Cookie Policy

This page explains how ixmavelle.digital uses cookies and similar technologies, which categories we rely on, and how you can control them. It belongs with our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.

What cookies are, and what we use them for

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to remember your actions and preferences over time — the reason a page can keep a form half-filled while you check another tab. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in comparable ways, and this Cookie Policy covers them too.

Strictly necessary

Keep the site secure and functional, including basic navigation and form submission.

Always active

Analytics

Measure aggregate traffic and show which pages readers actually use.

Aggregate only

Preferences

Remember settings you choose, where the site offers them.

Where applicable

Advertising profiles

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of individual readers.

Not used

Why each one earns its place on the page

Every category above does a job that readers feel. If a cookie stopped doing real work for the site, it would come off this list.

Site works

Necessary cookies let core features such as contact forms and page navigation work correctly, without which parts of the site break or behave unpredictably.

Better coverage

Analytics show which elections, policy, and courts pages readers actually return to, so edits follow readership rather than guesses.

Fewer repeats

Preference cookies save the settings you set so you are not re-entering the same choices on every return visit to the site.

Third-party scope and managing cookies

Two limits run through both of these: providers only see what site measurement needs, and control over stored files always sits with you and your browser.

Which third parties can set cookies here?

Some features rely on third-party services that set their own cookies, for example analytics providers. Those providers process data under their own privacy policies, and we limit their cookies to what site measurement and core functionality require. We do not permit third-party advertising cookies on this site.

How do I block or delete cookies in my browser?

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and most browsers let you block them entirely. Clearing cookies removes existing files from your device. Keep in mind that blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working, including contact forms.

Do I need to change my settings to keep reading?

No. Browsing this site does not require new cookie settings. The choices you already have — allowing, blocking, or clearing cookies — are enough to use the site as usual, and nothing here changes them on your behalf.

Where do I send a question about this policy?

Questions about cookies can be sent through the contact page on ixmavelle.digital, or to the email address listed below. Include the browser you use and what you were trying to do if the issue is technical — it usually speeds up a reply.

Where site measurement ends and advertising begins

A short boundary: measurement, not marketing

Our analytics show things like which elections, policy, and courts pages get read and how people move between them — as totals, not profiles. That keeps two separate jobs apart: understanding which coverage helps readers, and reaching individual people with advertising. The site uses cookies for the first and not the second, and the categories listed above are the whole set in use.

If you have blocked or cleared cookies before, nothing on our side resets that decision. Your browser settings keep the final word on what this site can store on your device.

Changes to this policy, and how to reach us

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change or when the law requires it. Updates appear on this page with a revised date at the top, so you can always check back and see what changed. If a change affects how data is collected in a meaningful way, we will call it out here rather than quietly editing the wording.

Cookie questions, corrections, and access requests all go through the same route. Use the contact page, or write to the address on the right — either reaches the team that maintains this site, not a general inbox that never opens.
