1.1 Cookies

During your visit on treeswiftaudio.com, our webserver is sending cookies for storage and later retrieval to and from your browser that lets our system uniquely recognize your browsing session. This way, it can identify your session across multiple web requests and identify you as a return customer. They also help us analyze how visitors are using our services, and maintain and optimize the operation of our website.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. The data in these text files is not associated with your personal information (such as your name or address), and will not be stored together with any such information. In addition, we take technical precautions to pseudonymize any cookie data that we store on our systems in order to make it impossible to associate it with your identity at a later point.

Most web browsers accept cookies by default; you can change this behavior in the security settings of your browser, and also delete any cookies stored at an earlier point manually or automatically. Many browsers provide a setting that will delete all cookies from a website at the end of your visit or your browsing session regardless of their expiry date, or reject cookies entirely. Please be aware that in the latter case, you might lose access to certain features of our website that rely on cookies or experience other technical difficulties, so we recommend keeping session cookies activated.

In some cases, third-party websites that provide content and functionality embedded in our website (such as the websites hosting our embedded videos or providing our web shop functionality) might store and retrieve cookies on their own.

We don’t allow any third parties to associate these cookies with personal information we collect. Many web browsers offer a setting to specifically reject third-party cookies; consult the security settings of your browser if you want to do so. You can find a complete list of third parties that supply content embedded in our website in section 3. of this document.
