requirements. Material updates will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
Questions about the use of cookies on oranev.info should be directed to [email protected].
