Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred settings or whether you have previously accepted the cookie notice — across multiple pages or on return visits.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot carry viruses or install software. Their function is to store small pieces of data that make websites work more effectively or provide information to the site operator about how the site is being used.
This policy explains specifically which cookies are used on the Ralev website, why each category exists, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time.
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take — such as setting your privacy preferences, logging enquiry form data, or navigating between pages. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

| ralev_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner does not re-appear on subsequent visits. | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier. Maintains session continuity during a single visit. No personal data is stored. | Session |
Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as your language preference or display settings — and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites.
