Cookie Policy
Cookies are small browser records that help a website remember choices and keep a visit coherent. At Royale Lounge, we use them to support a clear, usable experience while leaving room for readers to manage their own browser settings.
Policy updates
We review this policy when our cookie practices change. A revised version carries a fresh date so readers can see when the wording was last updated. We encourage a quick look at the policy when returning after a long break, especially before changing browser preferences.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by services that help with measurement or embedded features. Their purpose is separate from the core functions that keep a visit working. Our approach is to distinguish those supporting records from the cookies needed to remember a reader’s immediate choices.
Consent choices
Your first choice
Where a choice is offered, readers may select the categories that suit them. Essential cookies remain tied to basic site use; optional categories are handled separately so the choice is meaningful rather than hidden inside a general setting.
Changing a choice
Our cookie settings are not a once-only decision. A reader may revisit the preference controls and amend an optional choice later. Browser controls provide an additional route for managing records already stored on a device.
Managing cookies in a browser
- Open the privacy or site-data area in the browser settings.
- Review saved cookies for the relevant browsing session and remove records that are no longer wanted.
- Set a future rule for accepting, blocking or clearing cookies, then revisit our preference controls if a choice needs changing.
These controls are useful when a shared device needs a clean handover. Removing cookies may also remove remembered preferences, so the next visit may begin with a fresh set of choices.
How we use cookies
Essential use
We use essential cookies to retain choices made during a visit and to keep the browsing journey consistent. They are about continuity: a setting selected at one point should not disappear without a reader deciding to change it.
Preferences and measurement
Preference cookies remember non-essential settings. Analytics cookies help us understand broad patterns in how pages are used, giving us a basis for improving clarity and navigation without turning an individual visit into a public profile.
Cookie types
Essential cookies
Essential cookies support the basic functioning of a visit. They are the practical layer behind saved session choices and a stable browsing path.
Preference and analytics cookies
Preference cookies retain selections, while analytics cookies contribute aggregated signals about page use. Each has a different job, and our consent choices separate them.
Affiliate cookies
Affiliate cookies may record a referral where that kind of relationship applies. They are distinct from the cookies used to preserve a reader’s immediate settings.
