COOKIE
POLICY
This Cookie Policy explains how Galev uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on galev.info. It describes what each category of cookie does, why it is used, how long it persists, and how you can manage your consent at any time.
You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page, or by clicking the button below.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device across sessions, remember your preferences, and gather aggregated information about how the site is used. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device.
Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — function similarly to cookies and are covered by this policy. Where we refer to “cookies” in this document, the same principles apply to these related technologies.
Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function correctly. They enable core functions such as session management, security protections, and the remembering of your cookie consent choice. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate as intended.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| galev_consent | Records your cookie consent choice | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Session identifier for server-side state | Session |
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow Galev to understand how readers use the site in aggregate — which pages are most read, how long readers spend on entries, and general navigation patterns. This information is used to improve the quality and structure of the journal. No individual identity is recorded. Analytics data is not shared with advertising networks.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique site visitors (anonymised) | 24 months |

| _gid | Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember preferences you have set — such as display settings or previously expanded FAQ sections — to improve your reading experience on return visits. They do not track you across other websites and are not used for any purpose other than delivering a consistent on-site experience.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| galev_prefs | Stores reading preferences and UI state | 6 months |
Third-Party Cookies
Galev uses a limited number of third-party libraries — including content delivery networks for fonts, icons, and performance libraries. These providers may set their own cookies or use local storage as part of their technical functioning. Galev does not have direct control over the cookies set by these third parties.
Third-party services currently in use on galev.info include: Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com), jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net), and unpkg (unpkg.com). These services operate under their own privacy policies. Galev does not share personal information with these providers beyond what is technically necessary for library delivery.
Galev does not use third-party advertising networks, retargeting pixels, social media tracking pixels, or any cookie that facilitates cross-site tracking for commercial purposes.
Managing Your Consent
When you first visit galev.info, a consent banner presents three options:
You may change your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent for optional cookies does not affect the lawfulness of any prior consent given.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Note that disabling all cookies through your browser may affect site functionality. Instructions for common browsers: Chrome — Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies; Firefox — Preferences > Privacy & Security; Safari — Preferences > Privacy.
Contact and Updates
This Cookie Policy is reviewed annually and updated whenever the cookies in use on the site change materially. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
