This page explains how Santoray (referred to as "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, www.santoray.co (the "Website"), and how you can manage your preferences.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are¹ widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide² information to the website owners.

‍

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

‍

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable³ basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas⁴ of the Website. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you⁵ have been on the internet.⁶ These cookies are always active.
• Performance Cookies (Analytics): These cookies collect information about how you use our Website, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive⁷ any error messages. This information helps us to improve the performance and usability of our Website. The information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such⁸ as your language preference) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.⁹ They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect¹⁰ may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.¹¹
• Marketing/Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.¹² These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.¹³

Important Considerations:

• Essential Cookies: You should generally not allow users to disable essential cookies, as this will break core website functionality. Clearly state that these are always active.
• Save Preferences Button: Include a "Save Preferences" or "Confirm Choices" button that users must click to apply their selected settings.
• Cookie Banner/Popup: You will also need a cookie banner or popup that appears when a user first visits your website, informing them about your use of cookies and providing a link to this Cookie Settings page.
• Browser Settings: You should also inform users that they can manage cookies through their browser settings as well. Provide links to instructions for popular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

‍

Example of Text to Include about Browser Settings:

"You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete existing cookies. You can find more information about how to manage cookies for your specific browser at the following links:

• [Link to Chrome cookie settings]
