5. Cookies, Pixels, and Tracking Technologies

We use a limited number of cookies and similar technologies on the Website. We describe each category below, including whether it is essential or non-essential, what data it collects, and how to control it.

5.1 Essential cookies.

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and to provide basic security. They include a session cookie ("crumb") used by our website platform to prevent cross-site request forgery, and cookies necessary to verify that form submissions are not automated. Essential cookies do not require your consent.

5.2 Analytics cookies.

We use Google Analytics 4 (operated by Google LLC) to understand aggregate traffic patterns on the Website. Analytics cookies are non-essential and are placed on your device only if you click "Accept" on our cookie consent banner. We have configured Google Analytics to disable Google Signals (cross-device tracking and advertising audience features), and we have disabled ads personalization for all regions. Google Analytics receives a truncated form of your IP address, the pages you view, the approximate duration of your visit, and similar usage information. We use this information only in aggregate form to understand Website performance.

5.3 Form security technologies.

Our website platform (Squarespace, Inc.) deploys Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise on certain pages that contain contact or scheduling forms. reCAPTCHA helps prevent automated spam submissions by analyzing visitor behavior for signs of bot activity. reCAPTCHA may set cookies and transmit limited usage information to Google for the sole purpose of distinguishing human visitors from automated traffic. We consider this an essential security function of the Website.

5.4 Technologies we do NOT use.

For the avoidance of doubt, we do not deploy on the Website: the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Meta Custom Audiences, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, Microsoft (Bing) UET, Pinterest Tag, X (Twitter) Pixel, CallRail or other call tracking pixels, session replay tools such as FullStory, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, or Mouseflow, or any cross-site behavioral advertising or retargeting technologies. We do not install pen registers, trap and trace devices, or any other electronic surveillance technology on visitor devices, and we have not obtained or sought any court order authorizing such installations.

5.5 Your consent and your choices.

When you first visit the Website, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Non-essential cookies are not placed on your device until you click "Accept." You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Preferences" link in the Website footer. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings; instructions for doing so are available in your browser's help documentation.

We respond to Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported by our website platform. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat that signal as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising — although, as described above, we do not engage in either practice. We do not honor browser "Do Not Track" signals because no consistent industry standard governs how they should be interpreted.

6. How We Share Personal Information
