Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), operating Digestscenescot.beauty ("Platform"), utilizes cookies, web beacons, browser local storage, and related tracking technologies when you interact with our website.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It provides precise information on what cookies are, how they function on our pages, the categories of cookies we employ, and how you can exercise full control over your cookie preferences.
1. What Are Cookies & Web Tracking Technologies?
A. Cookies
Cookies are small, encrypted text files containing string identifiers that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by your web browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device upon return, preserve your user preferences, record banner consent states, and collect aggregated performance metrics.
B. Session vs. Persistent Cookies
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that remain active only during your active browsing session and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your web browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain stored on your device for a predetermined expiration period (ranging from days to 12 months) unless manually deleted sooner through browser settings.
C. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
- First-Party Cookies: Placed directly by Digestscenescot.beauty to facilitate site navigation and store system configuration states.
