COOKIE POLICY.

Last updated: October 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how alcyonic13.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences so you don’t have to re-enter them each time.

2. Types of cookies we use

We group them into a few categories:

  • Essential cookies – Required for the site to function (for example, remembering cookie consent or keeping forms secure).

  • Performance and analytics cookies – Help us understand visitor behaviour and improve our website. Tools like Squarespace Analytics or Google Analytics may set these.

  • Functionality cookies – Remember choices such as language or region.

  • Marketing or social cookies – Used only if we embed content (like YouTube videos or social-media pixels). These track engagement to personalise ads or measure reach.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties such as:

  • Squarespace / Shopify (platform analytics and security)

  • Google Analytics (anonymised usage data)

  • Meta / Facebook / Instagram (if social pixels are activated)
    We have no control over these external cookies once they are set, but we ensure they are only loaded with your consent.

4. How long cookies stay

Some cookies expire when you close your browser (session cookies). Others last longer until deleted or automatically removed after a set period (persistent cookies).

5. How to manage or disable cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Use our cookie banner to accept, reject, or customise categories.

  • Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies. Each browser’s help section explains how.
