Tarleno Dispatch is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday nutrition practices and weight awareness. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on this website, in accordance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile — when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and in some cases track your behaviour across the web. Cookies set by the website operator are called “first-party cookies”; those set by third-party services embedded in the page are called “third-party cookies”.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, and device fingerprinting, can serve similar purposes and are regarded under the same rules in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
This website uses a small number of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, for cross-site tracking, or for building profiles about your browsing habits. Our use of cookies falls into three categories as described below.
These cookies are essential for this website to function. Without them, certain parts of the website would not work. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under PECR.
| Cookie name | Set by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| td_consent | Tarleno Dispatch | Records your cookie consent choices so the banner is not shown on every page load. Expires after 180 days. |
| PHPSESSID | Web server | Standard server session identifier. Deleted when the browser is closed (session cookie). Required for the contact form submission to function correctly. |
This website does not currently use any performance or analytics cookies. We do not run Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any similar user-tracking or behavioural analytics service. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are set.
A number of third-party JavaScript and CSS libraries are loaded from external CDN providers when you visit this website. These providers may set their own cookies or log your IP address and request data. The libraries used are listed below.
| Provider | Resource served | Their privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| FontShare (fontshare.com) | Clash Display & Satoshi fonts | fontshare.com/privacy-policy |
| jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net) | FontAwesome, Swiper, Fancybox, Popper, Tippy, Chart.js | jsdelivr.com/privacy-policy |
| jQuery CDN (code.jquery.com) | jQuery 3.7.1 | openjsf.org/privacy-policy |

| Cloudflare CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com) | GSAP 3.12.2, ScrollTrigger, CountUp.js | cloudflare.com/privacypolicy |
These third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control how they log or use request data. Loading these resources from CDNs is common practice for website performance; if you prefer not to have your browser contact these providers, you may disable JavaScript in your browser settings, though some page functionality will then be unavailable.

You may change your preference at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page. Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie (td_consent) for 180 days.
