2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, or provide information to the website owners.
Cookies may be:
- First-party cookies: Set by the Site you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies: Set by a domain other than the website you are visiting (e.g., MailerLite, analytics providers, affiliate platforms).

- Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a specified duration or until you delete them.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (pixels), tags, and scripts (collectively referred to as “cookies” in this policy).

4. MailerLite Cookies and Pixels
For newsletter operations, we use MailerLite, an email marketing platform. MailerLite places tracking pixels in emails we send and sets cookies on the Site to:
- Track email opens and click-through rates
- Measure the effectiveness of email campaigns
- Associate newsletter engagement with website browsing behavior (for subscribed users)
- Display and manage newsletter signup forms
Opt-out: You may unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email. Unsubscribing stops email tracking and disables associated MailerLite cookies on subsequent visits.
MailerLite’s privacy practices are described in MailerLite’s Privacy Policy. MailerLite participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
5. Affiliate Tracking Cookies
Where the Site participates in affiliate programs, affiliate partners may place cookies on your device when you click an affiliate link. These cookies:
- Track that you arrived at the partner site via Aeterna Method
- Enable the partner to attribute any resulting purchase to our referral
- Typically last 30-90 days, depending on the affiliate program
These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. They contain only a unique referral identifier. Affiliate links and relationships are always clearly disclosed at or near the point of the link.
If you wish to avoid affiliate tracking, do not click affiliate links, or clear your cookies after visiting the Site but before making purchases. You may also use browser features to block third-party cookies.
