Cookie policy

This policy explains how 308 Studio uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read with the privacy policy. It is written with the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) in mind.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and scripts that remember a device. Some are essential to run a site; others are used for analytics or advertising and, in the UK, generally need consent first.

2. What we use today

We do not set our own analytics, advertising or social-media tracking cookies on this site. We do not run a cookie banner because we are not, at present, dropping non-essential cookies that would require PECR consent.

Strictly necessary

• Cloudflare security and delivery. Cloudflare may set cookies such as__cf_bm or similar bot-management and load-balancing cookies to keep the site available and to distinguish people from automated traffic. These are treated as strictly necessary for security and network operation. They typically last up to 30 minutes, though Cloudflare controls the exact set.
• Hosting. Cloudflare Pages may use cookies required to serve the static site and to protect it.

Local and session storage (not cookies)

If you use Sign in, we store your email, optional name and role in the browser’ssession storage so this tab can open guest or partner pages. That data stays on your device and is cleared when you close the browser or clear site data. Partner listing drafts and a local bookings list may use local storage on this device only. These are not cookies. They are needed for those tools to work on a static site without a full account API.

Third-party content

We load the Sora, Manrope and IBM Plex Mono fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). Google may process your IP address and technical data to serve the files. Google’s own policies apply to that request. We do not use Google Analytics, Google Ads or a marketing pixel.

Booking and listing forms post to our API on Cloudflare Workers. That is a server request, not a cookie we set in your browser.

3. Consent

Under PECR, strictly necessary cookies can be used without consent. Cookies used for statistics, marketing or non-essential preferences generally cannot. If we add analytics or advertising later, we will ask for consent before those cookies run, and this policy will change.

4. How you can control them

You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, and you can block third-party cookies. Blocking all cookies may stop Cloudflare security cookies from working and the site may fail to load. Clearing session storage will sign you out of the guest or partner tools.

Most browsers explain how to do this in their help pages (look for “cookies” or “clear browsing data”). You can also use browser controls for site permissions.

5. How long they last

Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies last until they expire or you delete them. Cloudflare’s bot-management cookie is typically short-lived. Session storage lasts for the browser session. Local storage lasts until you clear it.

6. Changes

If we start using non-essential cookies, we will update this page and put a consent tool on the site before those cookies are set. The “Last updated” date is the current version.
