Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Effective: May 14, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Let The Raven Talk uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on lettheraventalk.com. By using our site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how users interact with the site. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage objects, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” throughout this policy.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies — These are necessary for the Platform to function correctly. They enable core functionality like session management and security. You cannot opt out of these cookies.

Analytics Cookies — We use tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most popular, how long people stay, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and used to improve our editorial decisions and platform performance.

Advertising & Targeting Cookies — We work with third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense, which set cookies to serve you personalized advertisements based on your browsing history across websites. These cookies track your activity over time and across different sites.

Functional Cookies — These remember your preferences (such as newsletter settings or preferred content categories) to give you a more personalized experience.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Platform are set by third parties, including:

Google AdSense / Google Ads: For ad targeting and measurement
Google Analytics: For site traffic analysis
Social sharing widgets: (e.g., Twitter/X, LinkedIn) which may set their own cookies
Email marketing platforms: To track newsletter engagement (opens, clicks)

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to each provider’s privacy policy for more information.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our Platform.
Google Ad Settings: Visit adssettings.google.com to control how Google uses your data for ad personalization.
NAI Opt-Out: optout.networkadvertising.org
Your Online Choices (EU): youronlinechoices.eu

Heads up: Opting out of advertising cookies does not mean you will stop seeing ads — it means the ads shown will no longer be tailored to your interests.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Our Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no consistent industry standard for compliance. We will revisit this as standards evolve.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date.
