Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how ronntorossian.com (the "Site," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit the Site. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal information more broadly.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and software development kits (SDKs), all of which can perform comparable functions.

Cookies set by the operator of the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics and content embedding.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several reasons, including:

• Strictly Necessary: required for the Site to function properly, including security, network management, and accessibility. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Performance and Analytics: help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously, including which pages are most and least popular and how visitors move through the Site.
• Functional: enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings.
• Embedded Content: when articles include embedded content from third-party platforms (for example, video players or social media posts), those platforms may set their own cookies.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through the Site and to enable you to use certain features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use the Site, such as which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. The information is aggregated and anonymized and is used to improve how the Site works.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Some pages on the Site may display content from third-party providers. To view this content, you may first have to accept their specific terms and cookies. We do not control the setting of these cookies, and we recommend you review the relevant third party's website for more information.

4. How Long Cookies Stay on Your Device

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. "Session cookies" exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. "Persistent cookies" survive after your browser is closed and can be used to recognize your device when you reopen your browser, until they expire or are deleted.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can:

• View the cookies stored on your device and delete them individually.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Block all cookies from particular sites.
• Block all cookies from being set.
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

Please be aware that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the Site and prevent you from using certain features. For more information about how to manage cookies, visit aboutcookies.org or your browser's help documentation.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. Because no consistent industry standard for DNT has been adopted, the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was most recently revised.
