1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how Ainuvia ("we", "us" or "our"), operated by [Company Name], uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit ainuvia.com (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data more broadly.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide analytical information to website owners.
Cookies can be classified along several dimensions:
- By party: First-party cookies are set directly by us. Third-party cookies are set by external services we embed on the Site (e.g., Google Analytics).
- By duration: Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them.
- By purpose: Technical/strictly necessary cookies enable core functionality. Analytical/statistical cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site. Marketing cookies track users across websites to deliver targeted advertising (we do not currently use these).
