1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Aura Creative Studio (“Aura,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.auracreativestudio.dev (the “Site”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to control them.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle the personal information we collect more broadly.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Make our Site function and remember your preferences;
- Understand how visitors find and interact with our Site;
- Measure the performance of our content and marketing campaigns;
- Improve your overall browsing experience.
We place non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising cookies) only after you give consent through our cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the Site cannot function properly without them.
4. Types of Cookies We Use

5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our Site. These providers may use cookies to collect information about your online activities across websites and over time. We do not control these third-party cookies; their use is governed by the providers’ own privacy and cookie policies:
6. Other Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, we use related technologies such as pixels and browser local storage. For example, we store your cookie consent preference in your browser’s local storage so that we do not repeatedly ask for it. Our advertising and analytics providers may also use pixels or tags to measure interactions and conversions. These technologies are subject to the same consent and control mechanisms described in this policy.
7. Your Consent
When you first visit our Site, we present a cookie banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. We place analytics and advertising cookies only after you accept them. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing the consent choice stored in your browser and reloading the Site, or by using your browser controls described below. Withdrawing consent does not affect cookies that were already placed before you changed your choice, but you can remove those through your browser.
8. How to Manage Cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Our cookie banner: accept or decline non-essential cookies when you visit, and revisit the choice at any time.
- Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before they are set. Refer to your browser’s help pages for instructions.
- Global Privacy Control: we honor the GPC browser signal as an opt-out of advertising cookies where required by law.
9. Browser Controls & Opt-Outs
You can opt out of specific analytics and advertising technologies using the tools below:
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Google My Ad Center (control personalized ads)
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out
- Your Online Choices (EU)
- AllAboutCookies.org (general guidance)
Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of our Site may not function as intended, and your preferences may not be remembered.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and operational reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
