Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 January 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have previously interacted with the cookie consent mechanism — over the course of a single session or across multiple visits.
Cookies are widely used across the web and, when used appropriately, contribute to a more consistent reading experience. This policy explains which cookies Tarnela Review uses, why, and how you can control them.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Always ActiveThese cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They include the cookie that records your consent preferences so that you are not presented with the consent banner on every page load. Without these cookies, certain core site functions would not operate as expected.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under UK GDPR and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings panel.
- cookie_consent — stores your cookie preference selection. Duration: 12 months.
- session_id — maintains session state. Duration: session.
Analytics Cookies
Consent RequiredAnalytics cookies allow us to understand how visitors engage with the Tarnela Review website. They record information such as which pages are viewed, how long a visitor spends on a page, and which article was read most recently in a session. All data collected through analytics cookies is anonymised and processed in aggregate — it is not used to identify individual visitors.
These cookies are only placed if you accept analytics cookies via the consent banner or Cookie Settings panel.
- _analytics_id — anonymised visitor identifier. Duration: 13 months.
- _session_count — counts the number of sessions from a device. Duration: 24 months.
Functional Cookies
Consent RequiredFunctional cookies enhance your experience on the site by remembering preferences you have set — for example, font size or display mode — across visits. They are not strictly required for the site to function but contribute to a more consistent reading experience.
- display_prefs — stores display preference selections. Duration: 6 months.
Third-Party Cookies
Consent RequiredSome pages on the Tarnela Review website embed content from third-party services — for example, an embedded map on the contact page. These services may place their own cookies on your device subject to their own privacy policies. Tarnela Review does not control these cookies directly.
Third-party embeds are only activated if you accept the relevant cookie category. You can adjust these preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings panel.
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit tarnela.info, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept a partial set, or accept functional cookies only. Your selection is stored for 12 months.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page, or by using the button below:

4. Cookies and Personal Data
Where cookies are used to process personal data — such as an anonymised identifier tied to a device — this processing is covered by our Privacy Policy. We recommend reading both documents together for a full picture of how your data is handled on tarnela.info.
Analytics cookies on this site are configured to anonymise IP addresses before any data is recorded. We do not use cookies to build individual user profiles for commercial purposes or to share identifiable data with third parties.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or changes in applicable law. The date shown at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
