Cookie Policy

A short, plain-language note on the cookies the website uses, and the controls you have over them.

Last updated: 22 April 2026

A cookie is a small text file the site stores on your device. We've kept the list short on purpose.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small piece of text saved by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are used to remember things like which page you were last on, whether you've already accepted a banner, and — in some cases — how visitors as a group are using the site. Most cookies are harmless. Some can be used for tracking across multiple websites; those are the ones to take care over.

The cookies the studio uses

Essential cookies (always on)

These are required for the website to work. They store basic state — for example, whether you've already seen the cookie banner, and whether your session is active. They cannot be turned off through this page.

cookieConsent — stores your cookie preferences. Persistent, expires after 12 months.
session — short-lived; deleted when you close the browser.

Analytics cookies (optional)

These help us understand, in aggregate, which pages of the site are read and where readers come from. They do not identify you personally. We use them lightly, and only if you have given consent.

Set by an analytics provider, persistent, typical expiry 13 months.

Marketing cookies (optional)

These would be set by advertising or social networks if we ran paid promotion. The studio currently does not, but the toggle is provided so you can lock the preference in advance.

Preference cookies (optional)

These remember small UI preferences (language, region) so you don't need to reset them on every visit.

Third-party cookies

Where analytics or embedded content is enabled, third-party cookies may be set by the relevant provider — for example, Google Analytics for site usage reporting, or an embedded map service for the contact page. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reading.

How long cookies last

Cookies are either session cookies, deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. Persistent cookies on this site typically expire within 12 to 13 months.

Aggregate site-usage reporting. No personal identification.

Marketing

Used by advertising or social networks if enabled.

Preferences

Remember small UI choices like language or region.

Page 03 — Manage in your browser

Managing cookies in your browser

All major browsers let you block, allow, or delete cookies. The exact menu names change between versions; the steps below should still get you there.

Google Chrome

Open the menu (three dots) → Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies. From there you can block or allow cookies, set exceptions, and clear cookies for specific sites. To delete existing cookies, go to Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.

Mozilla Firefox

Open the menu → Settings → Privacy & Security. The Enhanced Tracking Protection section lets you choose Standard, Strict, or Custom. Under Cookies and Site Data you can clear cookies, manage exceptions, and choose to delete cookies when Firefox closes.

Apple Safari

On macOS: Safari → Settings → Privacy. Tick Block all cookies to refuse cookies, or use Manage Website Data to remove cookies for specific sites. On iOS: Settings app → Safari → Privacy & Security, where you can block cookies and clear history and website data.

Microsoft Edge

Open the menu → Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data. From there you can allow, block, or remove cookies, and add exceptions for specific sites. To clear existing data, go to Privacy, search, and services → Clear browsing data.

On mobile browsers, the same options are typically found under Settings → Privacy. Mobile browsers may name the menus slightly differently across iOS and Android.

Page 04 — Your Rights

Your rights and what disabling cookies means

You can withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time, either through the controls above or through your browser settings. Disabling all but essential cookies will not stop you from using the site; some preferences (like having dismissed the cookie banner) may need to be re-set on each visit.
