Cookies cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They are associated with a specific website and can only be read by the site that set them, or by third-party services explicitly authorised to do so. Cookies set through this website are identified by category in this policy.

- — Google Fonts — loads typeface files. Google may log the IP address of the request. No persistent cookie is set by Google Fonts.
- — jsDelivr CDN / unpkg CDN — delivers JavaScript and CSS libraries. These CDNs do not set tracking cookies.
- — Google Analytics — analytics service (activated only with analytics consent). Governed by the Google Analytics terms of service and Google's privacy policy.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit raldovan.info, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may choose between three preference levels:
- — Accept All: functional, analytics, and performance cookies are all activated
- — Accept Partial: functional and analytics cookies are activated; performance cookies are not
- — Functional Only: only cookies strictly required for the website to function are activated
To change your preference after the initial selection, click the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer. This re-opens the consent banner and allows you to update your choice.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies on a per-site basis. Blocking functional cookies may affect the ability of some site features to operate correctly.
Withdrawing Consent
Consent for non-functional cookies may be withdrawn at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer and selecting "Functional Only". Withdrawing consent does not affect any data collected prior to the withdrawal.
