Small files, clear choices.
Last updated 9 September 2026.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. They help a website remember a preference, keep a session stable or understand broad usage patterns. Drelvon uses a restrained approach and does not use cookies to build a personal profile for sale.
2. Session cookies
Session values support basic page operation and usually expire when the browser closes. They do not contain readable personal details. Blocking them may affect navigation or form behaviour.
3. Preference cookies
Preference values may remember a reader’s choice for up to 12 months. They exist to avoid asking the same question repeatedly. A reader can clear them through browser controls.
4. Analytics
If optional measurement is enabled, analytics values may remain for up to 13 months. They are used in aggregate to understand which editorial pages are useful. They are not required to read articles.
5. Consent
Optional values are set only after a reader makes a choice. Refusing optional cookies does not block ordinary reading. The consent record may be retained for up to 12 months to remember the decision.
6. Browser controls
Every major browser provides controls for viewing, deleting and blocking cookies. Settings vary by browser and device. Clearing values may reset previously selected preferences.
7. Third parties
Embedded services, where present, may set their own values under their own policies. Drelvon reviews embedded tools before publication. External pages remain responsible for their own practices.
8. Retention
Cookie lifespans are limited to the periods described above. Server logs connected with cookie requests are generally retained for up to 90 days. We periodically review whether each value remains necessary.
9. Contact
Questions about cookies can be sent to [email protected] or 88 Market Street, Bradford BD1 1AA. Please describe the browser and page involved. We aim to respond within one calendar month.
10. Changes
This page was published on 9 September 2026. Future revisions will carry a new date and explain material changes. The policy should be read alongside the privacy policy.
9. Cookie names and lifespans
Where the site uses a consent banner, the preference record may be stored as drelvon_cookie_consent for up to 12 months. A temporary session value may be identified as drelvon_session and normally ends when the browser closes. If optional analytics is enabled, an analytics provider may use names such as _ga and _ga_*, generally for up to 13 months, subject to the provider’s current configuration.
These names describe the categories we may encounter rather than a promise that every value is active on every page. The site team checks the banner and consent record when tools are added or removed. A reader can ask for the current cookie inventory by emailing [email protected].
- a) Essential session values support page operation and do not require optional consent.
- b) Preference values remember a choice so the banner is not repeatedly shown.
- c) Analytics values are optional and can be refused without blocking article access.
10. Third-party services and transfers
The contact page may include Google Maps, and optional measurement may involve an analytics provider. Loading an embedded service can allow that provider to receive technical information such as an IP address, browser details and the page address. External providers publish their own cookie information and may process data outside the United Kingdom.
Drelvon will seek consent before setting non-essential values through optional tools. When international processing occurs, we rely on an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism and review the provider’s safeguards. Readers can avoid embedded requests by not opening pages that contain the relevant service or by using browser protections.
- a) Google Maps is used to show the Bradford contact location.
- b) Analytics is used only for aggregate editorial measurement when enabled.
- c) Provider settings and policies may change, so this page is reviewed periodically.
11. Consent records, complaints and change log
A consent choice may be recorded so that Drelvon can demonstrate when optional cookies were accepted or refused. The record normally remains for up to 12 months and is then renewed or removed. A reader may change their choice through the cookie controls where available or by emailing [email protected].
Questions about cookies are acknowledged within five working days and normally answered within 20 working days. This page was reviewed on 9 September 2026, following the initial publication of the site policy. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date.
- a) First published: 9 September 2026.
- b) Current review: 9 September 2026.
- c) Next routine review target: September 2027 or after a material tool change.
9. Cookie names and lifespans
The consent record may be stored as drelvon_cookie_consent for up to 12 months. A temporary session value may be identified as drelvon_session and normally ends when the browser closes. If optional analytics is enabled, a provider may use names such as _ga and _ga_*, commonly with a lifespan of up to 13 months, subject to its current configuration.
These names describe the categories Drelvon may encounter rather than a statement that every value is active on every page. The team reviews the banner and browser settings when tools are added or removed. Readers can request a current inventory by emailing [email protected].
- a) Essential values support basic operation.
- b) Preference values record a consent choice.
- c) Optional measurement values can be refused without blocking article access.
10. Third-party services and transfer context
The contact page may include Google Maps, and optional measurement may involve an analytics provider. Loading an embedded service can send technical information such as browser details, IP address and the page address to that provider. The provider’s own privacy and cookie information may therefore apply.
Non-essential values are not set until the relevant choice has been recorded. Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom, in which case Drelvon considers an appropriate transfer mechanism and relevant safeguards. Browser extensions and privacy settings may also block third-party values independently.
- a) Embedded maps are used to show the Bradford location.
- b) Analytics, if enabled, is used for broad editorial measurement.
- c) Provider settings can change and are reviewed periodically.
11. Consent records, complaints and changes
A consent choice may be recorded so Drelvon can remember whether optional cookies were accepted or refused. The record normally remains for up to 12 months and is then renewed or removed. A reader may change the choice through the cookie controls where available or by contacting [email protected].
Cookie questions are normally acknowledged within five working days and answered within 20 working days when investigation is needed. This page was reviewed on 9 September 2026. Material changes to tools, names or lifespans will be reflected by updating the review date and, where appropriate, the consent notice.
- a) First published: 9 September 2026.
- b) Current review: 9 September 2026.
- c) Next routine review: September 2027 or after a material tool change.
