Our use of cookies and similar technologies is designed to support the operation and security of these digital services.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website may place or access on a user's device, such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Cookies can help a website recognise a device or remember information between page visits.

Depending on their purpose, cookies may help with functions such as:

• maintaining website security;
• remembering settings;
• maintaining authentication;
• understanding website performance;
• detecting technical errors;
• recording privacy choices; and
• improving website functionality.

Cookies do not automatically provide Cosmicoracle with information such as your complete payment card details, CVV or account password.

3. Similar Storage and Access Technologies

This Policy also applies, where relevant, to technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.

These may include:

• browser storage;
• local storage;
• session storage;
• pixels;
• tags;
• scripts;
• software development technologies;
• device identifiers; and
• comparable storage or access technologies.

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) apply to the storage of information on, or access to information from, a user's device in circumstances covered by those regulations.

Where these technologies involve processing personal information, applicable requirements under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 may also apply.

4. Why Cosmicoracle May Use Cookies

Cosmicoracle may use cookies or similar technologies for legitimate website-related purposes.

These purposes may include:

• making website pages function properly;
• keeping website connections secure;
• remembering appropriate user preferences;
• maintaining account functionality where available;
• recording cookie choices;
• detecting suspicious website activity;
• identifying technical problems;
• measuring website performance;
• understanding general website usage;
• improving navigation; and
• supporting the delivery of requested website functionality.

We aim to limit our use of these technologies to purposes that are reasonably relevant to operating, protecting, and improving Cosmicoracle.

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Certain cookies or similar technologies may be essential for the technical operation of Cosmicoracle or for providing functionality specifically requested by a user.

These may support functions such as:

• website security;
• authentication;
• fraud prevention;
• network management;
• maintaining website stability;
• remembering privacy choices;
• processing forms securely; and
• maintaining necessary user interactions.

Where a technology falls within an applicable legal exception, consent may not be required.

However, Cosmicoracle will still aim to provide transparent information about the technologies used.

Disabling essential technologies through browser settings may prevent certain website functions from operating correctly.

6. Preference and Functionality Technologies

Where available, preference-related technologies may help Cosmicoracle remember choices made by users.

For example, they may help remember:

• interface preferences;
• language-related settings;
• previously selected website options;
• accessibility-related choices; or
• privacy settings.

Under current UK rules, certain technologies used solely to adapt a service's appearance or functionality to a user's preferences may qualify for an applicable legal exception if all relevant requirements are satisfied.

Where such an exception applies, users will be provided with appropriate information and, where required, a simple way to object.

Where an exception does not apply, the technology will be handled according to the applicable consent requirements.

7. Analytics and Statistical Technologies

Cosmicoracle may use analytics or statistical technologies to understand how the website is being used.

Information may help us understand:

• which website pages are visited;
• general navigation patterns;
• website loading performance;
• technical errors;
• page response times;
• general traffic levels;
• how visitors interact with different sections; and
• areas where website usability may be improved.

Where statistical technologies qualify for an applicable exception under PECR, their use will be limited to the purposes and conditions required by law.

For example, information relied upon under a statistical-purpose exception should be used to understand and improve the service rather than to build advertising profiles of individual visitors.

Where the conditions for an exception are not met, appropriate consent will be obtained before non-essential analytics technologies are activated.

8. Security and Fraud-Prevention Technologies

Cookies or similar technologies may be used where reasonably necessary to protect Cosmicoracle and its users.

They may assist with:

• identifying unusual website activity;
• protecting login functionality;
• preventing automated abuse;
• detecting attempted unauthorised access;
• maintaining website integrity;
• protecting forms;
• reducing fraudulent activity; and
• supporting cybersecurity measures.

Security technologies may collect limited technical information such as device data, IP information, browser characteristics, timestamps, or security identifiers.

Such information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.

9. Account and Authentication Cookies

If account functionality is available, Cosmicoracle may use cookies necessary to recognise authenticated users and maintain secure access.

These may help us:

• recognise that a user has successfully signed in;
• keep an authenticated connection active;
• protect account pages;
• prevent unauthorised access;
• remember security-related choices; and
• identify potentially suspicious login behaviour.

Authentication cookies are generally used to provide functionality specifically requested by the user and may therefore fall within an applicable legal exception.

Users should also protect their account credentials and should not allow unauthorised individuals to access their devices or Cosmicoracle accounts.

10. Payment and Transaction Security

Cosmicoracle may use or rely upon necessary website technologies during the payment process to maintain security, prevent fraud, and enable communication with authorised payment providers.

Payments may be processed by independent payment gateways, banks, card networks, or other authorised financial service providers.

Cosmicoracle does not require or intend to store complete debit or credit card numbers or card CVV security codes on its own servers.

Sensitive payment authentication information should be entered only into the secure systems provided by the applicable payment provider.

Cosmicoracle may receive limited transaction information such as:

• transaction reference;
• payment status;
• amount paid;
• currency;
• date of payment; and
• selected service.

