This Cookie Policy explains how AshAnders.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit this website. It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies that may be used, why they may be used, and the choices available to you.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected, used, and protected.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, mobile device, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, browsing activity, or whether you have previously visited the website.
Cookies can help websites operate correctly, improve the browsing experience, understand how visitors use particular pages, and provide relevant advertising.
Some cookies are placed directly by AshAnders.com. These are known as first-party cookies. Other cookies may be placed by external service providers, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, embedded-content providers, or social media platforms. These are known as third-party cookies.
Similar Technologies
AshAnders.com may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies. These may include pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, scripts, and other technologies that help websites understand how visitors interact with online content.
For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to cookies and similar technologies collectively as “cookies.”
Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
Cookies may be stored for different lengths of time.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary. They generally remain on your device only while your browser is open and are removed after you close the browser. These cookies may help the website operate correctly during a browsing session.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. These cookies may remember your preferences, help measure website traffic, or support analytics and advertising functions.
Types of Cookies That May Be Used
AshAnders.com may use the following categories of cookies. The specific cookies used may change over time as website features, plugins, and third-party services are updated.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies support essential website functions. These cookies may be required for website security, page navigation, form processing, cookie-consent preferences, or other basic features.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate correctly, they cannot always be disabled through the website’s cookie controls. You may still be able to block them through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not function properly as a result.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies help the website remember choices you make and provide a more convenient browsing experience. For example, these cookies may remember preferences, form details, or display settings.
If you disable functional cookies, some features may not work as expected.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics and performance cookies help AshAnders.com understand how visitors use the website. These cookies may collect information such as the pages visited, the length of a visit, the type of device or browser used, and how a visitor arrived at the website.
This information helps identify popular content, improve website performance, and make the website easier to use.
Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies may be used to display advertisements, measure advertising performance, limit the number of times an advertisement is shown, and provide advertisements that may be more relevant to your interests.
These cookies may be placed by third-party advertising networks or service providers. Depending on the provider, information collected through advertising cookies may be combined with information from other websites or online services.
Social Media and Embedded-Content Cookies
Some pages may include embedded content or links from third-party websites, such as videos, images, social media posts, sharing buttons, or other external resources.
Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. The external provider may place cookies, collect data about your interaction with the content, or track your activity in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies.
Google Analytics
AshAnders.com may use Google Analytics or a similar analytics service to understand how visitors interact with the website. Google Analytics may use cookies to distinguish visitors and browsing sessions, measure website traffic, and provide aggregated information about website use.
The information collected may include details such as the pages you visit, the time spent on the website, the type of device or browser you use, and the website or search engine that referred you to AshAnders.com.
You can learn more about Google Analytics and its use of cookies by visiting the Google Analytics cookie information page. You may also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
