Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 7 April 2025 · Effective Date: 7 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Riverlith ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar browser-based technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes more broadly how we handle personal data.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to remember information about your visit — for example, your preferences or whether you have previously acknowledged a notice. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to your browser and can only be read by the web server that issued them.
Related technologies, such as local storage and session storage, serve similar purposes and are also covered by this policy.
2. How we use cookies
Riverlith uses a small and deliberate set of cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, or cross-site tracking. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
3. Categories of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be turned off.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| rl_cookie_consent | Records whether you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so the notice is not shown on every page. | 12 months | localStorage |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier. Used to maintain state across pages during your visit. Contains no personal information. | Session | Session cookie |
3.2 Analytics cookies
If analytics are enabled, we may use a privacy-preserving analytics service to understand how visitors navigate the website in aggregate — such as which pages are visited most and where visitors typically arrive from. No individual is identified. Analytics are not used to build profiles or for any commercial targeting.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. Used only in aggregate; no personal information is retained by Riverlith. | 2 years | First-party cookie |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — maintains session state for aggregate reporting. | 2 years | First-party cookie |
Analytics cookies are optional. You may decline them via the cookie notice on your first visit, or by adjusting your browser settings at any time.
3.3 Third-party embeds
Our website embeds a Google Maps frame on the contact page to show our office location. When this map loads, Google may set its own cookies. These are outside our direct control. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for information on how Google handles data through its services.
4. What we do not use cookies for
We do not use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Serve or target advertising to you on this site or elsewhere
- Track you across other websites
- Build a profile of your browsing interests
- Share your data with advertising networks or data brokers
- Identify you personally without your direct consent
5. Your choices and controls
You have several ways to manage cookies:
- Cookie notice: When you first visit this website, you will see a brief notice. You may choose to accept or decline optional cookies at that point.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
- Device settings: On mobile devices, operating system settings may offer additional controls over cookie and tracking behaviour.
Declining optional cookies does not affect your ability to read this website or submit an enquiry.
6. Cookie retention
We retain cookies only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were placed, as indicated in the tables above. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire at the date specified or are removed when you clear your cookies manually.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new website features or third-party services. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
