This page lists what astro-synth.com stores in your browser and why. "Cookies" here also covers similar storage (local storage and session storage).
The short version
- The site works without analytics cookies. Those are set only if you agree.
- Cookies needed to pay and to protect the site are always set, because the service cannot work without them.
- You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.

We use Google Analytics 4 to see how many people visit, which pages and tools they use and whether a visit leads to an order. Google receives usage data and the identifiers above; it does not receive what you type into the order form or the free tools. If you do not consent, the analytics script is not loaded at all.
Marketing
We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.
How to change your choice
- Use the Cookie settings link in the footer to accept or withdraw consent for analytics.
- You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the necessary ones will stop the order page from working.
