1. 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 more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give website operators useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser window. Both types play important roles in providing a smooth and personalised website experience.
At Ylaxyronklix, we use cookies thoughtfully and minimally, only for purposes that directly benefit your experience on our website.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on our website for the following purposes:
- To remember your cookie consent preference so we do not ask you repeatedly
- To understand how visitors interact with our website, helping us improve content and functionality
- To ensure the website functions correctly across different browsers and devices
- To maintain the security of our website
We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes. Our use of cookies is limited to enhancing website functionality and understanding usage patterns to improve the overall experience for our visitors.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are set automatically when you visit our site.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are typically only set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as using our contact form or setting your cookie preferences.
3.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past. For example, these cookies can remember your cookie consent status so that you are not prompted each time you visit. These cookies help provide a more personalised experience as you navigate our website.
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us identify which pages are most popular, how visitors navigate through the site, and where improvements can be made.
The information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It does not identify individual visitors. We use this data solely to improve how our website works and to better serve the needs of our visitors.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website may include content or services from third parties, such as embedded maps. These third-party services may set their own cookies on your device. We do not have control over these cookies, and we encourage you to check the relevant third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
Third-party cookies used on our website may include those set by mapping services to display our studio location. These cookies are subject to the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers.