Payment providers may use their own cookies or security technologies according to their legal responsibilities and privacy policies.

11. Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

Some functionality used by Cosmicoracle may be provided by third-party technology companies.

Depending on the website configuration, these providers could include companies providing:

• hosting infrastructure;
• website security;
• analytics;
• payment processing;
• technical functionality;
• content delivery;
• error monitoring; or
• other supporting technology.

A third-party provider may place or access cookies where necessary to provide its service.

Cosmicoracle aims to understand the purpose of third-party technologies used through its website and to apply appropriate consent or transparency requirements.

Third-party providers may also process information under their own privacy notices where they act independently.

12. AI-Supported Website Functions

Where Cosmicoracle uses AI-supported or automated technology, cookies or similar technologies may support the technical operation, security, or performance of those functions.

Such technologies may help:

• maintain secure interactions;
• protect website tools from abuse;
• preserve relevant user preferences;
• identify technical errors; or
• maintain necessary website functionality.

Cookie information itself is not intended to replace the personal information users deliberately provide when requesting an astrology, numerology, tarot, compatibility, horoscope, or gemstone-related service.

Information intentionally submitted for a Cosmicoracle service is handled according to our Privacy Policy and Data Usage Policy.

We aim to avoid combining cookie information with personal service information for unrelated purposes unless an appropriate lawful basis exists.

13. Advertising and Marketing Technologies

Cosmicoracle will not assume that advertising or behavioural-tracking technologies can be activated without appropriate legal consideration.

If Cosmicoracle uses technologies in the future for purposes such as:

• targeted advertising;
• behavioural profiling;
• cross-site tracking;
• measuring advertising interactions;
• creating advertising audiences; or
• sharing conversion information with advertising partners,

appropriate consent will be obtained where required before such technologies are used.

Users who decline optional advertising technologies should still be able to access the core informational functions of Cosmicoracle, subject to technologies genuinely necessary to provide requested functionality.

We will not classify advertising technologies as essential merely because they may support commercial objectives.

14. Cookie Consent and User Choice

Where consent is legally required, Cosmicoracle aims to obtain it through an appropriate cookie preference mechanism before activating the relevant non-essential technology.

Users may be offered choices such as:

• accepting eligible optional technologies;
• rejecting optional technologies;
• selecting categories individually; or
• changing previously selected preferences.

Where consent is relied upon, it should be freely given, informed, specific, and demonstrated through an appropriate positive action.

Simply browsing Cosmicoracle will not by itself be treated as valid consent where applicable law requires an active choice.

Users should be able to change or withdraw their consent as easily as reasonably possible.

Current ICO guidance requires genuine user control for technologies that do not fall within an applicable exception.

15. Technologies That May Not Require Consent

Not every storage or access technology necessarily requires consent.

Current UK rules recognise specific exceptions where the relevant legal conditions are satisfied. These can include technologies used solely for certain:

• communication purposes;
• strictly necessary functions;
• qualifying statistical purposes;
• appearance or functionality preferences; and
• emergency-assistance purposes.

The scope of these exceptions is limited, and Cosmicoracle will not rely upon an exception for purposes that go beyond its legal requirements.

For certain statistical and appearance-related exceptions, clear information and a simple, free method of objection are required.

Where one technology is used for multiple purposes and one of those purposes does not qualify for an exception, consent may still be required for the non-exempt purpose.

16. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies may operate for different periods depending on their purpose.

They may include:

Session technologies
These generally remain only for the duration of a browser interaction and may expire after the browser is closed.

Persistent technologies
These may remain on the device for a defined period or until removed by the user.

The appropriate duration depends on why the technology is required.

Cosmicoracle aims not to retain cookie identifiers longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.

Where third-party technologies are used, their duration may also depend on the relevant provider's settings.

Cookie durations should be periodically reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate.

17. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow users to control cookies through their settings.

Depending on the browser, users may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete individual cookies;
• delete all cookies;
• block certain cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• limit website storage; or
• configure how websites handle cookies.

Browser controls are separate from any preference mechanism offered directly by Cosmicoracle.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality because some technologies may be necessary for security, authentication, privacy preferences, or other requested website functions.

Users should refer to their browser's current privacy settings for instructions appropriate to their device and browser version.

18. Updates to This Cookie Policy

Cosmicoracle may update this Cookie Policy when:

• website technologies change;
• new functionality is introduced;
• technology providers change;
• our cookie practices change;
• legal requirements change; or
• regulatory guidance is updated.

The Last Updated date at the beginning of this Policy will be revised when appropriate.

We may also update our cookie preference mechanism where the categories or purposes of technologies used on Cosmicoracle change materially.

Our cookie practices will be periodically reviewed so that unnecessary technologies can be identified and removed where appropriate.

Users are encouraged to review this Policy periodically to understand the technologies used through Cosmicoracle.
