Cookie Policy | Almanac Ash

SECTION 1

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — like your preferences or that you've already seen a consent notice — so you don't have to re-enter details every time.

Cookies don't give websites access to your device, and they can't read files stored elsewhere on your system. They simply store a small piece of data that the website placed there.

Websites use cookies to make browsing smoother, understand which pages are useful, and occasionally to serve relevant advertising. On this site, we use a minimal set of cookies to keep things functioning properly and to understand how people engage with our content.
