2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

3. How We Use Cookies

Aurora Cedar Bay uses cookies and browser localStorage for essential functionality and to enhance your experience.

localStorage data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
