Drenova 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 what cookies are, which cookies drenova.info uses, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve a range of functions — from keeping pages working correctly to helping us understand how visitors engage with editorial content. We use them sparingly and with transparency.
A cookie is a small data file stored in your browser. When you return to a site, the browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the site to recognise your device, recall your preferences, or measure how you interact with the content.
Cookies are not executable programmes. They cannot carry viruses or install software. They contain only the data that is placed into them — either by the website you visit (first-party cookies) or by a third-party service embedded within the site (third-party cookies).
Temporary cookies deleted when you close your browser. Used to maintain continuity as you navigate between pages during a single visit.
Cookies retained for a set period after your visit. Used to remember preferences such as your cookie consent choice.
Set directly by drenova.info. These are used for functional purposes and to store your consent record.
Set by external services integrated into the site, such as an analytics platform. These are only activated upon your consent.
Drenova operates a minimal cookie footprint. All cookies are categorised below according to their purpose and the legal basis under which they are set.
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled, as without them certain parts of drenova.info would not work correctly. No personal information is stored in these cookies and no consent is required to set them.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| drenova_consent | Records your cookie consent choices so the banner is not shown on every visit. | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Standard server session identifier. Maintains session continuity across pages within a single visit. | Session |
Functional cookies improve the usability of the site by remembering choices you make. They do not track your activity across other websites. These are enabled when you select "Accept Selected" or "Functional Only" from the cookie banner.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| drenova_ui_prefs | Stores lightweight interface preferences, such as previously expanded FAQ entries. | 6 months |
| drenova_nav_state | Remembers whether the mobile navigation was in an open or closed state between pages. | Session |
Analytics cookies help us understand how the editorial content on drenova.info is being used — which pages are most read, how long visitors engage with a given entry, and from which regions readers arrive. All data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. These cookies are only set when you select "Accept All" from the consent banner.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Third-party analytics | Distinguishes unique site visitors using an anonymised identifier. | 24 months |
| _ga_* | Third-party analytics | Maintains session state for the analytics platform. No personal data is stored. | 24 months |
| _gid | Third-party analytics | Distinguishes users within a 24-hour reporting window. Clears automatically after each day. | 24 hours |
Certain pages on drenova.info embed third-party content — specifically a Google Maps iframe on the contact page, which renders a map of our correspondence address. This embed may cause Google's servers to set cookies in your browser independently of the Drenova site. We recommend consulting Google's own privacy documentation for a full account of what data that embed may collect.
In addition, drenova.info loads several JavaScript libraries and web fonts from content delivery networks (CDNs) including Google Fonts, jsDelivr, and Cloudflare. These requests may expose your IP address to those servers as a standard part of the HTTP request process. No cookies are set by these CDN resources directly within the Drenova consent framework.
The Google Maps embed on our contact page loads only after the page is visited. The embed uses the loading="lazy" and referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" attributes to limit the data shared. We do not have access to any data collected by Google through this embed.
There are several ways to manage or withdraw cookie consent on drenova.info:
Use the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page to re-open the consent banner and adjust your choices at any time. Your updated preference is saved immediately.
All major browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings panels. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent certain page features from functioning as intended.
For analytics cookies specifically, browser extensions such as privacy-focused blockers can prevent the analytics scripts from running entirely, independent of the consent banner.
Private or incognito browsing mode typically prevents persistent cookies from being written to disk. Session cookies will still function normally during the browsing session but will not persist.
To withdraw consent, open Cookie Settings in the footer and select "Functional Only". The analytics consent record will be updated and no further analytics data will be collected during subsequent visits.
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held in connection with cookies. Since most cookies on drenova.info are either strictly necessary or anonymised, the personal data involved is minimal. However, any enquiry relating to cookie data can be submitted to:
Drenova Editorial

If you believe your data rights relating to cookies have not been upheld, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) via ico.org.uk. The ICO is the UK's independent regulator for data protection and information rights.
Drenova may update this cookie policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or the introduction of new embedded services. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
Where a material change is made to the types of cookies used or the consent basis, the cookie consent banner will be re-displayed to all visitors to allow them to review and confirm their preferences under the revised policy.
