Cookie Policy
At Altheriva, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, understand how you use our website, and improve our services. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use. We are committed to transparency and compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They contain information about your browsing activity and preferences. Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites function more effectively and to provide useful information to website owners.
Each cookie is unique to your web browser and contains an identifier—a string of numbers and letters. When you revisit a website that has set a cookie, that website can recognize your browser and retrieve the stored information. This allows websites to remember your preferences, login information, and other details to provide a personalized experience.
Types of Cookies
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that exist only during your browsing session. They are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. These cookies help websites maintain your session state, such as keeping you logged in or remembering items in your shopping cart during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences and login information for future visits. These cookies have an expiration date set by the website, and they are automatically deleted once that date is reached.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting. They are created and controlled by Altheriva and are used to enhance your experience on our site, such as remembering your language preference or login status.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are visiting. These are typically used for analytics, advertising, and social media integration. For example, advertising networks may set cookies to track your browsing behavior across multiple websites.
