1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains how Ryxanordeayth ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at ryxanordeayth.world (the "Website"). This policy provides detailed information about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide useful information to the site owners.

Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the name of the website from which the cookie has come, the lifetime of the cookie (how long it will remain on your device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.

Cookies can be classified based on their lifespan and the domain to which they belong:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They allow websites to link your actions during a browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie or until you manually delete them. They enable websites to remember your preferences and actions across multiple browsing sessions.
• First-Party Cookies: These are set by the website you are visiting and can only be read by that site.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by third-party services integrated into the website, such as analytics or advertising services.

3. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to collect and store information, including:

• Web Beacons (Pixel Tags): Small graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that work in conjunction with cookies to track user activity and measure website performance.
• Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store data locally in your browser, providing more storage capacity than traditional cookies.
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but data is cleared when the browser tab is closed.
• Flash Cookies (Local Shared Objects): Data files stored by Adobe Flash Player that can be used to remember preferences and settings.

For simplicity, we refer to all these technologies collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
