This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Astra uses, why, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?

Third-Party Cookies
We do not currently embed any third-party advertising, tracking, or social-media widgets on our site. The hCaptcha widget on our demo request form may set a functional cookie to verify your session; see hCaptcha's Privacy Policy.
Our website fonts (Inter) are served via Next.js font optimisation, which downloads and self-hosts the font files at build time. No font request is made to Google servers when you visit the site.
How to Manage Your Preferences
You can update your cookie preferences at any time using our preference centre:
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the site from functioning correctly. Common browser instructions:
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) opt-out signal, we automatically honour it — no banner is shown and only strictly necessary cookies are used.
