Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Jointherbalvital, an editorial platform dedicated to herbal and natural wellness information, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit jointherbalvital.info. This policy should be read alongside our Disclaimer and Privacy Policy. By continuing to browse our editorial content, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described below.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used by websites and editorial platforms to make sites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide analytical data to site operators.
Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information on their own. They typically store a unique identifier that allows a website to recognise your browser across visits. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored on your device for a set period of time).
In addition to standard cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — all of which function similarly and are covered under this policy.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and loading of content. Without these cookies, certain parts of the site cannot operate. These cookies do not track browsing activity used for marketing purposes.
Always Active — Cannot be disabled
Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our editorial content — which articles are read most, how long readers spend on a page, and where traffic originates. This helps our editorial team understand which topics resonate with our audience and improve the quality of published content.

Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make while browsing — such as your preferred language, text size, or content filter settings. These cookies enable a more personalised reading experience without storing any sensitive personal data. They are set only in response to actions you take on our platform.

Some of our editorial pages embed content or analytical tools from third-party providers (such as Google Analytics). These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you visit our site. We do not control these cookies.

How We Use Cookies
As an editorial platform, our use of cookies is limited to purposes that support content delivery and audience understanding. We do not use cookies for advertising profiling or the sale of personal data. Specifically, cookies allow us to:
- Deliver content reliably — ensuring articles, images, and editorial sections load correctly and consistently across all devices.
- Understand reader behaviour — identifying which articles, topics, and editorial categories attract the most engagement, informing our writers and editorial board.
- Remember your preferences — saving settings such as language and display mode so your reading experience is consistent across visits.
- Maintain platform security — using session identifiers to prevent unauthorised access and ensure stable browsing throughout your visit.
- Respect consent choices — recording your cookie preferences so we do not ask again unnecessarily during future visits.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Our use of cookies is governed by the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Spanish law) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal bases we rely upon are:
Legitimate Interest
For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on legitimate interest — these are required for the basic operation of the editorial platform and do not require your consent.
Consent
For analytics and functional cookies, we rely on your freely given, informed consent, obtained via our cookie banner at your first visit to jointherbalvital.info.
Managing & Controlling Cookies
You have full control over the cookies placed on your device. Below are your main options:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings menus. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to read content on this and other websites. Browser-specific guides:
Opting Out of Google Analytics
If you wish to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on instructs Google Analytics not to transmit visit information to Google.
Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our platform. Upon return, the cookie consent banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new selection. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing already carried out.
Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" signal feature. While we respect user privacy, there is currently no uniform standard for responding to DNT signals. We encourage you to use the browser and opt-out tools described above for the most effective control of your data.
Third-Party Cookies & External Links
Our editorial articles may contain links to external websites and resources for the purpose of providing further reading and reference. When you click on these links, you leave jointherbalvital.info and enter third-party environments that operate under their own cookie and privacy policies. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content or practices of third-party sites.
We recommend reading the cookie and privacy policies of any external website you visit via links from our editorial content. Third-party cookies set during such visits are entirely governed by those third parties.
