Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser across visits, store functional preferences, and collect anonymised usage information. Cookies do not execute programmes and cannot carry known viruses.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are placed on the Pelantra website, why they are used, how long they persist, and what options you have for controlling them. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data collected through cookies is used and retained.

2. Cookie Categories Used on This Site

Essential / Functional Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure form submission, and the operation of the cookie consent banner itself. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate as intended.

Essential cookies do not require your consent. They are placed automatically on your first visit and cannot be disabled through the cookie banner.

Analytics cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and how long visitors spend on each page. This information helps the studio understand site performance and improve the visitor experience.

No individually identifiable data is collected through analytics cookies. Analytics data is processed in aggregate form only. These cookies are placed only if you accept analytical or all cookies through the consent banner.

These cookies remember choices you have made on the site — such as your preferred language or display settings — and provide enhanced or personalised features. They may also be used by embedded third-party features such as map embeds to store functional state.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this website are placed by third-party services embedded in the pages, rather than by Pelantra directly. These third-party services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. The cookies placed by these services remain outside Pelantra control.

Third-party services currently embedded on this website include:

  • Google Maps: Embedded on the contact page to display the studio location. Google may set functional and analytical cookies through the map embed. Google’s cookie and privacy policy is available at policies.google.com.
  • Google Fonts: Web fonts served from Google servers. Google may log the request made to its font servers. No user-level tracking cookie is set in standard font loading configurations.
  • CDN-served scripts: JavaScript libraries loaded from content delivery networks (jsDelivr, cdnjs, unpkg) for site functionality. These CDNs may log request metadata. No tracking cookies are set by these CDNs under standard configurations.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit this website, a cookie consent banner is displayed offering three options:

  • Accept All: All cookie categories are enabled, including analytics and performance cookies.
  • Preferences: Analytics and performance cookies are enabled. Essential cookies remain active.
  • Essential Only: Only essential and functional cookies are active. Analytics and performance cookies are not placed.

Your preference is stored in the pelantra_consent cookie for 12 months. After this period, the banner will reappear on your next visit. You may also change your preference at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of any page.

5. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to using the cookie consent banner on this site, you may control cookies at the browser level. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete existing cookies stored by any website.
  • Block cookies from specific websites or all websites.
  • Set your browser to notify you when a new cookie is about to be placed.

Note that blocking all cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of this website, including the operation of the contact form. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers can be found at the following links: Chrome, Firefox, Safari.

6. Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time as the website’s functionality changes or as the applicable regulatory landscape evolves. The date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision. When significant changes are made, the consent banner will be re-displayed to allow you to review your preferences.
