Cookie Policy.
This document describes how Telova Field Notes uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit this publication. It was last reviewed and updated in January 2026.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve their performance, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies may be set by the site you are visiting (referred to as first-party cookies) or by third-party services running content on that page.
This publication, Telova Field Notes, is operated as an independent editorial journal. We use a limited set of cookies, described in full below. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, sell data to third parties, or track visitors across unrelated websites.
Telova Field Notes is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body.
Categories of Cookies We Use
01 — Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the publication to function. Without them, certain features of the site will not operate correctly. They do not collect personal information about you and cannot be turned off through our preference centre.
Strictly necessary cookies include session identifiers that allow the site to remember your page navigation, security tokens that protect form submissions, and your cookie consent preference so we do not display the banner on every subsequent visit.
02 — Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make when you visit the publication, such as your preferred reading mode or the articles you have already read. These cookies improve your experience but are not strictly required for the site to operate.
You may opt out of functional cookies through the preference centre accessible via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer. Doing so will not prevent you from reading content on this publication, but some interface preferences may reset on each visit.
03 — Analytics Cookies
We use anonymised analytics to understand how visitors engage with the publication — which articles attract the most attention, which navigation paths are most common, and how readers arrive at the site. This information helps us improve editorial planning and site structure.
Analytics data is collected in aggregate form and is not linked to any identifiable individual. We do not share raw analytics data with third parties for their own purposes. Where a third-party analytics provider processes data on our behalf, that provider operates under a data processing agreement.
04 — Third-Party Embedded Content
Some pages on this publication include embedded content from third-party services — for example, maps provided by Google to display our London office location. When you view a page that contains such embedded content, the third-party provider may set their own cookies on your device in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
We have no control over the cookies set by third-party providers in this way. The embedded map on our contact page uses the Google Maps service. Google's cookie and privacy policies are available at google.com/policies/privacy.
Where possible, we configure embeds to minimise the data passed to third parties prior to your consent. The Google Maps iframe on the contact page is loaded with a loading="lazy" attribute and does not initiate until you scroll to that section of the page.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Through Our Preference Centre
You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page on this publication. Your updated preferences will be saved and applied immediately. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through this mechanism, as they are required for the publication to function correctly.
Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these under a heading such as "Privacy", "Security", or "Site Data". Browser-level controls allow you to:
- —View the cookies currently stored by a given website
- —Delete specific cookies or all cookies from a given domain
- —Block all cookies from a particular site
- —Block third-party cookies across all sites
Note that disabling all cookies at the browser level may affect the functionality of other websites you visit, not only this publication. If you wish to restrict cookies for this publication only, we recommend using our preference centre rather than browser-level blocking.
Opting Out of Analytics
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, Google provides a browser add-on for this purpose, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing data about your visit activity with Google Analytics.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies, by contrast, do not require consent as they are essential to the provision of the service you have requested.
When you visit this publication for the first time, you are presented with a consent banner that explains the categories of cookies we use. You may accept all categories, accept a partial selection, or accept only functional cookies required for the site to operate. Your choice is recorded and respected on subsequent visits.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by accessing the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
Updates to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in how we use cookies or in applicable legislation. When we make material changes, we will update the "last reviewed" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have questions about the cookies we use or about data handling practices more broadly, you are welcome to contact us using the details on our contact page or at [email protected].
