Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work properly, to remember your preferences, or to understand how visitors use the site. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies on this website (operated by Liz Zeta / SoftSyntax) and how you can control them.

Cookies we use

We use cookies in the following ways:

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the website to function. They may include cookies that remember your choices (for example, menu state or page transitions) so that the site works as intended. We do not need your consent for these under applicable law because they are strictly necessary.

Functional cookies

These may store preferences (such as language or layout) to improve your experience. If we use any in the future, we will describe them here and, where required, ask for your consent.

Analytics cookies

We do not currently use analytics cookies on this website. If we introduce analytics (for example, to understand how many people visit the site or which pages are most viewed), we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required by law, obtain your consent before using such cookies.

Third-party cookies

Some parts of our site rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Formspree: Our contact form is powered by Formspree. When you submit the form, Formspree may set or use cookies in line with their own policy. You can read more at Formspree’s privacy policy.
• Google Maps: The Contact page may embed a Google Map. Google may set cookies when the map is loaded. Their use of cookies is described in Google’s Privacy Policy and related cookie information.

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective providers’ policies for details.

Duration

Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them). The strictly necessary cookies we use are typically session-based or short-lived so that the site works correctly during your visit.

Your choices

You can control and/or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. For more information, see for example allaboutcookies.org or your browser’s help section. Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works (for example, menu or navigation behaviour).

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. The current version will always be available on this page. We will indicate the date of the last update below. For more on how we handle your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
