What Are Cookies Anyway

Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit websites. They're not programs and can't carry viruses. Think of them as digital breadcrumbs that help websites remember things about your visit.

We use cookies to make our site work properly and to understand how people interact with our content. Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around for a while to remember your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

Why We Need Them

Cookies serve practical purposes that benefit both you and us. Here's what they actually do on our site:

• Keep you logged in when you access project dashboards or consultation areas
• Remember your communication preferences so we can follow up appropriately
• Track which service pages get the most attention to refine our offerings
• Understand user flow patterns to spot confusing navigation issues
• Measure the effectiveness of our content and service descriptions
• Prevent spam and maintain security across form submissions

How Long Cookies Stay Active

Different cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose.

Session Cookies

These temporary cookies vanish when you close your browser. They help maintain your activity during a single visit but don't track you beyond that session.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They might remember your preferences for weeks or months, making return visits smoother.

We regularly review and clean up old cookie data. Most of our persistent cookies expire within 12 months, though some functional cookies may last up to 2 years to maintain long-term preferences.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site come from external services we use. Analytics platforms, communication tools, and embedded content may set their own cookies.

We carefully select third-party services that respect user privacy. However, these providers have their own cookie policies that govern how they handle data. We recommend reviewing their policies if you have concerns about specific services.

Common third-party cookies you might encounter include those from analytics providers, video hosting platforms, and business communication tools we've integrated into our site.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies will affect site functionality. You might not be able to access certain features or submit contact forms if you disable all cookies.

Mobile Devices and Apps

Mobile browsers handle cookies similarly to desktop browsers, but the settings locations differ. On iOS devices, check Safari settings in your main Settings app. Android users can adjust cookie preferences within their browser app settings.

If we develop a mobile application in the future, it may use similar tracking technologies. Any app-specific data collection would be clearly disclosed within the app itself and in updated policy documentation.

Updates to This Policy

We review and update this cookie policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.

For major changes that affect how we collect or use data, we may notify visitors through a banner on our site or via email if you've provided contact information.
