1. Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These artifacts are absolutely non-negotiable. They mathematically sustain the primary pillars of the software routing:
- **Authentication Checksums:** Validation tags ensuring your session token remains synchronized during Escrow funding logic.
- **CSRF Tokens:** Security layers combating Cross-Site Request Forgery across Stripe Connect webhooks.
- **Routing Rules:** Temporary cache pointers distributing server loads across AWS clusters locally to your region.
2. Functional & Preference Cookies
Mechanisms designated strictly to remember your interface inputs without forcing redundant configuration selections during subsequent sessions:
- Language dictionary caching (e.g., locking your preference to Spanish or English localization logic).
- Dismissal flags for notification banners so they do not repetitively interrupt your experience.
3. Analytics & Telemetry Metrics
Leveraged purely for anonymous systems performance oversight. This never profiles individuals for advertising:
- **Crash Tracking:** Telemetry capturing error codes if the servers timeout, optimizing our internal deployment pipelines.
- **Load Velocity:** Aggregated metrics measuring how swiftly the framework fundamentally renders.
4. Stripe & Financial Artifacts
Given Aura Global relies on embedded Stripe Checkout integrations to formulate the fractional Escrow logic, Stripe directly deposits essential security cookies within the browser sandbox. These definitively authenticate the financial legitimacy of the request and run native heuristics against Card Testing or fraud maneuvers (Stripe Radar). These fall categorically under Strictly Necessary.
5. Your Autonomy and Controls
- **Browser Disablement:** You can configure Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge to categorically block tracking cookies.
- **Critical Warning:** We formally warn that disabling Strictly Necessary cookies will critically sever the operational integrity of your session, fundamentally rendering the Booking Flow, the Escrow TrustSlider, and Stripe payments mathematically impossible.
6. Expiration Lifecycles
- **Session Cookies:** Eradicated the millisecond you proactively hit Logout, severing the browser timeline in memory.
- **Persistent Cookies:** Preferences (like your localized language) maintain a statutory TTL (Time to Live) span of exactly 90 days before mandating renewal.
