This Cookie Policy explains how elwarbraja.com uses cookies and similar storage technologies. It forms part of Elwar Braja’s Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file stored by a browser. A website may also use local storage or similar technologies to remember choices, maintain security, measure use, display advertising, or load third-party content.
2. Categories used

4. Elwar Braja aggregated analytics
In addition to Google Analytics cookies, the website may send permitted events to Elwar Braja’s own counter system. This system stores monthly period, component code, search or click action, destination, source, country code, hit count, and counter update time.
The counter database does not store full IP addresses, names, email addresses, user-agents, languages, or referrer URLs. An IP address may still be processed temporarily for security, approximate country detection, and rate limiting, but it is not added to the aggregated analytics table.
5. Advertising and sponsors
If Google AdSense or another ad network is enabled, third-party vendors may place or read cookies and use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers for ad delivery and measurement. Those technologies are subject to consent choices and applicable rules.
A direct sponsor ad consisting of a static image and link may appear without advertising cookies. If a direct sponsor uses tracking, pixels, or additional measurement, that technology is treated as Advertising & Measurement.
6. Managing your choices
You can select Privacy Settings on the website to accept, reject, or change optional categories. Necessary & Security cannot be disabled through the panel because it is required for secure operation.
You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent login, comments, language preferences, external media, or other functions from working properly.
7. Third-party services
More information about Google’s technologies is available at:
After you open or load an external service, its cookies are controlled by that provider.
8. Changes to this Policy
This Policy may be updated when website categories, cookies, providers, or features change. The latest update date appears at the top. New consent will be requested if a change requires it under applicable law.
