Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

  1. Introduction
    This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on https://www.aethereusatelier.com (the “Site”), what types we use, why, and how you can control them. By using the Site you consent to the use of cookies as described here.

  2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
    Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website to store information. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and fingerprinting techniques that collect or retain information about your interaction with the Site.

  3. Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly necessary (essential): Required for the Site to operate — e.g., session management, shopping cart, checkout, security. These cannot be disabled via the Site settings.
  • Functional (preference): Remember choices such as language, currency, and saved items to improve usability.
  • Performance & analytics: Collect aggregated, anonymized data about site usage (pageviews, load time, navigation) to help us improve the Site.
  • Marketing & advertising: Used to deliver relevant ads, measure campaign performance, and limit ad frequency. May be set by us or third‑party partners.
  1. Who sets cookies on this Site
  • First‑party cookies: Set and controlled by our Site for core functionality and preferences.
  • Third‑party cookies: Set by external services (analytics providers, payment processors, social media, advertising networks). We do not control third parties’ cookie practices; consult their privacy policies for details.
  1. Examples of services and purposes
  • Shopify and Shopify Payments — checkout, fraud prevention, and order processing (essential/functional).
  • Google Analytics — site analytics and performance (performance/analytics).
  • Facebook/Meta Pixel, Google Ads — advertising measurement and retargeting (marketing).
  • Payment gateways (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) — transaction processing (essential/functional).
    Note: Replace or remove examples based on your actual integrations.
  1. Cookie duration and identifiers
    Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remain for a set period, e.g., 30 days, 1 year). Cookies store identifiers and consent preferences; persistent cookie lifetimes depend on the service provider.

  2. How we use cookie data
    We use cookie-collected data to:

  • Provide and secure the Site and checkout process.
  • Remember your preferences and shopping cart.
  • Analyze and improve Site performance and content.
  • Personalize content and marketing, and measure ad effectiveness.
    We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data (e.g., race, health information) except as required for payment or compliance.
  1. Your choices and controls
  • Site cookie banner/preferences: Use the cookie banner or preferences dialog to accept, reject, or manage categories. Settings apply per device and browser.
  • Browser controls: Block or delete cookies in your browser settings (may break functionality).
  • Opt-out tools: Use industry opt-out resources like Google Ads Settings, Facebook Ad Preferences, or network opt-out services (e.g., the DAA or NAI opt-out pages) where available.
  • Device settings: Use mobile or OS privacy settings to limit tracking.
  1. Consequences of disabling cookies
    If you disable essential cookies, critical features (checkout, login, cart) may not work. Disabling analytics cookies reduces our ability to understand site performance; disabling marketing cookies will limit personalized advertising.

  2. Third‑party links and embeds
    The Site may include third‑party content or links. We are not responsible for third parties’ cookie practices; review their policies for details.

  3. Children
    The Site is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly place cookies to collect personal data from children; if we learn we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it.

  4. International transfers
    Cookie-related data may be processed by service providers located outside your country; such transfers are governed by applicable privacy laws and the providers’ safeguards.

  5. Changes to this policy
    We may update this Cookie Policy as technologies or practices change. The “Last updated” date will reflect the most recent revision.
