1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They enable the website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or whether you have already been shown a particular notice — either for the duration of your session or for a defined period afterwards.
Cookies serve different functions depending on their category. Some are strictly necessary for the site to function (for example, to maintain session state across page loads), while others are used to collect anonymised usage data or to improve your experience on return visits.
2. How We Use Cookies on eloka.info
eloka.info uses cookies for three principal purposes: to ensure the site functions as intended (functional cookies), to understand how visitors interact with the site (analytical cookies), and to store your consent preferences (preference cookies). We do not use advertising, retargeting, or tracking cookies.
We do not use cookies to build individual user profiles, infer personal attributes, or share behavioural data with advertising networks. Analytical data collected via cookies on this site is aggregated and anonymised before any reporting or review.
3. Cookie Categories Used on This Site
Strictly Necessary
Always active — cannot be disabled

These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, the site cannot operate correctly.

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with eloka.info — which pages are visited most frequently, how long sessions last, and which content is most frequently read. The data is aggregated and anonymised; no individual is identified. This information guides editorial decisions about content prioritisation.

Purpose: Aggregated traffic and engagement reporting
Duration: Up to 24 months

Functional cookies remember choices you make on the site — for example, language preference or whether you have previously dismissed a site notice. They improve your experience on return visits by restoring these preferences without requiring you to re-enter them.
Purpose: Retaining display and preference settings
Duration: Up to 12 months
4. Third-Party Cookies
eloka.info loads a number of third-party libraries to support site functionality — including JavaScript libraries served from content delivery networks (CDNs). When these CDN resources are loaded, the CDN provider may set their own cookies or collect server log data in accordance with their own privacy policies. These third-party cookies are outside our direct control.
Where the contact page embeds a Google Maps viewer, Google may set cookies in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies. We have configured the embed to use the privacy-preserving loading attribute where available.
We do not embed social media plugins, advertising pixels, or cross-site tracking scripts. No data is shared with advertising networks through this site.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may manage your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of this page, which re-opens the consent panel. From there you may accept all cookies, accept only functional cookies, or select a partial combination.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies for any website you have visited. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair basic site functionality.

6. Retention Periods
Session cookies expire automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies have a defined expiry date, after which they are deleted automatically. The maximum retention period for any cookie set by eloka.info is 24 months. Where a shorter period is appropriate for the cookie's function, a shorter duration is used.
Cookies set by third-party providers (CDNs, Google Maps) are governed by the retention policies of those providers. We encourage you to review the privacy documentation of any third party whose services you encounter while using this site.
7. Updates to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or changes in applicable law. The revision date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was last published. Where changes are material, we will re-display the cookie consent panel so that you may review the updated information and reconfirm your preferences.
