Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-30
This Cookie Policy explains how Aphrodite uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) when you use our websites and applications. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use comparable technologies such aslocalStorage and authentication tokens. We group them into three categories: strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing.
2. Your choices
Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Services cannot function without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are used only if you consent. You can accept all, reject the optional ones, or set your preferences via the cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time:
We re-ask for your consent at least every 6 months. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though strictly necessary cookies are needed to stay signed in.
