1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how ALTERUMSTUDIO LTD uses cookies and similar technologies on alterum.studio, which cookies are set, what each one does and how you can change your choice at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
2. What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise your browser, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. We also use local storage, a similar technology built into your browser, to remember the cookie choice you make on this site.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another company whose service we use are called third-party cookies.
3. Categories We Use
Strictly necessary. Required for the website and its basic functions to work, including remembering whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. These do not require consent.
Analytics. Help us understand which pages are read, how visitors arrive and where they leave. These are only set after you accept them.
We do not currently use advertising or marketing cookies on this website, and we do not sell or share data collected through cookies with advertising networks.
4. Cookies Used on This Website
alterum_consent — first party, browser local storage, strictly necessary. Stores whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so the banner is not shown on every page. Kept until you clear your browser data.
_ga — third party, Google Analytics, analytics. Distinguishes one visitor from another so visits can be counted correctly. Expires after two years.
_ga_TCVQ2EFEZG — third party, Google Analytics, analytics. Keeps the state of the current session and measures how long it lasts. Expires after two years.
Platform and security cookies — first party, set by our hosting and content management platform, strictly necessary. Used to deliver the site, keep it secure and process form submissions. These are session or short-lived cookies.
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited. Data collected through it is used to produce aggregated reports about website use. Further information is available in Google's own privacy documentation.
5. Consent
When you visit the site for the first time, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Until you accept, analytics runs in a restricted mode in which no analytics cookies are stored on your device and no advertising identifiers are used. This is implemented through Google Consent Mode, with analytics and advertising storage set to denied by default.
If you accept, analytics cookies are set and measurement begins. If you decline, no analytics cookies are placed and we receive only anonymous, aggregated signals that cannot identify you or your device.
Strictly necessary cookies are always active, because the site cannot function without them. This is permitted without consent under applicable law.
6. Changing Your Choice
You can change your decision at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser. The banner will then appear again on your next visit and you can choose differently.
You can also control cookies directly in your browser settings, where you can block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies that have already been stored. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working.
Google also offers a browser add-on that prevents Google Analytics from collecting data on any website you visit.
7. Third-Party Links
Our website links to external platforms, including Instagram, LinkedIn and Behance. Those platforms set their own cookies once you follow a link and leave our site. We do not control them, and their own cookie and privacy policies apply.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies on our website change or when legal requirements change. The latest version is always published on this page with the date above. If we add a new category of cookies, such as advertising cookies, we will ask for your consent again before they are used.
