What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Some are essential for the site to function; others are used to remember preferences or to track activity. We use only the first kind.
The cookies we use
- Admin session cookie — set only when the studio owner signs in to manage the website. It’s a strictly-necessary, secure cookie that keeps the admin logged in. It is never set for ordinary visitors.
- Cookie-choice preference — when you respond to our cookie notice, we save your choice in your browser’s local storage so the banner doesn’t reappear on every visit. This stays on your device and isn’t sent to us.
What we don’t use
We don’t use analytics, advertising, social-media or any other third-party tracking cookies. We don’t build profiles of visitors or share browsing data with advertisers.
Managing cookies
Because we only use strictly-necessary cookies, there’s nothing you need to switch off to protect your privacy. You can still clear or block cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings — though blocking the essential cookie would prevent the admin area from working. Guidance for every major browser is available at aboutcookies.org.
Changes to this policy
If our use of cookies changes — for example, if we ever add analytics — we’ll update this page and, where required, ask for your consent first.
