Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Astrology Yearbook uses cookies and similar technologies on the website. The purpose of this policy is to provide clear and transparent information about what cookies are, how they are used, and what choices may be available to users. The website provides informational content related to horoscope 2026, tarot 2026, and personal horoscope formats and uses cookies primarily to support functionality and understand general usage. This policy is intended to help users make informed decisions about their interaction with the website.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise a device or browser and can support functions such as page navigation, preference storage, and performance measurement. Cookies do not typically identify you directly, but they can contain information that supports a more consistent browsing experience. The information stored in cookies is limited to what is necessary for these basic purposes.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Astrology Yearbook uses cookies for limited and clearly defined purposes. These purposes include ensuring that the website functions correctly, understanding how visitors navigate the site, and improving clarity and usability. Cookies are not used to provide personalised services or to influence decisions. Their role is limited to supporting the operation and quality of the website. This approach helps maintain a transparent and predictable user experience.

4. Types of Cookies Used
Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate properly. They support basic functions such as page loading, navigation, and security-related features. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not function as intended. These cookies are enabled by default as they are essential for site operation.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may be used to remember choices or preferences where such features are available. These cookies help improve usability by maintaining consistency during a browsing session. They are not essential for core operation but contribute to a smoother experience. Their use is limited to enhancing convenience rather than tracking behaviour.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may be used to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the website. This includes data such as pages viewed, time spent on pages, and general navigation patterns. The information collected is used to understand overall usage trends and to improve site structure and content presentation. Where choices are provided, analytics cookies are treated as non-essential. The data collected through these cookies does not aim to identify individual users.

5. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies such as local storage or comparable tools that support functionality and performance measurement. These technologies serve similar purposes and are used in a manner consistent with this policy. They are applied only where necessary to maintain stable website operation.

6. Managing Cookie Preferences

Where cookie preference tools are provided, users may choose whether to allow non-essential cookies. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block all cookies or selected cookies, and receive notifications when cookies are set. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Browser-based controls may vary depending on the software and version used.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers that support website hosting, analytics, or security. These providers act under appropriate arrangements and use cookies only for purposes related to website operation and performance. The specific cookies used may change as the website is updated or improved. Astrology Yearbook does not control the technical configuration of third-party cookies.

8. Cookie Retention

Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Retention periods are chosen to support functionality and site improvement while avoiding unnecessary storage. Different cookies may therefore remain active for different lengths of time.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website functionality, cookie usage, or legal requirements. Any updates will be reflected by revising the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed. Continued use of the website indicates awareness of the current version of this policy.
