Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that help our website work, remember your preferences and understand how visitors move through the studio. This policy explains which cookies we use and how you can control them.

This Cookie Policy describes how Astrelvora Signs uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle your personal information. By continuing to use the site after being shown our cookie notice, and where required by giving your consent, you agree to the use of cookies as set out here.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small file placed on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site recognise your device on later visits or as you move between pages. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in comparable ways. Throughout this policy we use the word "cookies" to cover all of them. Cookies can be set by us (first-party) or by a provider we work with (third-party), and they can last only for your current visit (session cookies) or remain for a set period (persistent cookies).

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to keep the website functioning, to remember choices you make, to keep the site secure, to measure how it is used so we can improve it, and, where you allow it, to understand the effectiveness of our content. We aim to keep our use of cookies modest and purposeful, in keeping with the calm experience we want the studio to offer.

3. The categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the website to operate. They enable core features such as navigating pages, keeping your session secure, remembering the items in your order and processing checkout. Because the site cannot function properly without them, they do not require consent and cannot be switched off through our controls.

Preference cookies

These remember choices you make, such as details you have already entered in a form or display settings, so your experience is smoother on return. If they are disabled, the site still works, but some conveniences may be lost.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors find and use the site, which pages are most read and where people encounter difficulty. The insight is used in aggregate to improve the studio. Where the law requires, we set these cookies only after you consent.

Functional and third-party cookies

Some features, such as our video consultation platform or embedded content, may set their own cookies when you use them. These are governed by the providers' own policies as well as this one.

4. Managing your cookie choices

Where we are required to obtain consent, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the notice shown on the site, and you can change your choice later. You can also manage cookies directly in your browser: most browsers let you view the cookies stored, delete them, and block some or all future cookies. Helpful controls are usually found in the privacy or settings area of your browser. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site, including checkout, from working correctly.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how these signals should be interpreted, our site does not currently respond to them differently. We will update this section if that changes.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the technologies we use evolve or as legal requirements change. The current version is always the one published here, marked with the date above. We encourage you to check back from time to time so you stay informed about how we use cookies.
