1. About cookies
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. They can remember a setting, support a session or provide aggregated information about how pages are used. Stornev keeps the number of cookies limited and does not use them to build a personal advertising profile.
2. Session cookies
Session cookies may support basic navigation and security during a visit. They normally expire when the browser closes. They do not contain a name, email address or readable personal story.
3. Preference cookies
A preference record may remember a cookie choice so the banner does not repeatedly appear. The name may be stornev-cookie-choice and its lifespan is up to 12 months. It can be removed through browser settings.
4. Analytics
If enabled, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate page visits, referral patterns and broad device categories. They last for a maximum of 13 months and are optional. We use the information to improve structure and accessibility rather than to identify individual readers.
5. Consent
Non-essential cookies are not placed until you accept them. Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent access to editorial pages. You can change your browser settings or contact us to ask about your choice.
6. Third parties
Embedded services such as a map may set their own technologies when loaded. Their use is governed by the relevant provider’s policy. We aim to keep embedded content limited and explain its purpose where practical.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers allow cookies to be reviewed, blocked or deleted. Blocking every cookie may affect the display of preferences, but the main editorial content remains available. Browser help pages provide instructions for each device.
8. Contact
Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected] or 66 Corn Street, Bristol BS1 1AA. We aim to answer within 30 days.
9. Changes
This policy was reviewed on 9 September 2026. A future change will be dated on publication and will explain whether it affects consent choices or cookie lifespans.
10. Legal context
Our approach reflects UK privacy and electronic communications requirements. Where consent is needed, it is requested clearly and can be withdrawn. Records of consent choices are retained only for as long as needed to demonstrate the choice.
