Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 July 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies AerQio uses, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your web browser when you visit it. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and provide a personalised experience.
Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party) or by third-party services embedded in that website.
