Cookie Policy

A plain-language account of the cookies ij.agency actually uses, what each one does, and how to control them.

01What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixels — work the same way. They let a site remember information between page loads, keep sessions secure, and measure how pages perform. This policy covers cookies and similar technologies used on ij.agency.

02Why We Use Cookies

We use a deliberately small set of cookies, and only to:

  • Keep the website functioning and secure
  • Protect our forms from spam and automated abuse
  • Remember basic preferences during your visit
  • Measure aggregate traffic and page performance

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or profile building, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.

03Essential Cookies

These are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off through our site. They support:

  • Page routing and secure delivery of the website
  • Form security and bot protection through Cloudflare Turnstile, which verifies that a submission comes from a person
  • Basic load balancing and abuse prevention by our infrastructure providers

Blocking these will break forms and parts of the site.

04Functional Cookies

Functional storage remembers small preferences and interface state — for example, whether you have already opened the site assistant, and information entered in a form so it is not lost while you navigate. This information stays on your device and is used only to improve your experience on this site.

05Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are useful and where the site can be improved. We use:

  • Google Analytics 4 — aggregate traffic, page views, and referral sources
  • Microsoft Clarity — anonymized interaction and performance diagnostics, such as scroll depth and page errors

These tools are configured for measurement only. We do not use them to identify individual visitors or to serve advertising.

06Third-Party Cookies

Some services embedded in or supporting the website may set their own cookies under their own policies:

  • Google Maps — the embedded map on our contact page
  • Cloudflare — security and bot protection on forms
  • Stripe — fraud prevention and secure checkout when you make a payment
  • Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity — as described above

We do not control third-party cookies. Review each provider's cookie and privacy policy for details.

08Browser Controls

Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies from its privacy or security settings:

  • Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
  • Safari — Settings → Privacy
  • Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
  • Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Most browsers also support "Do Not Track" or global privacy control signals, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

09Changes

We will update this policy if the cookies or tools we use change. The "Effective date" and "Last updated" fields above will reflect the revision. For how cookie data fits into our broader handling of information, see our Privacy Policy.
