Cookies Policy

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable websites to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device for a specified period of time, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than that of the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies may be used for tracking across websites, retargeting, and ad-serving.

How We Use Cookies

At Design Studio, we use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we use cookies. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. For example, these cookies help us ensure that our website displays correctly on your device and that you can navigate the site efficiently.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works. We use these cookies to understand which parts of our site are most popular, which areas need improvement, and how effectively our marketing campaigns are performing.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. We use these cookies to understand your interests based on your browsing habits, so we can tailor our marketing to be as relevant as possible to you.

Specific examples of cookies we use and their purposes include:

1. Google Analytics: This cookie helps us track website traffic and understand user behavior to improve our site's performance. It collects anonymous data such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and the duration of their visit.
2. Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are essential for website functionality and expire when you close your browser. They help maintain your session and remember your preferences during your visit.
3. Third-Party Social Media Cookies: If you interact with social media plugins on our site (e.g., like or share buttons), these cookies may be set by the social media platforms. They track your interactions and may be used to personalize your experience on those platforms.
