Ralon is an independent wellness resource focused on everyday nutrition and active lifestyle practices for men. The content is not affiliated with any governmental or institutional body.
This Cookie Policy explains how Ralon ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit ralon.info (the "Site"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
Reading this policy alongside our Privacy Policy is recommended, as cookies are one of the ways in which we collect information about Site visitors. You can review our Privacy Policy at any time via the link in the footer.
Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, phone, or handheld device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to function more efficiently, and to provide information to the operators of the site.
Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics or embedded content. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Cookies may be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
The Site uses the following categories of cookies. You can manage your preferences for each category through the cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser settings as described in Section 5.
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site may not then work correctly.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ralon_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences so the banner is not shown on every page | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier used for contact form security validation | Session |
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Site. They help us understand which pages are most and least popular, and see how visitors navigate around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited the Site and will not be able to monitor its performance.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors using a randomly generated identifier; all data is anonymised | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Used to persist session state across page views | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Used to distinguish visitors for session-level analysis | 24 hours |
Functional cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to the Site, such as embedded content or interactive features. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ralon_pref | Stores UI display preferences such as reading mode or last-visited section | 6 months |
Some cookies on the Site are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies, and you should check the relevant third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.

You have several options for managing cookies:
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only selected categories, or accept functional cookies only. To review or update your preferences at any time, click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser settings. The following links provide guidance for the most common browsers:
Please note that restricting all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically across all websites, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about visit activity with Google Analytics.
Where cookies collect personal information (such as IP addresses, even in anonymised form), such collection and use is governed by our Privacy Policy. For analytics cookies, IP anonymisation is enabled, meaning only a truncated version of the IP address is processed.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information, build advertising profiles, or share data with advertising networks.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
Continued use of the Site following any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy. Where changes are material, we will display a notice on the Site or re-trigger the consent banner.
If you have questions about our use of cookies or wish to exercise any rights in relation to cookie-related data, please contact us:
