Cookie Policy
Last updated 4 September 2026
The short version: nothing is tracked unless you say yes. On your first visit we ask. If you decline — or ignore the banner — no analytics load and no tracking cookies are set. If you accept, Google Analytics tells us how many people visit and which pages they read, in aggregate. You can change your mind whenever you like.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They are commonly used to remember preferences, keep you signed in, or count visitors. Some are set by the site you are visiting; others, like ours, are set by a third-party service the site uses.
2. Cookies used on this site
Only after you accept, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic. It then sets the following cookies. Until you accept, none of these exist:
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes one visitor from another so visits can be counted without identifying anyone by name. | About 2 years |
_ga_<ID> |
Keeps track of the current session so a single visit is not counted several times. | About 2 years |
We do not set cookies for logins, shopping carts, or saved preferences, because this site does not have those features.
2.1 Remembering your choice
So we don't ask on every page, your answer is saved in your own browser under elodie-consent. This is browser storage rather than a cookie — it never leaves your device and we cannot read it from our side. Clearing your browser data resets it and we will ask again.
3. What the data is used for
Analytics data may be used to understand things like how many people visit, which pages hold attention, whether visitors arrive from search or a direct link, and whether the site works properly on phones. We use it to decide what to improve.
It is reported to us in aggregate. We do not use it to build a profile of you, and we do not combine it with the details you send through the project brief form.
4. What we do not use
We do not run advertising or retargeting pixels. There is no Meta pixel, no Google Ads remarketing tag, and no third-party advertising network on this site. Nothing here follows you around the internet.
5. How to turn cookies off
5.1 Change your mind on this site
Clear this site's data in your browser (Settings → Privacy → site data) and the banner will appear again on your next visit, letting you choose differently. Declining also removes any analytics cookies from future visits.
5.2 Opt out of Google Analytics everywhere
Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which stops Google Analytics on every site you visit, not just this one.
5.3 Use your browser settings
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Look under Settings → Privacy. You can block third-party cookies entirely, which will stop the analytics cookies above.
Blocking cookies will not break this site. Nothing here depends on them.
6. Changes to this policy
If we add a service that sets new cookies, we will list it here first. The "last updated" date at the top tells you when this version was published.
For the fuller picture of what we collect and why, see our Privacy Policy.
