Cookie Policy

DraftEffective date will be set at launch

aistetika.online uses only cookies that keep you signed in and remember your language. We count visits and clicks ourselves, without cookies. There are no third-party analytics, advertising pixels or tracking cookies.

1. What cookies are

1.1. A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser so it can recognise the browser later. Local storage in your browser works in a similar way.

2. Cookies we set

aist_sid: Keeps you signed in: a random session token. Set after sign-in, lasts until you sign out, at most 30 days. Not readable by page scripts (HttpOnly), sent only over HTTPS.
aist_lang: Remembers the language you chose. Lasts 1 year.
aist_hop: Moves your sign-in between our domains when you change language. Lasts 5 minutes, then is deleted.

3. Stored in your browser without cookies

vm-theme: Your colour theme: light, dark or system. Stays in your browser and is not sent to us.
Studio tips: A note that you hid a tip. Stays in your browser.

4. Consent and control

4.1. These cookies are strictly necessary to provide the Service you asked for, so the law does not require consent for them (Art. 5(3) ePrivacy Directive, regulation 6 UK PECR). That is why there is no cookie banner.

4.2. We count visits and clicks (buttons, windows, forms, scrolling, time on page) ourselves on our own server, without cookies or third-party counters: we keep daily totals and a truncated hash of the day’s visitor, salted with a random value that changes daily and is erased after 2 days. We respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals: such visits are not counted.

4.3. You can delete cookies in your browser settings; you will then need to sign in again.

4.4. If we ever add analytics or advertising, we will update this Policy and ask for your consent before turning them on.

4.5. Personal data from cookies is handled under the Privacy Policy.
