Cookie Policy
Summary
- This website currently uses only browser localStorage, not traditional HTTP cookies.
- One localStorage item (aura_consent_v1) stores your consent preferences for 395 days.
- No third-party tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies are used.
- You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to store preferences, maintain sessions, and enable functionality. Browser localStorage is a similar technology that stores data directly in your web browser. Unlike traditional cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to the server with each request - it remains in your browser and is accessed only by the website that created it.
This website currently uses localStorage rather than traditional HTTP cookies. The functional difference for you is minimal: both store small amounts of data to remember your preferences.
2. What This Website Uses
This website currently uses only one localStorage item. We do not use any third-party cookies, analytics tracking, advertising cookies, or social media cookies.
3. Storage Items in Detail
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aura_consent_v1 | auralisassociates.com (first-party) | Stores your cookie/storage consent preferences (which categories you accepted or rejected) | Necessary | 395 days |
The aura_consent_v1 item is classified as "necessary" because it is required to remember your consent choices. Without it, the consent banner would appear on every page load. This item cannot be disabled while using the consent functionality.
4. Third-Party Cookies
This website does not load any third-party cookies. The contact form is processed by FormSubmit, which does not set cookies on this domain. If we introduce third-party services in the future that require cookies (such as analytics or embedded media), we will update this policy and seek your consent through the cookie consent banner before deploying them.
5. How to Manage Storage
You can manage or delete localStorage data through your browser settings. Here is how to access these settings in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > View permissions and data stored across sites
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies and site permissions
Clearing localStorage for this site will reset your consent preferences, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit. You can also adjust your preferences at any time using the "Cookie settings" button in the website footer.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new storage technologies or third-party services. The updated policy will be posted on this page. If we begin using cookies or tracking technologies beyond what is currently described, we will seek your consent before deploying them.
