This page explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on studionine.agency, and what choices you have. We've kept this short on purpose.
1. What's a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text a website stores in your browser. Sites use cookies to remember things between visits — your preferences, whether you're signed in, whether you've already seen a notice, and so on. localStorage is a related browser mechanism that works similarly.
2. What we use
We use the minimum that makes the site work. Specifically:
Strictly necessary
- s9_cookie_choice_v1 — first-party. Remembers whether you've accepted or declined this banner, so we don't keep asking.
- s9_theme — first-party. Stores your theme preference (cream / dark) if you've used the toggle.
- s9_transition_v1 — first-party, session only. Marks an in-progress page transition so the new page renders smoothly. Cleared automatically.
- s9_visited_v1 — first-party, session only. Skips the preloader after your first page in a session.
Analytics
- Google Analytics 4 — third-party (Google LLC). We use GA4 to understand aggregate site usage (page views, referrers, approximate location, device class, basic engagement). GA4 sets first-party cookies including
_ga(used to distinguish users, typically expires after ~2 years) and_ga_608NXW0F79(used to persist session state, typically expires after ~2 years). A truncated IP and a pseudonymous client identifier are sent to Google. We have not enabled Google Signals, advertising features, demographics, or remarketing.
We do not run advertising pixels, social-network trackers, programmatic ads, or fingerprinting on this site. GA4 is the only third-party analytics tool we use.
3. Your choices
You can clear your browser's cookies / localStorage at any time to reset the choice and see the banner again. Most modern browsers also let you block third-party cookies altogether, run in private / "Do Not Track" modes, or block specific domains. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install Google's official Analytics Opt-out browser add-on. The strictly-necessary first-party items above are needed for the site to remember your preferences correctly.
4. Changes
We'll update this page when our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
