How Elixaneria uses cookies
This cookie policy explains how Elixaneria uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit elixaneria.sbs from Canada. I want you to understand what these small files do, why they exist, and how you can control them. I keep the technical language as light as possible while still being accurate. This policy works alongside the privacy policy and terms, which describe how other data on the site may be handled.
What cookies are and why they matter
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information between pages or visits, such as your preferences or basic technical details. Some cookies last only for a single session, while others may remain for longer periods. On Elixaneria, I use cookies mainly to keep the site secure, understand how people use the content, and remember simple choices where that helps you.
Types of cookies I may use
Managing your cookie choices
You remain in control of how cookies are used when you visit Elixaneria. Your browser already offers tools to block, limit, or delete cookies, and you can combine these settings with any on site consent options I provide. The downside is that some features may not work as intended if certain cookies are disabled. I encourage you to review both your browser controls and this policy before making changes.
Chrome
To manage cookies in Chrome, open Settings, then select Privacy and security, and choose Cookies and other site data. From there you can block third party cookies, clear existing cookies, or set custom rules for elixaneria.sbs. If you clear cookies, your saved preferences on this site, including any consent choices, may be removed and you may need to set them again.
Firefox
To review cookies in Firefox, open Settings, select Privacy and Security, then scroll to Cookies and Site Data. You can clear data, manage exceptions, and choose whether to block certain types of cookies. If you block many cookies by default, some parts of Elixaneria may feel less smooth, and you might see repeated consent banners or lose saved preferences more often.
Safari
In Safari, open Preferences or Settings, then go to Privacy. You can choose to block all cookies, limit cross site tracking, or remove stored data for individual sites, including elixaneria.sbs. If you block all cookies, some websites may not function correctly. For Elixaneria, this could mean losing your cookie consent record and seeing repeated prompts or experiencing less stable behaviour on certain pages.
Edge
In Microsoft Edge, go to Settings, choose Cookies and site permissions, and then select Manage and delete cookies and site data. Here you can block third party cookies, clear cookies on close, or remove specific cookies for elixaneria.sbs. Remember that stricter settings can improve privacy but may also reduce convenience, such as keeping you signed in or remembering your preferences on some sites.
Your choices and rights
Under privacy laws that apply in Canada, you may have rights related to how data associated with cookies is used. These can include rights to access, correct, or delete certain information, and to withdraw consent where it is the legal basis for processing. You can exercise many choices directly through your browser settings and any consent tools on Elixaneria. For other requests, you can contact me using the details on the site. Results may vary depending on the specific data and legal obligations involved.
How long cookies stay active
I keep cookie data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy. Essential cookies usually expire after a short period or when you close your browser. Analytics and functional cookies may remain longer, but I review configurations regularly and update them to reflect current needs. When I no longer require certain data, it is removed or aggregated where possible.
Third party cookies and tools
Some cookies on Elixaneria may be set by third party services that support analytics, embedded content, or security features. These providers process data under their own policies as well as under relevant Canadian and international rules. I aim to work only with reputable partners and to configure their tools in a privacy conscious way. However, I encourage you to review their separate privacy and cookie notices for a fuller picture.
Essential cookies help Elixaneria function at a basic technical level. They support core security features, allow pages to load correctly, and remember simple choices like your cookie consent selection. Without them, the site may not display or behave as intended. These cookies are set to be as limited as practical while still keeping the service stable and usable for visitors in Canada.
Functional cookies support optional features that make Elixaneria more comfortable to use. They might remember your region, help keep simple form preferences, or store whether you have seen certain notices before. These cookies are not strictly required for the site to load, but they can reduce friction and repetitive steps. If you disable them, Elixaneria will still work, though the experience may feel less tailored to your device or context.
I use analytics cookies to understand how people move through Elixaneria, which pages they visit, and where they might get stuck. These cookies collect aggregated, pseudonymous data, such as page views and approximate device type, so I can improve explanations and layout. They do not show me your name or direct identifiers. You can turn them off, but it may limit my ability to refine the site.
Elixaneria does not currently run aggressive advertising campaigns, but some tools I may use in the future could rely on cookies that support broader marketing activities, such as measuring how people arrive at the site from external links. If such tools are enabled, I will describe them here in more detail and seek consent where required. You can usually decline these cookies without affecting access to the core content.
