Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy ("Policy") explains in detail what cookies and similar technologies are, how Craxylonshuz ("we," "us," or "our") uses them on our website at craxylonshuz.world (the "Site"), and how you can manage your preferences. This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process your personal data in connection with the Site and our wellness guides and products (the "Products"). By using the Site, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy, except where your consent is not required by law (e.g. for strictly necessary cookies).

Definitions

In this Policy, "cookies" means small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. "Similar technologies" means any technology that stores or accesses information on your device, including but not limited to local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage), pixel tags, web beacons, and fingerprinting techniques. "First-party" cookies or technologies are set by us (craxylonshuz.world). "Third-party" cookies or technologies are set by a domain other than ours, such as when we embed content from another provider. "Session" cookies or storage are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. "Persistent" cookies or storage remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files, typically consisting of letters and numbers, that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners information about how visitors use their sites. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you are visiting, i.e. us) or "third-party" (set by a different domain, such as analytics providers or embedded content providers). They may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period (e.g. days, months, or years) or until you manually delete them. Each cookie typically contains a unique identifier and may contain other information such as the domain that set it, its expiration date, and whether it is secure (transmitted only over HTTPS).

Other Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we or our service providers may use other technologies that store or access information on your device:

• Local storage and session storage: HTML5 local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) allow websites to store data in your browser. Unlike cookies, this data is not automatically sent to the server with each request. We may use local storage to remember that you have accepted our cookie notice, to store your preferences (e.g. language or region), or to maintain session state. Session storage is cleared when you close the browser tab; local storage may persist until you clear it.
• Pixel tags and web beacons: Small, often transparent, images or code snippets embedded in web pages or emails that can be used to track whether a page or email has been viewed, to count visitors, or to deliver cookies. We may use these for analytics or to measure the effectiveness of our communications.
• Scripts and APIs: We may use scripts (e.g. JavaScript) that run in your browser to support site functionality and, in some cases, to collect or process data in a way that may involve cookies or local storage.

These technologies may be used for the same or similar purposes as cookies and are subject to the same consent and control options where required by applicable law (e.g. under the GDPR or ePrivacy rules).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary: These cookies and similar technologies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas (if any), remembering that you have accepted our cookie notice so that we do not show it again on subsequent visits, and maintaining your session or menu state during your visit. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies. Under applicable law in many jurisdictions (including the GDPR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent because they are essential for the service you have requested. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site may then not work.
• Functionality: These cookies and similar technologies allow the Site to remember choices you make (e.g. language, region, or other preferences) and to provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages (e.g. embedded maps or fonts). They may remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. In many jurisdictions we are required to obtain your consent before placing functionality cookies; you can give or withdraw consent via our cookie banner or your browser settings.
• Performance and analytics: These cookies and similar technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information, often in an aggregated or anonymised form (e.g. number of visitors, pages visited, time spent, traffic sources). This helps us improve the Site and the relevance of our content about stress, hormones, and mindfulness. We may use first-party or third-party analytics services for this purpose. We do not use these cookies to identify you personally unless we have separately obtained your consent or we are required to do so by law. In many jurisdictions we are required to obtain your consent before placing analytics cookies; you can give or withdraw consent via our cookie banner or your browser settings.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for advertising or to track you across other websites for marketing purposes. Any third-party cookies (e.g. from embedded maps, fonts, or other external content) are set and controlled by the respective third party and are subject to that party's privacy and cookie policies; we encourage you to review those policies.

Specific Cookies and Technologies We Use

The following is a non-exhaustive list of the types of cookies and similar technologies we may use, together with their typical purpose and duration. Exact cookie names, purposes, duration, and whether they are first- or third-party may be updated from time to time as we change our practices or our service providers. You can inspect cookies and local storage stored on your device through your browser's developer tools or settings.

• Consent and preference storage: We may use a first-party cookie or local storage key to record that you have accepted our cookie notice and to store your privacy or cookie preferences. This helps us avoid showing the notice repeatedly and honour your choices. Duration: typically persistent (e.g. 12 months or until you clear it).
• Session and navigation: We may use session or short-lived persistent cookies or local storage to maintain your session, remember menu state (e.g. whether the mobile menu was open or closed), or other layout preferences during your visit. Duration: session or short-lived (e.g. until you close the browser or for a few hours).
• Analytics: We may use first-party or third-party cookies or similar technologies to count visits, identify traffic sources (e.g. search engines, referring sites), and analyse behaviour on the Site (e.g. pages viewed, time on page) so we can improve our content and user experience. Data may be aggregated or anonymised. Duration: typically from session up to 24 months depending on the provider and purpose.

If we introduce new cookies or similar technologies, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before using them for non-essential purposes.

Your Choices and Control

You can control and manage cookies and similar technologies in several ways:

• Our cookie banner: When you first visit the Site, we may show a notice (banner) about our use of cookies. By clicking "Accept," you consent to our use of non-essential cookies (e.g. functionality and analytics) as described in this Policy. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies and local storage for the Site and, if we offer the option, by changing your preferences in a dedicated settings page or by contacting us. After you clear cookies and local storage, the cookie banner may appear again on your next visit.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, to delete existing cookies, and to block or allow cookies from specific sites. You can usually find these options in the "Settings," "Options," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu of your browser (often under a "Privacy and security" or "Cookies" section). Blocking or deleting all cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and your experience; for example, you may need to accept the cookie notice again, or some features may not work. For guidance on managing cookies in common browsers, see the browser's help section or visit the manufacturer's website (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
• Device and browser-specific instructions: On mobile devices, you may be able to manage cookies through your device settings or through the browser app you use. Different browsers and devices have different options; we recommend consulting your device or browser documentation for the most up-to-date steps.
• Opt-out tools: For certain third-party analytics or advertising cookies (if we ever use them), the relevant third party may provide an opt-out mechanism (e.g. browser add-on or preference centre). We will inform you where applicable. We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies.

If you have questions about how to manage cookies on your device, please refer to your browser's help function or the manufacturer's documentation. We are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of third-party instructions.

Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or similar setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that they do not track the user. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Site does not currently alter its behaviour based on DNT signals; however, we respect your choices made through our cookie banner and your browser settings as described above. If you have disabled non-essential cookies or limited tracking in your browser, we will not use non-essential cookies for you to the extent we can detect or honour that setting.

Third-Party Cookies

When we embed content from third parties (e.g. maps, fonts, or videos), those third parties may set their own cookies or use similar technologies when you load a page that contains their content or when you interact with that content. We do not control these third-party cookies or technologies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies when you interact with embedded content or when you leave our Site. We select third-party providers with care, but we are not responsible for their practices. If you block third-party cookies in your browser, some embedded content may not function correctly.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, the law, or the requirements of our service providers. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective or "last updated" date. Where changes are material (e.g. we introduce new types of cookies or use cookies for new purposes), we may notify you by a prominent notice on the Site or by email (if we have your email address) and, where required by law, we will obtain your consent before applying the new use. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of the updated Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy where permitted by law. If you do not agree to the updated Policy, you should discontinue use of the Site and clear any cookies and local storage we have set.
