ASTELLAN Fragrances Ltd ("AL") uses cookies and other tracers on our website (the "Website") in accordance with the following policy (the "Cookie Policy"). We use these cookies and other tracers to provide functionality, to track how visitors interact with our Website, and for our marketing and advertising activities.
Please read this Cookie Policy in conjunction with our Website Privacy Notice for the European Economic Area and the UK.
1. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of text placed on your website browser when you visit a website. These include our own first-party cookies and third-party cookies from our service providers and marketing partners. They are used to "remember" when your computer or device has visited our website. The cookie is stored on your browser. The cookie will help the website or other sites recognize your device the next time you visit. Most cookies do not collect information that directly identifies you personally, but rather collect more general information, such as how visitors arrived at and used our website. Other cookies do collect personal data. Cookies can be used to create a profile of a visitor's activities on the internet, which can be used, for example, to try to predict a visitor's purchasing and behavioral preferences.
Clear GIFs (also known as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on your device's hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs in connection with our Website to, for example, track the activities of website visitors, help us manage content and compile statistics about website usage.
In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.
2. Types of Cookies
Session Cookies
Session cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the visitor's device when the browser is closed.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies are saved on your device for a pre-determined fixed period of time (usually several months) and are not deleted when the browser is closed. We use persistent cookies when we need to recognize your device across multiple browsing sessions. The maximum lifetime of persistent cookies used on our website is typically between one hour and two years; please use our cookie settings tool available here for more details.
First-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting and can only be read by that website.
Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are not set by the owner of the website you are visiting, but are set by other organizations. For example, when you click on an ad or link on our website, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies, or we may employ a third-party analytics company to set their own cookies to perform this service.
3. Categories of Cookies
We categorize the different types of cookies mentioned above as follows:
Required Necessary Cookies:
These cookies are necessary for our website to operate, for example to provide a secure login or to remember your request (for example, your choice of language or region, or to set a cookie to store your preferences for cookies on our website). These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be turned off (although you can change your request in some cases). You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but if you block these types of cookies, some features of our website may not function properly.
Functionality Cookies:
Functionality Cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. These Cookies enable the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. Functionality Cookies may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these Cookies collect is usually anonymous and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. Without these Cookies, some features of the website may not work and the overall performance of our website may be affected.
Performance Cookies:
These cookies allow us to analyse the use of our website and understand how visitors use it. These cookies recognise and collect information such as the number of visitors to our website, the pages they viewed, how long they spent on them and how they moved around our website while using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by ensuring that visitors can easily find what they are looking for. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, we will not be able to improve our website based on information about your visit.
Advertising Cookies:
These cookies are used to tailor advertising and content on and off our website to your interests ("targeting"). These cookies collect data about your online activities, including your visits to our website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have clicked. They identify your interests so that we can provide advertising that we think is relevant to you. We will use this information to make our website and the targeting displayed on it and the marketing messages we send you more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties who provide services to us for this purpose. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an ad, help measure the effectiveness of targeting, and monitor which targeting sources are directing visitors to our website so that we know if it is worth investing in that particular targeting source.
These cookies may be set through our website or by our third-party targeting partners. These partners may use them to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, you will receive less targeted advertising on our website (but not less advertising overall).
4. Social Media Links
These links are not plugins but link to AL external social media pages through standard functionality. These links do not set any cookies while browsing the website. By clicking on any link, you will be directed to the relevant social media page. Each of these social media companies operates their website independently from AL, including their own cookie policy, privacy policy and settings. Please visit the privacy information page of each social media company for more details.
5. Lifespan
The lifespan of each cookie used on our website varies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies implemented on our website are retained for no longer than two years. Please use our cookie settings tool available here.
