This Cookies Policy explains how Azure Lens Studios ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, azurelensstudios.com (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
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, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Why We Use Cookies
Azure Lens Studios uses cookies for several reasons, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies help us to improve the way our Website works. For example, we use Google Analytics to track website traffic and user behavior. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve the Website. Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. For example, we might use a cookie to remember your preferred language so you don't have to select it every time you visit our Website.
- Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. Currently, Azure Lens Studios does not use targeting or advertising cookies, but we may in the future. We will update this policy if we begin using these types of cookies.
