1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how AstroScope uses cookies and similar technologies when visitors access the website, read informational pages, or interact with standard website features. AstroScope publishes neutral informational content relating to horoscope 2026, tarot 2026, and personal horoscope topics, and this policy is intended to describe clearly how small data files and comparable technologies may support website operation, security, and limited measurement activities. Under UK rules, organisations that use cookies or similar technologies must provide clear information about them, and consent is generally required unless an applicable exception applies.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on a visitor’s device when a website is accessed. Similar technologies may also be used to store information on a device or to access information already stored there. UK guidance explains that these rules are not limited to traditional browser cookies and can also apply to other storage and access technologies. On AstroScope, references to cookies in this policy should be read broadly to include similar technologies where relevant to website operation.

3. Why cookies may be used on this website
AstroScope may use cookies or similar technologies for a limited range of website purposes, including maintaining core functionality, supporting security, remembering basic technical preferences, and helping the website operate in a stable and predictable way. In some cases, limited measurement tools may also be used to understand how pages are accessed or how website performance can be improved, provided that such use is consistent with applicable legal requirements. The website does not describe cookies as a hidden feature, and their role is intended to remain proportionate to the informational nature of the site.

4. Strictly necessary cookies
Some cookies may be classed as strictly necessary where they are essential to provide an online service requested by the user or to support a core website function that cannot operate properly without them. ICO guidance explains that there is an exception for cookies that are essential for such purposes. Where AstroScope uses strictly necessary cookies, they are used to enable ordinary website operation, basic functionality, or security-related processes rather than for unrelated tracking. These cookies are limited to what is reasonably required for the relevant function.

5. Consent for non-essential cookies
Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, AstroScope seeks to ensure that they are not used unless the visitor has been given clear information and an appropriate opportunity to provide consent where required. ICO guidance states that consent for cookies must be actively and clearly given, and that PECR uses the UK GDPR standard of consent. This means that optional cookies should not be treated in the same way as necessary cookies, and visitors should be able to understand the distinction before making a choice.

6. Information provided to users
AstroScope aims to give visitors clear and comprehensive information about the purposes of cookies and similar technologies used on the website. This includes explaining, in a straightforward manner, what a cookie does, why it is used, and whether it is necessary for website operation or optional in nature. UK guidance states that users should be told if cookies are set and should be given clear explanations about what those cookies do and why they are used. AstroScope therefore presents cookie information as part of its general commitment to transparency and predictable website use.

7. Analytics, measurement, and advertising-related technologies
If AstroScope uses measurement or analytics technologies, they are intended to help review website performance, understand general patterns of page access, or improve the clarity and technical presentation of the site. The website does not describe such tools in exaggerated terms and does not treat them as essential unless that status is legally justified. ICO guidance also states that the use of storage and access technologies for online advertising purposes requires consent. AstroScope therefore treats any non-essential tracking or advertising-related technology as a separate matter from strictly necessary functionality.

8. Managing cookie choices
Visitors can usually manage cookies through the options presented on the website, through browser settings, or through device-level controls, depending on the technology involved. Blocking or removing certain cookies may affect how some website features work, especially where the relevant cookie supports a necessary technical function. AstroScope aims to make cookie choices understandable so that visitors can recognise the practical difference between necessary cookies and optional ones. This approach reflects UK guidance that consent choices should be meaningful and based on clear information.

9. Relationship with data protection law
Cookie use on AstroScope is considered alongside the broader UK data protection framework, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, where personal data may be involved. ICO guidance explains that PECR sits alongside the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and that PECR takes precedence where the specific cookie rules apply. AstroScope therefore approaches cookie use as part of a wider privacy framework that includes transparency, fairness, data minimisation, and appropriate handling of any personal data linked to cookie-based processing.

10. Updates to this policy
AstroScope may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website operation, cookie use, technical arrangements, or applicable UK legal requirements. Where updates are made, the revised version will be published on the website with an updated date so that visitors can review the current version. This helps maintain transparency and supports a clear understanding of how cookies and similar technologies are used on the site over time.
