Cookies Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sixty Five Design (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on sixtyfivedesign.com (the “Site”), why we use them, and the choices available to you regarding our use of these technologies. This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional detail about how we collect, use, and protect personal information generally.

By continuing to browse or use the Site, you agree that we can place cookies and similar technologies on your device in accordance with this Cookie Policy, except where we are required to obtain your prior consent, in which case any cookie banner or consent tool presented on the Site will govern.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and remember your preferences and settings.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Sixty Five Design) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Site, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

In addition to cookies, we and our third-party partners may use other, similar technologies from time to time, including:

Web beacons (or “pixel tags”): small graphic images placed on a web page or in an email that are used to monitor behavior, such as whether a page was visited or an email was opened;
Local storage objects: data stored locally by your browser that allows information to be saved and retrieved, even after a browser is closed and reopened;
Software development kits (“SDKs”): pieces of code that may be incorporated into mobile applications to enable similar data collection functionality.

For simplicity, this Cookie Policy refers to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies” unless otherwise noted.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

The specific cookies served on the Site may change from time to time, but generally fall into the following categories:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a request for services, such as submitting a form, setting your privacy preferences, logging into a secure area, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site will then not function as intended. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for the relevant function.

Examples of strictly necessary cookies include those that:

Enable core site navigation and page-to-page session continuity;
Support secure submission of intake and contact forms;
Help distribute network load across servers and balance traffic; and
Detect and prevent fraudulent form submissions or abusive automated activity.

2.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve the performance of the Site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the Site, and identify technical issues such as broken links or slow-loading pages. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous unless we are required to identify individual users for security or fraud-prevention purposes.

2.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Site to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering choices you make (for example, your preferred language, region, or form progress) so that we can provide you with a more personalized experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

2.4 Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through the Site by us or by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising, though you will still see advertising generally.

2.5 Social Media Cookies

These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the Site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks, such as social media “share” or “like” buttons. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building a profile of your interests, which may affect content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

Summary of cookie categories:

Strictly Necessary — Site security, form submission, fraud prevention, load balancing. Typical duration: session to 24 hours.
Performance & Analytics — Usage statistics, traffic analysis, error detection. Typical duration: up to 2 years.
Functionality — Preference memory, form progress, UI personalization. Typical duration: up to 1 year.
Targeting & Advertising — Ad personalization, retargeting, campaign measurement, frequency capping. Typical duration: up to 13 months.
Social Media — Content sharing, cross-site interest profiling by social platforms. Typical duration: varies by platform; governed by the platform’s own policy.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as website analytics providers, advertising and retargeting networks, content delivery networks, and embedded content providers (for example, embedded videos or maps). We do not control the placement of these cookies and generally do not have direct access to the data collected by these third parties; their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

Categories of third-party services that may set cookies through the Site include:

Web analytics providers, which help us understand how visitors use the Site;
Advertising and retargeting networks, which help deliver and measure the performance of online advertisements;
Customer communication and chat tools, which may use cookies to maintain chat sessions; and
Social media platforms, whose embedded buttons or widgets may set cookies as described in Section 2.5 above.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties for more information about their specific data practices and any choices they may offer.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in several ways:

Cookie consent tools: Adjusting your cookie consent choices through any cookie banner, preference center, or consent management tool presented on the Site;
Browser controls: Setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set, as described in Section 5 below;
Industry opt-out tools: Using opt-out mechanisms provided by advertising industry organizations, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page, which allow you to opt out of receiving targeted advertising from participating companies;
Mobile device settings: If you access the Site through a mobile application or mobile browser, you may also be able to use your device’s privacy settings to limit certain types of tracking, such as advertising identifiers.

If you choose to reject or later delete cookies, you may still use the Site; however, your access to certain features, personalization, and functionality may be limited, and you may need to re-enter information or re-select preferences more frequently.

Please note that if you have multiple browsers or devices, you will need to set your cookie preferences separately for each one.

5. Browser-Specific Instructions

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. General instructions for common browsers are below, though menu names and locations may change over time:

Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari (macOS): Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Safari (iOS): Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Android Chrome: Settings → Site Settings → Cookies

Please consult your specific browser’s help documentation for the most current instructions, as browser providers frequently update their settings menus and the options available to you.

6. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), a signal that communicates a user’s preference to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and certain targeted advertising. Where legally required, we will honor a recognized and valid GPC signal as a valid request to opt out of applicable cookie-based sharing for the browser and device from which the signal is sent. Because a GPC signal applies only to the specific browser and device sending it, you may need to enable it separately on each browser and device you use.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal that lets you indicate your preference not to be tracked across the websites you visit. Because there is not yet a uniform, industry-accepted standard for how online services should interpret and respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently change its data collection or use practices in response to a detected DNT signal, separate and apart from our handling of GPC signals described in Section 6. We will update this policy if our practices change.

8. Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you disable or decline cookies through your browser or device settings, certain features of the Site may not function as intended. For example, you may need to re-enter information you have already provided, certain personalized content may not display correctly, and some interactive features, including portions of intake or contact forms, may not work properly. Strictly necessary cookies, described in Section 2.1, cannot be disabled without affecting the basic operability of the Site.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable regulation, the cookies and similar technologies we use, or our business practices generally. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date at the top of this document. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed of any changes.
