1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly or more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to help website operators understand how visitors interact with their site.
Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Rhythora) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (such as analytics, mapping, or advertising). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer or device both when it visits the Website and when it visits certain other websites.
By using pryxthelhrex.world and accepting our cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time as described in Section 5 below.
2. Why Rhythora Uses Cookies
Rhythora uses cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:
- To enable essential website functionality (such as remembering your cookie preferences)
- To understand how visitors use pryxthelhrex.world so we can improve our content and structure
- To remember your preferences and settings across visits
- To support embedded third-party services such as Google Maps
- To detect and prevent security threats and fraudulent activity
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for pryxthelhrex.world to function properly. Without these cookies, certain features of the Website would not be available. They include:
- rhythora_cookie — Stores your cookie consent preference (accept or decline). Duration: 1 year. First-party.
- Session cookies — Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser, used to maintain your session while browsing.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we do not require your consent to place them. However, you can still block them through your browser settings (see Section 5), though doing so may affect website functionality.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with pryxthelhrex.world, which pages are most popular, and how visitors navigate the Website. This helps us improve the user experience and our content. These cookies include:
- Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat) — Used to distinguish users and throttle request rate. Duration: 2 years (_ga), 24 hours (_gid), 1 minute (_gat). Third-party (Google LLC).
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. For more information on Google Analytics cookies, visit google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. These include:
- Language and regional preference cookies
- Font loading and display preference cookies
3.4 Third-Party Service Cookies
Some third-party services embedded in pryxthelhrex.world may set their own cookies. These include:
- Google Maps — Our embedded map uses Google's services which may set cookies to remember your map preferences and provide the mapping functionality. These are third-party cookies set by Google LLC and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
- Font delivery (Google Fonts CDN) — Google Fonts may log requests to serve fonts, though Rhythora loads fonts in a privacy-preserving manner where possible.
- Font Awesome CDN — Used to serve icon fonts. May log request metadata for CDN performance purposes.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies can be "session cookies" or "persistent cookies":
- Session cookies expire and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your current visit session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them. Our consent cookie (rhythora_cookie) is a persistent cookie with a 1-year duration.
5. Managing and Controlling Cookies
You have several options for managing and controlling cookies:
5.1 Through Our Cookie Notice
When you first visit pryxthelhrex.world, you will be presented with a cookie notice asking you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage (which removes the rhythora_cookie value) and revisiting the Website.
5.2 Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Block all cookies (note: this will prevent essential cookies and may significantly impair website functionality)
- Block third-party cookies only (recommended if you want analytics blocking without affecting essential functionality)
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
- Accept or block cookies from specific websites

5.3 Opt-Out of Analytics

6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. At present, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Rhythora does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we remain committed to respecting user privacy and will review this position as standards develop.
7. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, third-party services we rely upon, or applicable legal requirements. Any significant changes will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
