Cookie Policy
What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Dargo Gazette ("the Publication", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar browser-based storage technologies on dargo.info. It forms part of our broader Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.
Dargo Gazette is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The Publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. Our use of cookies is limited to what is necessary for operating a functioning publication and understanding, in aggregate, how readers engage with our content.
By continuing to use this site after the cookie banner has been presented, you indicate your understanding of how we use cookies. You may withdraw or adjust your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link found in the footer of every page.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the site to recall information about your visit — for example, your language preference, whether a banner has been dismissed, or how you arrived at the page.
Cookies are not programs; they cannot execute code or carry viruses. They are passive records that a browser stores and returns to the originating server (or authorised third-party servers) on subsequent requests. Similar technologies — including local storage entries, session storage, and pixel tags — function in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
Cookies may be "first-party" (set by dargo.info directly) or "third-party" (set by external services we embed, such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks). They may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (retained until they expire or you delete them).
How We Categorise the Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the site to function. They enable core capabilities such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the correct presentation of content. Without them, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
Performance & Analytics
These cookies gather anonymised information about how visitors use the site — which pages are read most, how long readers spend on an article, and from which broad geographic region visits originate. This helps us understand which content serves readers well and which areas need attention.
Functional & Preference
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience — for example, your preferred display settings or whether you have dismissed a notice. They are not essential but provide a more consistent visit when present.
Third-Party Services
Certain pages embed content or tools provided by third-party services — including fonts delivered via Google Fonts and interactive maps. These services may set their own cookies or storage entries, subject to their own privacy policies, which we do not control.
Managing and Withdrawing Consent
You may adjust your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page on this site. This will re-open the consent panel, allowing you to accept all, accept partial, or accept only strictly necessary (functional) cookies.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies on a per-site or global basis. The following links provide browser-specific guidance:
- Google Chrome: Settings › Privacy and Security › Cookies and Other Site Data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences › Privacy › Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings › Cookies and Site Permissions
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair the functioning of the site. Blocking optional cookies will not prevent you from reading any content on Dargo Gazette.
To opt out of analytics data collection across participating sites, you may also install a browser opt-out extension provided by your analytics vendor of choice. Dargo Gazette does not sell reader data to any third party.
Our Legal Basis for Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest — they are required for the site to function, and no consent is needed for their use under applicable European data protection regulation.
All optional cookies — analytics, functional, and third-party — are set only with your consent, which is recorded when you make a selection in the cookie banner. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without consequence to your access to editorial content.
We process data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as applied in Austria. Our registered editorial address is Porzellangasse 53, 1090 Vienna, Austria.
Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in how we use cookies or changes in applicable legislation. When a material change is made, the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page will be updated.
We will not reduce your rights under this policy without clear notice. If a significant change is made, we will re-present the cookie consent banner so that you have the opportunity to review and re-confirm your preferences.
Continued use of the site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you have questions about this policy or how cookies are used, please write to us at [email protected].
Questions About This Policy
For any questions, corrections, or requests relating to cookies and data handling, the editorial office may be reached by post or email. We aim to respond to all correspondence within five working days.
