Last updated: October 26, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Nick Hardy Studio ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at nickhardystudio.com (the "Website"). It also explains your choices in relation to these technologies.

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent version.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide analytics and security.

Cookies set by us are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by other companies are called “third-party cookies.”

2. Why do we use cookies?

a) Essential / functional cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to function securely and correctly. For example, they may help with security, load balancing, or remembering basic preferences. You cannot disable these cookies via normal cookie controls because they are necessary for the site to operate.

b) Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website (for example: which pages are viewed, how long people stay, and which content is useful). We use this information to maintain and improve the quality, structure, and performance of the Website.

We do not use cookies to directly identify you as a named individual.

4. Do we use targeted advertising cookies?

We do not currently serve personalized advertising or run marketing pixels that track you across other websites for ad targeting.

Some third-party services (for example, analytics or security providers) may still set their own cookies. Those cookies are controlled by those providers and are subject to their privacy policies.

5. How can you control cookies?

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can usually block cookies, remove existing cookies, or set your browser to notify you before cookies are placed.
