COOKIES
7.1 To make the Website work properly, Risque Demeanor places small data files called cookies on the User’s device. Most big websites do this too.
7.2 What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on a computer or mobile device when a User visits the site. It enables the website to remember a User’s actions and preferences (such as details of data that you choose to submit to us through online contact forms etc.) over a period of time, so they don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever they browse from one page to another.
7.3 How does Risque Demeanor use cookies?
Risque Demeanor may use cookies to track use of the Website, and to compile statistics on visits to the site in an aggregated form and log anonymous information. When a User visits the Website a cookie may be placed on their machine. Where a User has visited the Website before, the cookie may be read each time they re-visit the site. Risque Demeanor does not use this technology to access any other Information of a User in Risque Demeanor’s records and a User cannot be personally identified from a cookie.
7.4 How to control cookies
Users can control and/or delete cookies as they wish – for details, see aboutcookies.org. Users can delete all cookies that are already on their computers and can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If a User does this, however, the User may have to manually adjust some preferences every time they visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.
