Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 14 April 2025 | Effective Date: 14 April 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or whether you have previously accepted a cookie notice — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Similar technologies include local storage entries, session storage, and pixel tags. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we mean all of these unless otherwise noted.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on somnstuds.cyou for three purposes: to keep the site functioning, to understand how visitors use it, and to remember your cookie preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track your activity across other websites.

Analytics Cookies — these help us understand how visitors interact with our website. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this to improve our content and structure.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Our website may embed content from third-party platforms such as Google Maps. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content. We do not control these cookies and recommend reviewing the relevant third-party privacy and cookie policies:
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a notice at the bottom of the page allows you to accept or decline analytics cookies. Essential cookies cannot be declined as they are necessary for the site to work.
You may update your preferences at any time using the panel below. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and will be respected on future visits.
Your Cookie Preferences
Essential Cookies
Required for the website to function. Cannot be disabled.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site. Data is anonymised.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will affect how the website functions. For guidance on managing cookies in your browser:
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals your preference not to be tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for what they require. Analytics cookies are only placed based on your explicit consent through our cookie notice.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes or when legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.
