Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Fyronastrael uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Fyronastrael) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below:
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our website functions.

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use these cookies to improve how our website works.

How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by following the instructions provided below:
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
Browser-Specific Instructions:
- Chrome: Cookie settings in Chrome
- Firefox: Cookie settings in Firefox
- Internet Explorer: Cookie settings in Internet Explorer
- Safari: Cookie settings in Safari
- Edge: Cookie settings in Edge
If you use a different browser, please refer to your browser's documentation. You can also find out more information in the help section of your browser.
Do Not Track
Some browsers, like Firefox and Safari, include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. When enabled, these features send a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is currently no standard for how websites should respond to these signals, so we do not currently respond to DNT signals on our website.
What About Other Tracking Technologies?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
Do You Use Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Our website may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions.
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.
Do You Serve Targeted Advertising?
We do not currently serve third-party advertisements on our website. However, we may use third-party analytics and other service providers to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on our website. This helps us to better understand our audience and improve our services.
For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's ("NAI") educational page.
How Often Will You Update This Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on our website with a prominent notice.
We encourage you to revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
The date at the bottom of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
