Web & Digital Design
Cookie Policy
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and — where you consent — help us understand how the site is used.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we handle personal data.
Types of cookies we use
Necessary cookies
Essential for the website to function — for example, maintaining your session or remembering items in your cart during checkout on our Easy Digital Downloads store. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent, but we disclose them here for transparency.
Functional cookies
Remember choices you make (such as display preferences) to provide a more personalised experience. Not strictly necessary — we only set these with your consent.
Analytics cookies
Where enabled, these help us understand aggregated visitor behaviour — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, how they navigate the site — so we can improve it. Set only after you consent via our cookie banner (e.g. Google Analytics, once activated).
Marketing cookies
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes in future, this Policy will be updated in advance, and such cookies will only be set with your explicit consent.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded in the website, such as Google (Search Console, and Analytics once enabled) or our payment gateway during checkout. These providers may set cookies subject to their own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

This table is updated whenever a new cookie-setting service (e.g. Google Analytics) is activated, prior to activation where consent is required.
Managing your preferences
Cookie consent banner
On your first visit, our cookie banner lets you Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or open Cookie Settings to choose categories individually. Necessary cookies cannot be rejected, since the website cannot function correctly without them.
You can review or change your cookie choices at any time — no need to wait for the banner to reappear.
Browser settings
Independently of our cookie banner, most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies through their settings menu. Blocking all cookies may affect functionality, including the shopping cart on our e-store.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes — for example, when Google Analytics is activated. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above, and where new non-essential cookies are introduced, we will prompt you to review your consent choices again.
