Cookie Policy

Effective date: July, 2026

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. They can support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure performance, improve security, and help website operators understand how pages are used.

2. Types of Cookies Used

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies support core functions such as page delivery, security, form operation, fraud prevention, session management, accessibility preferences, and Shopify platform functionality. These cookies may be required for the website to operate and generally cannot be disabled through the website itself.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices such as language, region, display settings, or interface preferences. Disabling them may cause some features to operate differently or require preferences to be entered again.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics technologies may collect information about page views, traffic sources, device characteristics, navigation patterns, and errors. This information is generally used in aggregated form to evaluate site performance and improve layout, content, and usability.

Third-Party Technologies

Shopify, hosting providers, payment services, embedded media providers, security tools, or analytics providers may place or read cookies according to their own policies. The studio does not control every third-party technology used by the underlying platform.

3. Cookie Consent

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies are used only after consent. A cookie banner or preference tool may allow visitors to accept, reject, or adjust categories. Essential technologies may continue to operate because they are necessary for requested website functions.

4. Managing Cookies

Visitors can manage cookies through browser controls, device settings, or the website’s consent tool where available. Blocking all cookies may affect forms, navigation, embedded content, saved preferences, or other features. Browser instructions vary and should be reviewed for the specific browser and device.

5. Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Browser privacy signals are not interpreted uniformly across the internet. The website may not respond to every “Do Not Track” signal. Where legally required and technically supported, recognized opt-out preference signals may be honored.

6. Data Collected Through Cookies

Cookie-related information may include IP address, approximate location, browser and device type, operating system, referring source, session timestamps, pages viewed, buttons used, and technical diagnostics. This information is used for security, performance, troubleshooting, and lawful analytics purposes.

7. Retention

Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration date or until deleted through browser settings. Retention periods vary by cookie category and provider.

8. Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be revised when technologies, providers, legal requirements, or website features change. The effective date identifies the current version.

9. Cookies Used With Quote and Order Forms

Essential technologies may support form security, spam prevention, session integrity, validation, and confirmation messages. These technologies do not replace the information that a visitor intentionally enters into a project request.

10. Embedded Video and Portfolio Media

If the website later embeds video players, portfolio reels, or content hosted by a third-party media service, that provider may place cookies or receive technical information when the media loads. Visitors should review the provider’s privacy and cookie information before interacting with embedded media.

11. Analytics Limitations

Analytics information is used to evaluate website traffic and usability. It is not used to inspect private source footage, draft edits, client review comments, or files stored in the production workflow.

12. Cookie Preference Records

The website or consent provider may retain a record of the visitor’s cookie choice, including a timestamp, consent category, and technical identifier. This record may be necessary to remember and demonstrate the selected preference.

13. Changes to Providers

Cookie names, providers, and durations may change when Shopify, security systems, analytics tools, or website features are updated. The categories and purposes described in this Policy remain the primary guide to how such technologies are used.
