COOKIE POLICY

​

​

Last Updated: August 2026

 

This Cookie Policy explains how Diane Marie Ladrido doing business as Affordable Web Studio ("Agency," "AWS," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website or interact with our digital platform.

 

This policy should be read alongside our [Privacy Policy] and [Terms & Conditions]. By continuing to browse or use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

 

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, improve user navigation, remember your preferences, and provide analytical reporting data.

 

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and scripts to collect operational data.

 

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies on our website into four main categories:

 

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are mandatory for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core functionalities such as page navigation, secure checkout processing, account login, and access to protected website areas.

 

  • Example: Session cookies that maintain your selected plan during the checkout process.

 

B. Performance & Analytical Cookies

These cookies allow us to count site visits, traffic sources, and page navigation paths so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site.

 

  • Example: Google Analytics cookies that anonymously track user interactions and time spent on pages.

 

C. 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 (such as chat widgets or embedded contact forms).

 

  • Example: Remembering your language preferences or pre-filling basic form fields.

 

D. Marketing & Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by third-party advertising partners or platform tracking tools. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant announcements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

 

3. Third-Party Cookies on Our Website

Because our website utilizes trusted third-party infrastructure and service integrations, third-party organizations may also place cookies on your device when you interact with our site:

 

  • Wix.com (Web Platform): Essential and performance cookies required to render the site, maintain server load balancing, and protect against security threats.

 

  • Stripe & PayPal (Payment Processors): Essential fraud-prevention and security cookies used during subscription checkouts.

 

  • Google (Analytics & Search): Analytical cookies used via Google Analytics and Google Search Console to monitor traffic quality and indexing health.

 

AWS does not directly control third-party cookies. For more details on how third parties handle your data, please review their respective cookie policies.

 

4. How You Can Control & Manage Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage or disable cookies in several ways:

 

A. Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to accept or customize your non-essential cookie preferences.

 

B. Web Browser Settings

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences directly through their setting menus. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, block third-party cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being sent.

 

To manage cookies on popular browsers, visit the help documentation for your browser:

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, certain features of our website (such as online checkout or inquiry forms) may not function properly.

 

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

 

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised.
