Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how betweenthetemples.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember useful information such as session preferences, consent decisions, and technical settings that improve the browsing experience. We use cookies in a measured way to maintain core functionality, support security, and understand broad site usage trends.
Types of Cookies
- Essential cookies: required for core website functionality, security checks, and stable page behavior.
- Preference cookies: store consent and basic usability settings so the site behaves consistently.
- Analytics cookies: collect aggregated usage insights that help us improve content structure and performance.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. Without these cookies, key parts of the site may not work as intended. Examples include cookies that remember your age verification state during a browsing session and cookies that retain a previously selected cookie-consent action. Because these cookies are tightly linked to technical operation and compliance responsibilities, they may be used without optional marketing behavior.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies help us remember choices you make so you do not need to repeat them on every page. This can include interface-related settings and consent history that keeps your browsing flow smooth. Preference cookies are designed to improve convenience rather than track personal behavior in a detailed or invasive manner.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website at an aggregate level. We look at general patterns such as popular pages, approximate session duration, and technical performance signals. These insights help us improve readability, page speed, and navigation quality. We do not use analytics cookies to identify you personally on this website, and we avoid collecting unnecessary granular data.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by trusted third-party services that support analytics, security, or embedded functionality. When you follow an external affiliate link and leave this website, third-party operators may place their own cookies under their own legal terms. We do not control cookie behavior on third-party domains and recommend reviewing the cookie and privacy notices of any external site you visit.
Cookie Duration
Cookies can be session-based or persistent. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted. Duration depends on the cookie's purpose, browser behavior, and configuration. We aim to apply retention periods that are proportionate to operational and compliance needs.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through browser settings, where you can block, delete, or limit cookie storage. Most browsers also allow selective control by site. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact functionality, including consent handling or stability of some page elements. If you clear browser data, your cookie preferences may reset and you may see consent prompts again.
Do Not Track and Browser Signals
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is currently no universal technical standard for responding to this signal across all services. We continue to monitor industry and regulatory developments and may update our implementation approach as standards evolve.
Legal Basis and Compliance
Where applicable, we rely on legitimate interests for essential technical cookies and on consent mechanisms for non-essential categories when required by law. We design our consent interactions to be clear and easy to understand. You can revisit your browser-level choices at any time and adjust cookie settings according to your preference.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect the way certain pages or features behave.
Policy Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy when legal requirements, technical infrastructure, or product functionality changes. The latest version is published on this page and becomes effective once posted. We recommend checking this policy periodically to stay informed about how cookie-related technologies are used on the site.
