What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember user preferences, and to provide analytical information to site operators. Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses.
In addition to traditional cookies, we may use similar technologies including web beacons (also called tracking pixels), local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all of these technologies collectively.
When you visit aurevex.org, your browser exchanges information with our servers. Cookies facilitate certain aspects of this exchange, allowing the site to remember state information between page loads and visits.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes: to make the website function (essential), to understand how visitors use the site (analytics), and to remember your preferences (preference). We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral profiling across other websites, or for purposes unrelated to operating aurevex.org.
Essential cookies are deployed automatically because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and preference cookies are only placed with your consent, which you grant or withhold through the cookie preference interface accessible on every page of this site.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| aur_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
| aur_session | Maintains your session state while browsing the site | Session |
| aur_csrf | Security token to prevent cross-site request forgery | Session |
These cookies cannot be disabled. Blocking essential cookies through your browser settings will impair or prevent the site from functioning correctly.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with aurevex.org. They collect information about which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, and how visitors arrive at the site. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
We use this information to improve the structure, content, and performance of the site. Analytics data is processed to identify technical issues and usability improvements.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| aur_analytics | Tracks anonymized page view and session data | 26 months |
| aur_perf | Captures page load timing for performance monitoring | Session |
Analytics cookies are only set with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preference link.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make during your visit, such as display settings or previously entered information in forms. They make your experience more convenient by avoiding the need to re-enter or re-select settings on subsequent visits.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| aur_prefs | Stores display preferences and UI settings | 6 months |
Preference cookies are optional and require your consent. Declining preference cookies means the site will not remember your settings between visits.
Third-Party Technologies
aurevex.org does not load third-party advertising scripts or social media tracking pixels. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks or data brokers.
The site loads fonts from Google Fonts servers. This request includes your IP address and browser information as part of the standard HTTP request process. Google's privacy policy governs Google's handling of this data. We use Google Fonts because they are essential to the site's visual design.
The contact page embeds a Google Maps iframe to display our office location. Loading the map sends your IP address and browser information to Google. This happens only when you visit the contact page. You can view our address as text without loading the map if you prefer to avoid this data sharing.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire according to the duration specified in the table above, or until you delete them through your browser settings.
Your consent preferences (stored in the aur_consent cookie) are retained for 12 months. After that period, you will be prompted to review your preferences again.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences on aurevex.org at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link located in the bottom-left corner of every page. This opens a preference panel where you can accept or decline optional cookie categories.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view and delete existing cookies, block cookies from specific sites, or block all cookies. Note that blocking all cookies will affect essential site functionality. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser:
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Opt-out signals including browser-level Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals are recognized and honored by aurevex.org where technically feasible.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Aurevex does not sell personal information collected through cookies to third parties. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks for the purpose of targeted advertising. This section is included for compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA, which defines "sharing" broadly to include certain cross-context behavioral advertising.
Because we do not engage in the sale or sharing of personal information as defined under CCPA/CPRA, no opt-out mechanism for data sale is required. If our practices change, this policy will be updated and you will be notified.
Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use, when legal requirements change, or when we add new site functionality. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the most recent change was made. If changes are material, we will provide notice through the site or by email.
