This page explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and how you can manage your preferences. If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — for example, your preferences or whether you have already seen a particular notice. Cookies do not contain personal information on their own, and they cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your device.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can adjust your browser settings to control how they are handled. Instructions for common browsers are provided further down this page.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They support core operations such as remembering your cookie consent choice and maintaining basic site security. They do not collect information that could be used for marketing.
cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference choice · Duration: 1 year
Analytics Cookies
Optional
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. This information is anonymised and used only to improve the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
_ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics visitor tracking · Duration: up to 2 years
_gid — distinguishes users · Duration: 24 hours
Marketing Cookies
Optional
Marketing cookies track your browsing activity across websites to help deliver content more relevant to your interests. The studio does not currently operate paid advertising campaigns, but these cookies may be set by embedded content or social sharing tools if present on the site.
No marketing cookies are actively set at this time. This toggle is provided for future transparency.
Preference Cookies
Optional
Preference cookies remember settings you have chosen, such as your display language or region. They allow the site to provide a more consistent experience on return visits.
Preference cookies are set only if this category is accepted.
3. Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to select which optional cookies you are comfortable with, then save your choices below. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be turned off here.
4. Third-Party Services
Some optional cookies are set by third-party services whose content appears on this site. These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they use data collected through their cookies.
- Google Analytics — used for anonymised website usage data (analytics cookies). Google's data practices are described at policies.google.com.
- Google Maps — used to display the studio's location on the contact page. Google may set cookies when the map is loaded.
5. How Long Cookies Last
Cookies fall into two categories by duration:
- Session cookies — exist only while your browser is open. They are removed automatically when you close the browser tab or window.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a defined period (for example, 24 hours or up to 2 years, as noted in the cookie descriptions above) or until you delete them manually.
