What exactly are cookies?
Sadly, these aren’t gooey, delicious baked goods. We’re actually talking about small text files stored on your computer or mobile phone.
Cookies act like a ‘memo’ for the website — storing your settings so the website recognizes you when you come back. This helps it behave like something you’ve visited before - filling in your preferences, for example.
Cookies can store a bunch of different information, including personally identifiable stuff like your name and email address. They can only store information you’ve shared with us (through a form, for instance).
Our website can’t access that information — or any other files — from your computer or mobile phone.
What types of cookies are we using?
We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly. For example, they help with navigation, security, and providing access to certain features. Without these cookies, some parts of the site won’t work as intended.
- Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies track the performance of the website. They help us understand how visitors interact with our site, which pages are popular, and what links are clicked the most. This helps us improve our website experience for everyone.
- The data collected by these cookies is anonymous unless you’ve previously signed up to our mailing list or commented on a blog post. In that case, the cookies may also remember some inferred data points like location and referrals.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our site. This includes information like your IP address, pages visited, and traffic sources. Google Analytics is configured to anonymize IP addresses, ensuring no personally identifiable information is stored.
Third-Party Cookies for Website Functionality
Some third-party tools we use also rely on cookies to provide functionality:
- Adobe Fonts: Adobe Fonts uses your IP address to deliver and display the correct fonts on our website. No tracking or further data processing occurs. For more details, see the Adobe Fonts Privacy Policy.
What types of cookies are we definitely not using?
We don’t use advertising cookies or any third-party advertising cookies. We don’t advertise services other than our own, we also don’t buy or receive data from third parties. But if this changes in the future, we’ll update this policy to reflect that.
How long do cookies last?
Cookies can have different lifespans:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
For a detailed breakdown of specific cookies used, their purposes, and their duration, see our Cookie Table below:
