1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels; we refer to all of these as 'cookies' in this policy.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for core site functionality such as security and load balancing. These cannot be switched off.
- Performance cookies: help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, errors encountered) so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Functional cookies: remember choices you make, such as region or saved form state, to provide a more personalized experience.
- Marketing cookies: used only with your consent to measure campaign effectiveness and show relevant content on other platforms.
3. Managing Cookies
You can manage or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preferences banner. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us, such as analytics providers and embedded content (for example, maps). These providers process data under their own privacy policies, and we contractually require appropriate safeguards.
5. Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period — typically between 30 days and 13 months depending on their purpose — after which they expire automatically.
6. Updates and Contact
We may update this policy as our practices or regulations change; the date above reflects the latest revision. Questions about our use of cookies can be sent to privacy@messagecrafts.com.
