This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they are used on the Colentum Archaeological Park website, which types of cookies may be set on it and how you can manage your cookie settings.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website or its service provider stores on your computer or mobile device through your web browser (if you allow it). They allow the website to recognise your browser and to retain and remember certain information. Cookies can be first-party cookies (set by our website) or third-party cookies (set by an external service provider).
Using cookies is safe. Cookies do not store your email address or phone number, and email and telemarketing campaigns are not the result of cookies.
External service providers whose content is embedded on the website (Google and YouTube) may use cookies or similar technologies to process data such as your IP address and cookie identifiers. That is why this content loads only with your consent, which you give in the cookie banner. Read more about this in the section Third-party cookies and in our Privacy Policy.
How we use cookies
Cookies are used on this website to:
- ensure the technical operation of the website and content administration,
- remember your choice in the cookie banner,
- display third-party content – interactive maps (Google My Maps and Google Maps) and video (YouTube) – only with your consent.
We do not use analytics or marketing cookies and do not track your behaviour on the website to show you advertisements.
Disabling cookies
On your first visit to the website, a cookie banner appears in which you choose whether to accept all cookies, only necessary ones, or customise your choice. You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie settings in the footer of the website.
In your browser settings you can enable or disable cookies, ask to be warned every time a cookie is sent, or delete cookies already stored. Every browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge…) is slightly different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to find out how to change your cookie settings.
Disabling cookies may affect how the website works – for example, embedded maps and video may not be displayed.
Cookies we set
| Type | Purpose | Do we use them |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Required for the basic functionality of the website and cannot be disabled. | Yes. The cookie colentum_privola remembers your choice in the cookie banner (duration: 6 months). In addition, WordPress sets technical cookies (e.g. wordpress_test_cookie, wordpress_logged_in_*) only for editors who log in to the administration. |
| Functional | Remember user settings, e.g. the selected language or region. | No. The selected language is recognised from the page address (e.g. /en/), not from a cookie. |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the website. | No. |
| Marketing | Used to show advertisements tailored to user behaviour. | No. |
Third-party cookies
The website contains embedded content from external service providers, which may set their own cookies on your device. This content loads only when you accept external content in the cookie banner (or click “Show map”). Until then, a notice is shown instead of the map and a photo instead of the video. We have no influence over third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the policies of those providers.
| Provider | Where and why | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Google My Maps, Google Maps) | The interactive map of the site on the home page and the map on the Report a Find page. Google may set cookies (e.g. NID) for the map to work, for security and to remember settings. | Google – cookies |
| YouTube (Google) | The video in the background of the home page. The video loads in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), but YouTube may store data in your browser during playback. | Google – privacy policy |
The links to Facebook and YouTube in the website footer are ordinary links – these services set cookies only when you open them.
