1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how AtWebStudios ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website (www.atwebstudios.com.au) and use our professional web design and development services. Our commitment to privacy means we only use these tools to enhance your user experience, analyze our website's performance, and ensure the security of our digital systems. We strictly adhere to transparency requirements regarding the data we collect.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognize a user's device and store some information about the user's preferences or past actions. Similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage (HTML5) perform similar functions.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
AtWebStudios uses the following categories of cookies for various critical purposes:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us custom-tailor our website for you in order to enhance your experience. We typically use tools like Google Analytics for this purpose to track metrics such as page views, time spent on site, and bounce rates across our Perth-based client portals.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like video playback or interactive contact forms) may become unavailable.
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. We may use these to showcase our latest Perth web design portfolios to interested audiences.
