Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2026 — Raldon, Jakarta, Indonesia
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 correctly and to provide site operators with information about how readers navigate and use content.
Cookies are not executable programmes. They cannot install software, access files stored on your device, or transmit viruses. A cookie stores only the information it was set to store.
This Cookie Policy explains the categories of cookies Raldon uses, the purposes for each, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. How Raldon Uses Cookies
Raldon uses cookies for three distinct purposes: to keep the website functioning correctly, to understand how readers engage with our content in aggregate, and to enable certain embedded third-party content such as maps.
We do not use cookies to build individual reader profiles, to serve behavioural advertising, or to share personally identifiable information with advertising networks. Raldon does not display third-party advertising and has no advertising-related cookies on its pages.
3. Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They store your cookie consent choice so that the consent banner does not reappear on every page visit, and they maintain basic session state while you browse the site.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| raldon_consent | Stores your cookie consent selection | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Server-side session identifier | Session |
These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting the basic functionality of the site. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how readers interact with Raldon content. The data collected is anonymised and aggregated — it shows us which articles are read most, how long readers spend on a page, and which navigation paths are common. This information is used to guide editorial decisions.
No personally identifiable information is stored in analytics cookies. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. Analytics data is not shared with advertising networks or used for any purpose beyond improving the journal.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors (anonymised) | 24 months |
| _gid | Stores and counts page views | 24 hours |
| _gat | Throttles request rate | 1 minute |
Third-Party Cookies
Certain pages on Raldon include embedded content from third-party services — most notably Google Maps on our contact page. When these embeds load, the third-party provider may set its own cookies on your device. Raldon does not control the content or behaviour of these third-party cookies.
Google Maps is provided by Google LLC. For information on how Google handles data collected through Maps embeds, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may update your cookie preferences at any time. Three options are available through the Raldon cookie consent panel:
-
Accept All Enables strictly necessary, analytics, and third-party cookies. Provides the fullest reading experience including embedded maps and content.
-
Accept Partial Enables strictly necessary and analytics cookies only. Third-party embedded content may be limited.
-
Functional Only Enables strictly necessary cookies only. Analytics cookies and third-party cookies are blocked. Some embedded content will not load.
To open the preferences panel, click the button below or use the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer.
5. Browser-Level Cookie Controls
In addition to the consent panel on this site, all modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies at the browser level. Instructions vary by browser:
- ■ 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 → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Note that blocking all cookies at the browser level may affect the function of strictly necessary cookies and prevent certain site features from working correctly.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
Raldon may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or editorial practice. When updates are made, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the site following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or about how Raldon handles personal information more broadly, please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us directly at [email protected].
