Cookie Policy

Everythink Design Studio ("we", "us", "our") uses a small number of cookies on everythink.qa to keep the site secure and working properly. This policy explains what they are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for a site to function; others are used for things like remembering preferences, analytics, or advertising. We keep things simple — see below for exactly what we use.

Cookies we use

We keep this to two kinds: a couple of cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work, and analytics — delivered through Google Tag Manager — which only runs once you've accepted cookies. We don't use any advertising or marketing cookies.

Strictly necessary

These are always on, since the site can't work properly without them.

grav-site — set by our content management system to maintain your session and protect our contact and enquiry forms against spam and forged submissions. Deleted automatically when you close your browser.

cookie_consent — set when you accept (or later update) the cookie notice on this site, so we know your preference. Lasts up to 12 months, or until you clear your browser's cookies.

Analytics — only with your consent

Google Tag Manager — once you accept cookies, we load Google Tag Manager, which in turn runs Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use this site: which pages people visit, how they navigate, and where we can improve. This can set cookies (typically _ga and _ga_<container-id>), which can last up to 2 years. This data is processed by Google under Google's Privacy Policy. We don't use it for advertising, and we don't sell or share it beyond Google's own processing on our behalf. If you don't accept cookies, neither Tag Manager nor Analytics loads.

Other services we load

A few pages load resources from third-party providers to make the site work and look right. These don't set cookies of their own, but they are worth mentioning for transparency, since your browser does make a request to these providers' servers:

• Google Fonts — loads the typefaces used across the site (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com).
• jsDelivr — a content delivery network we use to load a handful of open-source JavaScript libraries for smooth scrolling and animation, and — only on our Contact page — an interactive 3D globe.

How to control cookies

The two strictly necessary cookies don't have an individual toggle — turning them off would mean forms on the site stop working correctly. Analytics is different: it's entirely your choice, and it only runs if you accept. You can change your mind at any time using the button below, or block/delete any cookie through your browser's settings (usually under Privacy or Security).

Changes to this policy

If what we use ever changes, we'll update this page and, where required by law, ask for your consent first. Any changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
