Small files, clearly explained.
This policy outlines how cookies and similar technologies are used on delvornpo.site.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. They can remember preferences, support security or help a website understand broad usage patterns.
2. Essential storage
Delvorn may use a short session preference to remember a visitor’s response to the cookie banner. This is normally retained for the browser session or until the preference is cleared.
3. Analytics
Optional analytics, if enabled in future, would use a named provider and a clear consent choice. No analytics service is required to read the editorial pages.
4. Preference controls
Visitors can clear cookies through browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect the way preference controls behave, but the core articles remain readable.
5. Updates
This page was reviewed on 9 September 2026. Changes to providers, purposes or lifespans will be reflected in a new dated version.
6. Contact
Questions about cookies can be sent to [email protected] or posted to 42 Deansgate, Manchester M1 1AA.
7. Cookie categories and examples
Cookies on this site are grouped by purpose so that visitors can understand what is stored. Essential storage supports the operation of the consent interface, while preference storage remembers a choice made by the visitor. Optional analytics storage would be activated only after a clear choice where consent is required.
- consent_status: records the cookie-banner choice and may last for up to 180 days.
- session_preference: supports a temporary page preference and normally lasts until the browser session ends.
- analytics_id: would identify a returning browser for broad measurement only, with a maximum lifespan of 13 months if enabled after consent.
8. Local storage and similar tools
A browser may also retain a small preference value through session storage or local storage when a script needs to remember an interface choice. These values are not used to build a profile of a visitor or infer sensitive interests. Clearing browser storage can remove the choice and may cause the consent prompt to appear again.
9. Third-party content
An embedded map or another external resource may set its own technical storage when a visitor chooses to load it. The provider’s own notice explains the relevant processing, because Delvorn cannot control the settings of a separate service. Visitors who prefer not to load an external resource can leave the page without activating the embed.
10. Managing choices
Visitors can use the Cookie Settings control in the banner, remove stored data through browser settings or block selected categories through supported browser controls. Instructions vary between browsers and operating systems. Blocking optional storage does not prevent access to the editorial pages, although the site may not remember a previous preference.
Where a visitor withdraws consent, Delvorn will stop setting the relevant optional storage and will retain only a limited record needed to remember the withdrawal. That record is normally kept for up to 36 months before review.
11. International service arrangements
Some hosting, security or measurement services may process technical information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, Delvorn seeks an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards and limits the information sent to what the service needs. The use of an optional analytics tool would be reviewed before activation.
12. Review history and contact
This policy was reviewed on 9 September 2026. Changes to a cookie name, provider, purpose or lifespan will be recorded in a later dated version so visitors can compare the practical effect.
Questions can be sent to [email protected] or posted to Delvorn Health Ltd, 42 Deansgate, Manchester M1 1AA. The team aims to acknowledge messages within five working days and respond to a straightforward cookie query within 20 working days.
13. Consent records and withdrawal
A consent record may include the date, broad choice and a technical identifier needed to prevent the same banner appearing repeatedly. It does not need to contain a detailed browsing history. Consent can be withdrawn through the settings control or by clearing browser storage, and the site will treat a new choice as applying from that point forward.
Where a visitor rejects optional storage, the rejection may be retained for up to 180 days so the prompt does not repeatedly interrupt reading. The record is reviewed and removed when it is no longer needed for that purpose.
14. Security and international processing
Cookie values should not contain passwords, payment details or the contents of private messages. Delvorn uses reasonable controls to restrict access to consent records and technical logs. If a service processes data outside the United Kingdom, Delvorn seeks an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguard before relying on that arrangement.
15. Change log and contact route
This policy was reviewed on 9 September 2026, including the purpose and proposed lifespan of consent_status, session_preference and any optional analytics identifier. A future change will state the new date and explain whether a provider, cookie name, purpose or retention period has changed.
Questions can be sent to [email protected] or posted to Delvorn Health Ltd, 42 Deansgate, Manchester M1 1AA. Messages are normally acknowledged within five working days and a straightforward request is usually answered within 20 working days.
