Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 14 April 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function reliably, to understand how visitors interact with a site, and to deliver a more consistent browsing experience.
Our website at riversto.site uses cookies and similar technologies. This page explains the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
2. Cookie Categories
We use four categories of cookies. Essential cookies are required for the site to operate and cannot be switched off. The remaining three categories are optional and can be managed through your preferences.
2.1 Essential Cookies Essential
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They support core features such as page navigation, form submission, and security. The site cannot operate correctly without them. They do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
Examples: Session management, CSRF protection tokens, cookie consent preference storage.
2.2 Analytics Cookies Optional
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and which content is most useful. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to improve our website and programme information.
Examples: Page view tracking, session duration, referral source, device and browser type.
2.3 Marketing Cookies Optional
Marketing cookies allow us to show relevant content to visitors who have previously shown an interest in our programmes. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising platforms. If you disable these cookies, you may see less relevant advertising when you browse other websites.
Examples: Retargeting pixels, advertising frequency capping, conversion tracking.
2.4 Preference Cookies Optional
These cookies remember your settings and personalisation choices so you do not need to re-enter them each time you visit. They improve your experience without collecting personally identifiable information.
Examples: Language preference, display settings, previously viewed programme summaries.
