Cookie Policy

This page explains the cookies that Aurélie — Boutique Companions uses. We keep this deliberately small: we use only strictly-necessary and functional cookies.

No analytics, advertising or tracking

We do not use any analytics, advertising, profiling or third-party tracking cookies, and we do not embed third-party tracking scripts. The cookies below are essential to operate the site securely and to remember a few of your choices. Under South Africa's POPIA (and ePrivacy rules where they apply), strictly-necessary cookies of this kind do not require your prior opt-in consent, so we do not ask you to "accept" them.

If we ever introduce a non-essential cookie (for example analytics), we will first ask for your explicit opt-in consent and will not set it until you agree.

Managing cookies

Because these cookies are essential to the site working, blocking them in your browser may stop you from signing in, submitting forms, or dismissing notices. You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the cookies we use change. If we add any non-essential cookie, we will update this page and ask for your consent first.
