This Cookie Policy explains how Aegis Brightsmark Capital MB ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on thelivingchronicle.com (the "Website"). It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and provide analytics. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.
2. Our Approach
We follow a consent-first approach for non-essential cookies. On your first visit from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will see a cookie banner that lets you:
- Accept all — Enable all cookie categories
- Reject all — Decline every non-essential category
- Customize — Choose categories individually
No analytics, marketing, or non-essential cookies are set before you give consent. Your choice is stored for 12 months, after which we ask again.
3. Cookie Categories

These are required for the Website to function. You cannot disable them.

3.3 Marketing (opt-in)

4. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services we integrate may set their own cookies when embedded content loads (for example, YouTube videos in blog posts). These only appear after consent.
5. Managing Cookies
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the Website footer. You can also clear cookies directly in your browser:
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Website.
6. Do Not Track
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When GPC is enabled, we treat it as a rejection of analytics and marketing cookies.
