COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: February 2026 | Last Updated: February 2026

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how their site is being used. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain on your device for a set period).

3. WHAT WE DO NOT USE

ASTRIQ does not use:

✓
No cross-site tracking - Analytics cookies only track activity within ASTRIQ and are not shared with ad networks
✓
No advertising cookies - We do not serve ads or share data with ad networks
✓
No third-party marketing cookies - We do not allow third parties to place marketing cookies on our site

4. ANALYTICS

ASTRIQ uses Google Analytics (via Firebase) to understand how users interact with our platform. Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are only set if you explicitly consent to analytics cookies. You can change your preference at any time using the "Manage" link in the footer.

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which means no analytics data is collected and no analytics cookies are placed until you provide consent. This data is used solely to improve the ASTRIQ experience and is not shared with third parties for advertising purposes.

5. YOUR CHOICES

When you first visit ASTRIQ, a cookie banner gives you the choice to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clicking the "Manage" link in the page footer.

If you revoke analytics consent, existing analytics cookies will be deleted and no further analytics data will be collected until you opt in again.

6. MANAGING COOKIES

You can manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies (like the session cookie) will prevent you from logging into ASTRIQ.
