AstralnautStudios.com uses cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar technologies. Necessary technologies support sign-in, security, carts, checkout, load balancing, consent choices, and account features. Functional technologies remember non-essential preferences such as your language and whether you disabled non-essential animations. Analytics technologies (first-party only) measure use and performance and load only after you consent. Marketing technologies enable advertising and cross-site tracking; the only one in use is the Meta Pixel, which measures whether our advertising on Facebook and Instagram led to a subscription. It is not requested from Meta’s servers, and sends nothing, unless you consent to marketing.

Your controls
Necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the preference center because the Service cannot function without them. Functional, analytics, and marketing categories are opt-in and can be changed or withdrawn at any time. Withdrawal takes effect immediately: category cookies are removed where feasible and the associated scripts stop sending. A third-party script already running in the page cannot be removed from it, so for the Meta Pixel withdrawal instructs it to stop transmitting and deletes its cookies; it is not loaded at all on any subsequent page load. We honor the Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) browser signal — when present we automatically treat analytics and marketing as opted out and record that the choice was derived from GPC.
