Cookie Notice

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small data files that websites and online services may store on or access from a visitor's browser or device.

Websites may also use similar technologies, including local storage and other browser-based storage mechanisms, to remember preferences, support website functionality, maintain security, and understand how visitors use a website.

In this Notice, we use the term “cookies” generally to include cookies and similar website technologies where appropriate.

2. How We Use Cookies

Andaaz Weddings uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes that may include:

operating and securely delivering the Website;

remembering visitor privacy and cookie preferences;

supporting website forms and security features;

providing language and translation functionality;

understanding general Website traffic and performance when optional analytics technologies are permitted; and

protecting forms and the Website against spam, automated submissions, fraud, abuse, and malicious activity.

We do not currently use cookies for behavioral retargeting, cross-context behavioral advertising, or advertising-pixel tracking.

3. Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies and similar technologies support functions required for the Website to operate securely and provide features requested by visitors.

These technologies may be used regardless of whether a visitor accepts optional analytics or performance cookies because disabling them may prevent important Website functionality from operating correctly.

Necessary technologies may support functions such as:

Website security;

cookie and privacy-preference management;

form functionality;

fraud and spam prevention;

translation functionality and related technical storage where necessary; and

other technical functions required to deliver the Website.

The particular necessary cookies used may vary depending on the Website features active during a visitor's session.

4. Squarespace Cookies

Our Website is hosted on Squarespace.

Squarespace may use necessary cookies and similar technologies to securely operate and deliver the Website and to remember choices made through the Website's cookie controls.

For example, Squarespace may use technologies that remember a visitor's cookie and privacy choices.

Squarespace also provides built-in analytics functionality. When applicable analytics and performance cookies are permitted, Squarespace currently identifies the following cookies among those that may be used:

ss_cid — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions; currently described by Squarespace as lasting up to two years.

ss_cpvisit — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions; currently described by Squarespace as lasting up to two years.

ss_cvisit — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions; currently described by Squarespace as lasting approximately 30 minutes.

ss_cvr — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions; currently described by Squarespace as lasting up to two years.

ss_cvt — identifies unique visitors and tracks sessions; currently described by Squarespace as lasting approximately 30 minutes.

Cookie names, purposes, and durations are controlled by Squarespace and may change as its services or technologies change.

Andaaz Weddings does not currently include Squarespace Activity Log data in our Analytics configuration.

5. Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use Squarespace's built-in analytics functionality to understand general Website traffic and performance.

Our current Squarespace configuration restricts applicable non-essential analytics and performance cookies until a visitor accepts those technologies through the cookie banner or cookie-preference controls.

If a visitor declines optional cookies, certain analytics information may be limited or less complete.

Andaaz Weddings does not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising pixels, heatmaps, session-recording tools, or behavioral-retargeting technologies on this Website.

6. Weglot and Language Preferences

We use Weglot to provide Urdu translation and language functionality on portions of the Website.

Weglot may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to provide translations, store translated content, and remember language-related preferences.

Weglot currently identifies certain translation-storage technologies as necessary to its service. Weglot also identifies a session cookie called wglang that may store a visitor's language preference and is classified by Weglot as non-necessary.

Our current Website configuration does not use Weglot's automatic browser-language switching feature. Visitors select their preferred language manually.

Because Weglot controls the technologies associated with its service, cookie names, purposes, storage methods, and durations may change over time.

7. Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on certain Website forms to help identify and prevent spam, automated submissions, fraud, abuse, and malicious activity.

Google states that reCAPTCHA sets a necessary cookie called _GRECAPTCHA when reCAPTCHA is executed for risk-analysis purposes.

reCAPTCHA may also process technical information associated with a visitor's browser, device, network, and interaction with the Website as necessary to provide its security functionality.

Because reCAPTCHA is used for Website and form security, technologies necessary for reCAPTCHA functionality may operate independently of optional analytics-cookie choices.

8. Third-Party Technologies

Certain Website features rely on third-party service providers.

Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies when necessary to provide services to Andaaz Weddings or when a visitor interacts with their functionality.

Our current Website technology providers relevant to cookies and similar technologies include Squarespace, Weglot, and Google reCAPTCHA.

We do not currently use third-party advertising networks, advertising pixels, or behavioral-retargeting technologies on the Website.

Third-party providers may modify their technologies, cookie names, storage methods, and retention periods over time. Their handling of information is also subject to their own privacy policies and terms.

9. Your Cookie Choices

When you visit the Website, our Squarespace cookie banner provides controls relating to optional cookies.

Visitors may:

Accept All optional cookies;

Decline All optional cookies; or

select Manage Cookies to review and manage available cookie preferences.

Necessary cookies and similar technologies that are required to operate, secure, or provide requested Website functionality may remain active even when optional cookies are declined.

Our Website also provides a Cookie Preferences control that allows visitors to revisit available choices.

10. Changing or Withdrawing Your Preferences

You may revisit the Cookie Preferences control available on the Website to review or change available cookie choices.

Changing a preference generally affects future use of the applicable technologies. It may not automatically remove information that was previously collected or stored before the preference was changed.

You may also be able to delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

If you clear cookies or browser storage, use another browser or device, or otherwise reset browser data, the Website may no longer remember your previous cookie choices and may ask you to make those choices again.

11. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to view, delete, restrict, or block cookies through browser settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect Website functionality because some necessary technologies are required for security, forms, language preferences, privacy choices, or other Website features.

Browser controls operate separately from the cookie-preference controls provided directly through our Website.

12. Changes to This Cookie Notice

The cookies and technologies used by the Website may change as we modify Website features, service providers, security tools, translation functionality, or analytics practices.

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect material changes in our practices, technologies, vendors, or applicable legal requirements.

When we update this Notice, we will post the revised version on this page and update the Last Updated date.
