Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026 | Tarloven | Austin, TX, United States
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Tarloven places on the tarloven.info website, the purpose of each cookie category, and how visitors may control their cookie preferences through the consent interface provided on this site.
This policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data collected via cookies is handled, retained, and protected. By accepting non-essential cookies through the consent banner, you agree to the placement of cookies as described below.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits, store preferences, and gather analytical information about how the site is used.
Cookies may be classified by duration:
- —Session cookies: Temporary cookies deleted automatically when you close your browser. They maintain continuity within a single browsing session.
- —Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a defined period after the session ends. They are used for preference retention and analytics across multiple visits.
Cookies may also be classified by origin: first-party cookies are set by tarloven.info directly; third-party cookies are set by external services loaded within this website (such as CDN providers or analytics platforms).
Cookie Categories Used on This Site
Tarloven uses cookies in three categories. The consent banner on this site provides separate controls for each non-essential category.

Disabling functional cookies may affect certain features but will not prevent access to core site content.

| NID | Google Maps embed — stores user preferences for map display | 6 months |
| CONSENT | Google — registers cookie consent state for Google services | 2 years |
| SOCS | Google — encodes security and preference data for embedded services | 13 months |
Third-Party Service Cookies

- —Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com): Loads display and body typefaces. Standard request logging applies. No cross-site tracking.
- —Fontshare (api.fontshare.com): Loads the PP Editorial New typeface. Request logging applies per Fontshare's privacy policy.

Tarloven does not control the cookies set by these third-party services. Their use is governed by the respective provider's privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reviewing directly.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit tarloven.info, a cookie consent banner is displayed. This banner provides three options:
- —Accept All: Enables strictly necessary, analytics, and functional cookies as described above.
- —Partial: Enables strictly necessary and functional cookies. Analytics cookies are not activated.
- —Functional Only: Enables only strictly necessary cookies required for the site to operate. No analytics or enhanced functional cookies are placed.
Your preference is stored in the tarloven_consent cookie for a period of 12 months. You may revisit or change your preferences at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the site footer.
Browser-Level Cookie Controls
Independent of the consent banner, all major browsers provide native settings to view, block, or delete cookies stored on your device. Access these settings through your browser's privacy or security preferences. Note that blocking all cookies at the browser level may affect the basic function of some website features.
- —Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- —Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- —Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- —Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies
Opt-Out Tools for Analytics
Where analytics cookies rely on Google Analytics, visitors may use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent data collection across all sites that use Google Analytics. This add-on is available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Visitors may also opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal at optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.
Updates to This Policy
Tarloven may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies used on this site, changes in applicable regulation, or changes in the third-party services embedded within the site. The revision date at the top of this document is updated with each substantive change.
Where an update materially changes the cookies placed without consent, we will re-present the consent banner so that existing visitors may review and re-confirm their preferences. Continued use of the site following a non-material update constitutes acknowledgement of the revised policy.
