What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you revisit the site or browse from one page to another.

There are two main types of cookies:

  • First-party cookies: These are set by the website that you are visiting. They are typically used to remember your preferences and settings for that specific site.
  • Third-party cookies: These are set by domains other than the one being visited by the user. They are often used for advertising and tracking purposes across multiple websites.

Cookies can also be categorized by their lifespan:

  • Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are erased from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain state during your browsing session.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a period specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you visit the website that created them.

Why We Use Cookies

At Aetherial AI Artistry, we use cookies to achieve several important objectives, all aimed at providing you with a seamless, personalized, and informative experience. Our use of cookies is designed to be both functional and to help us understand how we can improve our services and website.

We leverage cookies for the following primary purposes:

  • Site Functionality and Essential Operations: Certain cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function correctly. These enable you to navigate the site, access secure areas, and utilize core features. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like remembering your login details or ensuring smooth page transitions, cannot be provided.
  • Performance and Analytics: We utilize cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website. This includes data such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit, the time spent on our site, and the websites they came from. These insights, gathered anonymously and in aggregate, help us understand which parts of our site are most popular and how we can improve them. They are vital for our continuous development and enhancement of content and user experience.
  • Personalization and User Experience: Cookies help us remember your preferences, such as your preferred language or display settings, so you don't have to keep setting them up every time you visit. This ensures a more personalized and convenient browsing experience. For instance, if you have chosen to accept our cookie policy, a cookie will remember this choice to avoid repeatedly asking you.
  • Improving Content and Services: By analyzing user interactions through cookies, we can identify areas where our content might be unclear or where users might be encountering difficulties. This allows us to refine our articles, tutorials, and overall website structure to better meet your needs as you explore the world of AI artistry.

Types of Cookies We Use

We employ a variety of cookies to ensure our website operates effectively and to gather insights that help us improve. These are categorized as follows:

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

We respect your right to privacy and your control over your personal data. You have the ability to manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

Browser Settings: Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser's settings to prevent this. If you wish to control cookies, you can:

  • View your cookies: See which cookies are stored on your device.
  • Delete cookies: Remove existing cookies from your device.
  • Block cookies: Prevent new cookies from being placed on your device.
  • Receive notifications: Be alerted before a cookie is stored.

The exact process for managing cookies varies depending on the browser you use. You can typically find instructions in your browser's "Help" menu. For example:

Important Note: Please be aware that if you choose to block all cookies through your browser settings, our website may not function as expected, and some features or services may be unavailable. Disabling cookies may also affect the functionality of many other websites that you visit. Therefore, we recommend that you do not turn off essential cookies and consider enabling them for our site to ensure the best possible experience.

You may also encounter cookie preference management tools provided by third-party services we use. These tools, often presented via a banner or a dedicated settings page, allow you to opt-in or opt-out of specific cookie categories.

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we may use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details these instances:

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how our site is used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

Other Embedded Content: Occasionally, we may embed content from other platforms, such as YouTube for video tutorials or social media feeds. These platforms may use their own cookies. We do not control the setting of these third-party cookies, and we advise you to consult the respective privacy and cookie policies of these services for more information.

We are committed to ensuring that any third-party services we utilize align with our privacy standards and that their use of cookies is transparent to you.
