Cookie Policy
RangeJournal.com — Last updated: May 6, 2026
RangeJournal.com uses only necessary cookies by default. Optional cookie categories require your explicit consent.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. RangeJournal.com uses cookies only for the purposes described below.
2. Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the service to function and cannot be disabled. They include a PHP session cookie that keeps you logged in and a CSRF token cookie that prevents cross-site request forgery. Without these cookies, login and secure form submission do not work reliably.
3. Preference cookies
Preference cookies allow the application to remember your settings and choices across visits, such as display preferences. These are only set if you consent to the Preferences category in the cookie banner.
4. Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed and session duration, to help us improve the service. These are only set if you consent to the Analytics category. RangeJournal.com does not currently use third-party analytics services; if this changes, this policy will be updated before such services become active.
5. Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies track browsing behaviour to enable personalised advertising. RangeJournal.com does not currently use marketing cookies or advertising networks. This category is listed for transparency. If activated in future, this policy will be updated first.
6. Your consent
When you first visit RangeJournal.com, a cookie consent banner asks for your preferences. You can select individual categories or choose "Accept all" or "Necessary only". Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer.
7. Third-party CDNs
This site loads Bootstrap CSS and Bootstrap Icons from third-party CDNs (jsDelivr / Unpkg). These CDNs deliver files to your browser but do not set cookies and do not receive your session data.
8. How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking necessary session cookies will prevent login from working correctly.
