Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on quietlightfilms.com, why, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal information more broadly.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store. They let the site recognise your device, remember preferences, and, in some cases, measure how the site is used. Some are "first-party" (set by us) and some "third-party" (set by services we embed, like Calendly).
We also use a small amount of local storage to remember your cookie preferences without sending anything to a server.
2. The cookies we use
We keep this list as short as we can. Cookies fall into three categories:
- Necessary, needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. Always on.
- Functional, set when you open the Calendly booking widget so you can schedule a call.
- Analytics, anonymous, aggregated traffic statistics so we know what's helpful.
We do not use advertising cookies, social-media tracking pixels, or any tool that builds a profile of you across other websites.
