Cookie Policy

1. Introduction to Our Cookie Policy

Welcome to Next Page Studios. Transparency and data integrity are fundamental to our engineering philosophy. This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies when you visit our website (the "Site") or engage with our digital services.

By continuing to browse our Site, you are agreeing to our use of cookies in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies, you must configure your browser settings accordingly or refrain from using our Site.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing unique identifiers that are downloaded to your computer, smartphone, or mobile device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognize your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies can be categorized based on their lifespan and domain:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser's memory only until you close your browser. They are essential for tasks like maintaining your login session or keeping items in a shopping cart.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a pre-defined period even after you close your browser. They help us remember your preferences (like dark mode or language) for future visits.
• First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Next Page Studios when you visit our Site.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by domains other than ours, such as our analytics providers, hosting services, or advertising partners.

3. How We Use Cookies

As an AI and Technology studio, we utilize cookies not just for basic functionality, but to gather high-level analytics that allow us to refine our user interfaces and deliver a seamless digital experience. We use cookies for the following main purposes:

• Strictly Necessary Purposes: To enable core site functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of these cookies as the Site cannot function properly without them.
• Performance and Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our Site. This data helps us identify bottlenecks, optimize load times, and improve overall UX/UI design.
• Functionality: To remember choices you make (such as custom cursor settings or theme preferences) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
• Marketing and Targeting: To deliver relevant advertisements to you on other platforms and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Below is a detailed breakdown of the specific categories of cookies deployed on our Site:

5. Web Beacons and Pixel Tags

In addition to standard cookies, we may use web beacons (also known as clear GIFs, web bugs, or pixel tags) in our emails and on our Site. These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails.

We use these technologies to monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, understand if our emails have been opened, and track the journey of users from our emails to specific case studies or service pages.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some of our pages display content from external providers or utilize third-party backend services. When you interact with these services, they may set their own cookies on your device. We do not have direct control over these third-party cookies. Common third-party services we use include:

• Google Analytics: For traffic analysis and geographic demography.
• Vercel & AWS: For edge routing, caching, and server performance monitoring.
• Stripe: If interacting with payment portals for consulting deposits, Stripe uses cookies for fraud prevention.
• LinkedIn / Twitter (X): Pixel tags used to track the performance of our B2B social media campaigns.

We recommend reviewing the respective privacy and cookie policies of these third-party providers for more information on how they handle your data.

7. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. While you cannot reject Strictly Necessary cookies, you can manage your preferences for Analytics, Functional, and Marketing cookies.

Browser Controls:

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete them, or alert you when a cookie is being sent. However, if you choose to disable cookies, some portions of our Site (such as custom animations or saved preferences) may not function properly.

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data.
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.

Opt-Out Links:

To opt-out of specific third-party tracking, you can use the following links:

• To manage targeted advertising generally, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative.
