1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your language preference or consent choices — for a defined period of time.
This page explains what cookies the Azurion website uses, why, and how you can manage them. For broader information about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies on this site into four categories:
2.1 Essential Cookies

2.2 Analytics Cookies
With your consent, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and how long they spend on the site. This information is used in aggregate and is not linked to identifiable individuals. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

These are set by Meta Pixel and Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) respectively. No personal profile is built from this data for the purposes of re-targeting on our behalf.

Currently, no preference cookies are set beyond what is covered under essential cookies above. This category is reserved for future use.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services embedded in our pages. These include:

4. How to Manage Cookies
When you first visit our website, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline cookies by category. Essential cookies cannot be declined as they are required for the site to operate.
You may update your preferences at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the site footer. Your selection is stored locally on your device; clearing your browser storage or cookies will reset your preferences and the banner will reappear.
4.1 Browser-Level Controls
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. Links to cookie management guidance for common browsers:
4.2 Opt-Out Tools
For analytics and advertising cookies specifically, the following opt-out tools are available:
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Your Online Choices (EU/UK)
- Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out (US)
5. Cookie Consent Storage
Your cookie preferences are stored in your browser's local storage under the key azurion_cookie_consent. This JSON object records which categories you have consented to, along with a timestamp and version number. It is not transmitted to our servers and is not used for tracking.
An example of the stored structure:

"timestamp": "2025-03-15T09:41:00Z",

This Cookie Policy may be updated when we add new cookies, change cookie durations, or update the third-party services we use. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Where changes are material, we will reset the consent banner so that you can review and confirm your preferences again.
