Cookie Notice
Every cookie we set, what it does, and how long it lasts. There are only a few, and they all exist to keep you logged in.
Last updated August 12, 2026 · Effective August 12, 2026
The short version: Studio Visibility uses strictly necessary cookies only. They keep you signed in and keep the site secure. We run no advertising and no cross-site tracking, and we do not sell or share your information. We do measure aggregate site traffic (which pages get visited, roughly how many people), but that measurement sets no cookie and stores no persistent identifier — see Aggregate traffic analytics below. What follows is the full list, cookie by cookie.
2. Our approach: strictly necessary only
Studio Visibility sets strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use advertising, profiling, or social-media cookies, and we do not allow third parties to track you across other websites through our site. We do measure aggregate site traffic, but that measurement is cookieless — see Aggregate traffic analytics.
"Strictly necessary" has a specific meaning: the cookie is required to deliver a service you actively asked for. Ours exist to sign you in and keep you signed in securely, and to keep the site working and safe. Without them you could not log in or stay logged in, and pages behind the login would not work at all.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary, EU and UK law (the ePrivacy Directive as implemented, including the UK's PECR) does not require us to ask for your consent before setting them — but it does require us to tell you clearly what they are, which is what this page does. The small banner at the bottom of our site is an informational notice, not a consent request: dismissing it accepts nothing, and there is no "reject" button because there is nothing optional to reject. If we ever add a cookie-based analytics or advertising tool, that changes — see If we add cookie-based analytics or advertising.
4. Aggregate traffic analytics
We measure basic site traffic — which pages get visited, roughly how many people visit, and which sites send us referrals — so we know what's working. We built this to set no cookie and no persistent identifier, rather than adding a third-party analytics script, because a script like that typically means a new cookie and a new company receiving data about your visit.
Specifically, when you load a page, your browser reports:
- the page path (for example
/pricing), never the full URL with query parameters; - the referring site's domain, if you arrived by a link (not the specific page you came from);
- campaign tags if your link included them (
utm_source,utm_medium,utm_campaign); - a coarse device category (mobile, tablet, or desktop);
- whether you were signed in at the time.
To count unique visitors without a cookie, our server computes a one-way hash of your IP address and browser type, combined with a secret value that changes every day at midnight UTC. That hash is what gets stored — never the IP address itself. Because the secret changes daily, the same visitor produces an unrelated, unrecoverable hash each day: there is no record linking one day's visit to the next, and nothing here can be reversed back to your IP address. This means "unique visitors" is really unique visitors per day — the closest we can get to a real count without tracking anyone.
We honor Global Privacy Control and the browser's Do Not Track setting: if either is present, no traffic data is sent or recorded for that visit, full stop. This measurement never runs on pages inside /admin, is never combined with advertising or profiling of any kind, is never sold or shared with anyone, and is visible only to us, internally, as aggregate counts — never as a list of individual visits or visitors.
5. What we do not use
To be explicit, Studio Visibility currently sets no:
- cookies or persistent identifiers for analytics (our traffic measurement above sets none — see Aggregate traffic analytics) — and no third-party analytics like Google Analytics;
- advertising, retargeting, or conversion-tracking cookies or pixels;
- social-media cookies or embedded social widgets;
- session-recording, heatmap, or A/B-testing cookies;
- fingerprinting or cross-site tracking of any kind.
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not process personal information for targeted advertising under other US state privacy laws.
6. If we add cookie-based analytics or advertising
Our aggregate traffic analytics (above) set no cookie today, and we intend to keep it that way. If we ever do add a cookie-based analytics, advertising, or tracking tool:
- we will update this page first, with the specific provider, cookie names, purposes, and lifespans;
- for visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland — and anywhere else consent is required — we will ask for your opt-in consent before any non-essential cookie is set, offer "reject all" as prominently as "accept all," and let you change or withdraw your choice at any time from this page;
- for visitors in US states with opt-out rights, we will honor opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control;
- we will never make access to the Service conditional on accepting it.
Until that notice appears here, nothing but the strictly necessary cookies listed above is being set.
8. Changes to this notice
We will update this page whenever the cookies we use change, and we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will tell you before they are set rather than after.
This notice supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains everything else we do with personal information.
