Cookie Policy

Effective date: August 25, 2025 Last updated: August 25, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Thorelli & Associates (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on thorelli.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with the use of cookies as described here, you may adjust your preferences via our cookie banner or your browser settings (see How to manage cookies below).

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Related technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, and SDKs; we refer to these collectively as “cookies.”

2) How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Operate the Site (e.g., load pages, keep the session secure).

  • Improve performance and security (e.g., detect errors, prevent abuse).

  • Understand usage (e.g., page views, time on page) so we can improve content and navigation.

  • Remember preferences you set (e.g., cookie choices).

As of the Effective Date, we do not use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising and we do not sell or share personal information via cookies. If this changes, we will update this Policy and present appropriate choices (e.g., “Do Not Sell or Share”).

3) Types of cookies we may use

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential)
    Required for the Site to function (e.g., page navigation, security, form submissions, cookie-consent storage). These cannot be switched off in our systems.

  • Performance & Analytics
    Help us measure and improve performance by collecting aggregated usage data (e.g., which pages are most/least popular). These run only with your consent where required.

  • Functional
    Remember choices (e.g., language, region) and provide enhanced features.

Examples (informational):

  • __cf_bm, __cfruid (traffic management / bot mitigation, if our host uses Cloudflare)

  • cookie_preferences (stores your consent choices)

  • ga_*, _ga (Google Analytics 4, if enabled)
    The exact cookies present may vary based on the services enabled and your preferences.

4) Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where required by law, we rely on consent for non-essential cookies and on legitimate interests or contractual necessity for essential cookies needed to deliver the Site. You can withdraw or modify consent at any time (see Your choices below).

5) Your choices

  • Cookie banner & preferences:
    Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences. You can revisit your settings at any time by using the “Cookie Preferences” link in our footer (or add one).

  • Browser settings:
    Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See How to manage cookies below for quick links.

  • Global Privacy Control (GPC):
    If we ever engage in activities that constitute “selling” or “sharing” under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, we will honor browser-based opt-out signals, such as GPC, where legally required.

  • Do Not Track (DNT):
    DNT is not consistently honored by industry participants. We currently do not respond to DNT signals.

6) Retention

Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (kept until they expire or you delete them). We keep analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes described and in accordance with our retention practices.

7) Third parties

We may use service providers (e.g., hosting, security, analytics) that set or process cookies on our behalf. They are contractually limited to using information to provide services to us and not for their own purposes. If we enable analytics (e.g., Google Analytics 4), we will configure it to respect applicable privacy settings and minimize data where possible.

8) International transfers

We are located in the United States. If cookies are processed by providers outside your country, your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data-protection laws. We implement appropriate safeguards where required.

9) Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where required, re-prompt for consent.
