Overview
This Policy regulates the use of cookies onto our website: www.amberstudio.com (“Website”) and about how the user can interact or delete cookie files.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed and stored on your computer, smartphone or other Internet-optimized device when you visit a website. Cookies are a convenient way to carry information from one session on a website to another, or between sessions on related websites, without having to burden a server machine with massive amounts of data storage. Storing the data on the server without using cookies would also be problematic because it would be difficult to retrieve a particular user's information without requiring a login on each visit to the website.
If there is a large amount of information to store, then a cookie can simply be used as a mean to identify a given user so that further related information can be looked up on a server-side database. For example, the first time a user visits a site they may choose a username which is stored in the cookie, and then provide data such as password, name, address, preferred font size, page layout, etc. - this information would all be stored on the database using the username as a key. Subsequently when the site is revisited the server will read the cookie to find the username, and then retrieve all the user's information from the database without it having to be re-entered.
Amber Studio can make use of cookie type files (tiny files that are stored on your computer's hard drive or mobile device that identify your computer or mobile device when you access certain web pages or apps and may store information about you, such as behavioral data).
If you are going to share personal information with us, cookie shall apply, and you have all the legal rights as explained in our Privacy Policy.
