This Cookie Policy explains how AL Design Journal (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://aldesignjournal.com/. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. 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 in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate. We refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies.
On AL Design Journal, we use cookies to:
- Authentication: Identify you when you log in to your personal account so you can post reviews and comments.
- Security: Protect your account and our site from unauthorized access or malicious activity.
- Preferences: Remember your settings and preferences (such as language or display options).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas (User Accounts). Without these cookies, services like commenting or logging in cannot be provided.
- Functionality Cookies: These allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
4. Third-Party Cookies
At this stage, AL Design Journal does not host third-party advertisements or tracking pixels from social media networks. However, we may use basic analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to understand how our audience interacts with our cinema reviews. These tools may set their own cookies to collect anonymous traffic data.
5. How Can You Control Cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
- Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (like your personal profile) may be restricted.
- Do Not Track: Some browsers include “Do Not Track” features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Our Website currently does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals as there is no uniform standard yet.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
