Our Cookie Policy
At Breathe & Flow Online Yoga Studio, we believe in transparency. This policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our site, and improve your overall browsing experience.
Without cookies, many features of our website would not be able to function as intended. They are essential for a seamless and personalized user journey, from remembering your login status to helping us analyze site traffic and optimize content.
It's important to differentiate between session cookies, which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Both types play a crucial role in delivering our services effectively.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for various purposes to provide you with a high-quality, personalized service. Below is a detailed breakdown of the types of cookies we employ and their specific functions.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, services like secure login or shopping cart functionality would not be possible.
They ensure the basic operability and security of the site, making sure your connection is stable and that critical functions perform correctly. Disabling these cookies may impact the core functionality of the website.
Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance effectively. This data is vital for continuous improvement and optimization of our user experience.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. For example, they can remember your language preferences or your region.
If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly. They contribute to a more tailored and convenient experience, remembering your choices to make subsequent visits more efficient.
Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies are crucial for us to understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to reach potential new members.
Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These include services like Google Analytics, social media integrations, and embedded content from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.
These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the third parties providing them. We encourage you to review their policies to understand their data practices. They help us provide richer content and integrate with platforms you might already use.
