1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on a browser or device. Similar technologies, such as local storage or server logs, may perform related functions. They can help pages load correctly, remember a choice, protect forms, or provide aggregated information about how a website is used.
2. Essential cookies
Essential technologies may be used where they are necessary to provide a requested feature, maintain security, manage traffic, prevent abuse, or remember a privacy choice. Because these functions support the basic operation of the site, blocking them may cause some pages or forms to work incorrectly.
3. Preference cookies
If preference features are introduced, a cookie may remember a visitor’s language, display choice, or consent setting. These cookies are intended to reduce repeated selections and improve continuity between page visits.
4. Measurement and analytics
jaruwiz may use limited analytics to understand general patterns such as page visits, device categories, loading errors, and navigation paths. Where required, non-essential measurement tools are activated only after consent. We aim to use aggregated or minimised information rather than information intended to identify individual readers.
5. Third-party technologies
Hosting, security, form-delivery, or analytics providers may set or read their own technologies when their services are used. The provider controls the precise name, purpose, and duration of those technologies. We review such services with the aim of limiting them to functions relevant to operating jaruwiz.
6. Advertising and profiling
jaruwiz does not use cookies to diagnose health conditions or build medical profiles from the lifestyle pages you read. If advertising or personalised services are added in the future, this policy and any consent controls should be updated before those tools are used.
7. How long cookies remain
Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry date or until they are removed manually. Retention periods depend on the purpose of the technology and should be limited to what is reasonably necessary.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies. These controls are usually available under privacy, security, site data, or content settings. You can also configure many browsers to ask before saving new cookies. Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences, including a previous consent choice.
9. Consent choices
Where a cookie banner or preference panel is available, you can use it to accept or reject optional categories. A later choice should replace the earlier one. Essential technologies may continue to operate because they are required for the service or security function requested.
10. Do Not Track signals
Browser-based “Do Not Track” signals are not interpreted consistently across all websites and services. We continue to follow the choices made through any cookie controls provided on jaruwiz and the settings available in your browser.
11. Updates to this policy
This policy may be updated when technologies or providers change. The revised version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date.
