COOKIE POLICY

Ab Aeterno LLC
Effective 28 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Ab Aeterno LLC (“Ab Aeterno,” “the House,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit www.theabaeterno.com.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on or accessed through your browser or device when you visit a website.

They can perform functions such as:

enabling essential website features;
maintaining a shopping basket or checkout session;
remembering preferences;
supporting website security;
measuring website traffic and performance; and
enabling functionality supplied by third-party services.

Similar technologies may perform comparable functions without necessarily being called cookies.

For the purposes of this Policy, references to “cookies” include comparable storage and access technologies where appropriate.

2. Who Operates This Website?

This website is operated by:

Ab Aeterno LLC
1014 Broadway Street,
#491, Santa Monica,
CA 90401,
United States of America

www.theabaeterno.com

The website is built and hosted using Squarespace.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

The cookies used through this website may fall into the following categories.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website and its requested features to function properly.

They may be used for purposes including:

website security;
navigation;
network management;
maintaining shopping-cart contents;
completing checkout;
remembering privacy or cookie choices; and
enabling functions specifically requested by a visitor.

Because these technologies are necessary to provide the website or a service requested by the visitor, they may not require consent where applicable law provides an exemption.

Disabling essential cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the website or shop from functioning properly.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance technologies help us understand how visitors use the website.

Depending upon our website settings, these may provide information such as:

number of visits;
pages viewed;
traffic sources;
general interaction with the website;
purchases or conversion activity;
device or browser information; and
website performance.

Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, they will be restricted until the visitor makes the appropriate choice.

Preference and Functionality Cookies

These technologies may remember choices or settings that improve how the website functions for a returning visitor.

Where such technologies are not strictly necessary, we will use them subject to any consent requirements that apply.

Third-Party Technologies

Some website functionality may be supplied by third parties.

Depending upon the services enabled on the website, third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when their functionality is loaded.

These parties may include providers involved in:

website hosting and commerce;
payment processing;
fraud prevention;
analytics;
embedded media;
shipping or fulfilment functionality; and
other technical services used by the House.

Their processing of information may also be governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Squarespace Cookies

Our website is operated using Squarespace.

Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, commerce features, security, analytics, visitor preferences, and other services.

The particular technologies placed on your device may vary according to:

the pages you visit;
the website features you use;
whether you make a purchase;
the services enabled by us;
your browser or device;
your geographic region; and
the cookie choices you make.

Because Squarespace may update the technologies used by its platform, the exact list of individual cookies may change from time to time.

5. Consent and Cookie Choices

Where applicable law requires your consent before a non-essential cookie or similar technology is used, we will provide a means for you to make that choice.

Depending upon the version and configuration of our website, the cookie interface may allow you to:

accept cookies;
decline non-essential cookies; or
manage categories of cookies individually.

Non-essential technologies subject to consent requirements should remain restricted until the necessary permission has been given.

Consent is not required for a technology where an applicable legal exemption permits its use without consent.

6. Changing Your Preferences

You may change your cookie preferences through the cookie-management controls made available on the website.

You may also manage cookies through your browser.

Most browsers allow you to:

view stored cookies;
delete cookies;
block particular cookies;
block third-party cookies;
block all cookies; or
configure how websites are permitted to store information.

Blocking all cookies may affect essential website functions, including shopping-cart or checkout functionality.

Browser settings are controlled by the browser provider rather than Ab Aeterno.

7. Cookies and the Shop

Our online shop may require essential technologies in order to perform functions requested by you.

For example, cookies may be necessary to:

remember products placed in a shopping basket;
maintain a checkout session;
process an order securely;
prevent fraud; or
remember relevant transactional choices.

Some such uses may qualify as strictly necessary technologies under applicable law.

8. Payments and Fraud Prevention

When you make a purchase, payment and fraud-prevention providers involved in the transaction may use their own technologies as necessary to provide their services, secure transactions, authenticate payments, or detect misuse.

Their use of cookies and personal information is governed by their respective terms and privacy practices in addition to any controls available through our website.

9. Embedded Content and External Services

Pages on this website may occasionally contain content or functionality supplied by another service, such as embedded media.

Opening or interacting with such content may allow the relevant provider to store or access information on your device.

Where applicable law requires consent before such technology is activated, we will seek to configure the website so that the relevant non-essential technology is not enabled before the required consent is obtained.

Once you follow a link away from the Ab Aeterno website, the destination website's own privacy and cookie practices apply.

10. Analytics

We may use Squarespace Analytics and related functionality to understand general website performance and visitor activity.

Analytics information may include matters such as traffic volumes, page interactions, referral sources, purchasing activity, and technical information about website access.

Where the applicable rules require prior consent for analytics technologies, those technologies will be handled in accordance with the choices made through the website's cookie controls.

11. Do We Use Cookies for Advertising?

Ab Aeterno does not intend this website's ordinary operation to depend upon behavioural advertising or cross-site profiling.

If we introduce advertising, retargeting, behavioural profiling, or materially different tracking technology in the future, we will update this Policy and the relevant consent controls as appropriate before relying upon such technology.

12. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies, which generally expire when the relevant browsing session ends; or

Persistent cookies, which remain for a specified period or until deleted.

The lifespan of a particular cookie depends upon its purpose and the provider that sets it.

Cookie-consent choices may themselves be retained so that the website can remember your preferences.

13. Personal Information

Some information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information or personal data.

Our collection, use, sharing, international transfer, retention, and protection of personal information are addressed in our Privacy Policy.

14. United Kingdom Visitors

Our website and certain House services are available to customers in the United Kingdom.

Where UK rules governing cookies and similar storage or access technologies apply, we aim to provide clear information about their purposes and to obtain consent where required before non-essential technologies are used.

Strictly necessary technologies and other uses falling within an applicable legal exemption may be used without consent as permitted by law.

15. Changes to This Policy

The technologies used on websites evolve over time, and Squarespace or other providers may modify their services.

We may therefore update this Cookie Policy to reflect:

changes to the website;
changes to Squarespace functionality;
new or removed services;
different cookie practices; or
changes in legal requirements.

The date at the beginning of this Policy identifies the current version.
