1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are used for a variety of purposes — to make websites function correctly, to remember your preferences, and to collect information about how you use a site.
Cookies may be "session cookies", which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies", which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They may be placed by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services used by that website ("third-party cookies").
2. How We Use Cookies
Emavo Letters uses cookies in two categories: essential cookies, which are required for the website to function and do not require your consent, and optional cookies, which are placed only where you have given consent via our cookie banner.
When you first visit this website, you are presented with a cookie consent banner. You may choose to accept all cookies, accept selected categories, or accept essential cookies only. Your preference is stored and applied on subsequent visits. You may change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.

5. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on this website embed content from third-party services, including the Google Maps embed on our contact page. These third-party services may place cookies on your device when you interact with their embedded content. We do not control these cookies. Third-party cookie policies apply to their own services.
We do not permit third-party advertising networks to place cookies through this website. No advertising cookies are placed on this site.
