Cookies Notice

Last updated: 13/04/2026

This Cookie Notice explains how Aster (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

Our website is built on Squarespace. Squarespace provides tools that allow us to display a cookie banner and restrict some non-essential cookies until a visitor gives consent. Squarespace also notes that some connected third-party services may still place cookies or process data under their own systems, so those services should also be considered separately.
