Cookie Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Think of cookies like tiny digital assistants that help websites recall important details about you, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit. They're a fundamental part of how the internet works, enabling personalized and seamless browsing experiences.

At Aurora Visuals Studio, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we use cookies. This policy explains the types of cookies we use, how we use them, and your rights regarding their use.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several types of cookies on our website to enhance your experience. These can be broadly categorized as follows:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located.
  • Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

Specifically, we utilize the following cookies:

  1. Google Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how users interact with our website, allowing us to improve its performance and user experience. They collect anonymous information about website usage.
  2. Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session state while you are navigating the website.
  3. Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.
