Our Cookie Policy
A transparent look at the small files we use to improve your experience on framaro.cc. We believe in clarity over confusion, and your privacy is a non-negotiable priority.
Stated Intent
No hidden tracking. Just better tools.
A Studio’s Perspective on Data
At Framaro, we design interfaces that feel human. That philosophy extends to how we handle your data. We use cookies not as a marketing engine, but as a studio notebook—remembering your preferences so the next visit feels familiar and effortless, like picking up a project where you left off.
This policy isn't legal boilerplate. It's a contract of intent. We categorize every cookie into clear purposes: essential site function, optional analytics for improving our craft, and zero third-party data sales. We use local frameworks like Figma and Webflow to build, and your data stays within the ecosystem of framaro.cc—never sold or traded.
Our Core Principle:
If a cookie doesn't serve a direct user experience or a legitimate operational need, it doesn't exist on our site.
Cookie Categories in Practice
We use a minimal set of cookies, categorized by function. You can manage your preferences at any time via the cookie banner or your browser settings.
Essential Cookies
Required for the site to function. They enable security, network management, and save your cookie consent preference.
Performance & Analytics
Helps us understand how visitors interact with our site. We use anonymized, aggregated data via our own analytics to improve navigation and page load speed.
Third-Party
We do not use any third-party tracking cookies, social media widgets that share data, or advertising pixels on framaro.cc.
The Reality of Minimal Tracking
Trade-off: Depth of Analytics vs. Privacy
We see less granular user behavior data. Mitigation: We use session recordings and heatmaps only on a 1% random sample of sessions, and only after explicit consent.
Trade-off: Speed vs. Persistence
Storing user preferences locally means less network request lag. Mitigation: We set short lifespans (24h for analytics) and never persist PII in cookies.
Trade-off: No Third-Party Ads vs. Revenue
We do not serve targeted ads. Mitigation: This is a cost of doing business. Our site is a portfolio, not an ad network.
Questions to Ask Any Studio
1. Do you use third-party cookies for analytics or advertising?
We do not. All analytics are first-party and anonymized.
2. Can users easily opt-out of non-essential cookies?
Yes. Our banner provides granular choices, and users can revisit anytime.
3. How do you protect data in transit?
All traffic is secured with SSL (HTTPS), and cookies are marked Secure and HttpOnly.
4. Is my data sold or shared?
Never. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties.
5. What's your data retention policy?
Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized; specific cookie data is retained only as long as the user session persists or consent is active.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Many studios treat compliance as an afterthought, leading to broken user trust. Here are common mistakes we actively avoid.
Mistake: The 'Implicit' Consent Banner
A banner that says 'By continuing to use this site...' with no real choice. This is not valid consent under GDPR.
Our Approach: A clear, balanced choice: 'Accept All' or 'Customize Settings'. No dark patterns.
Mistake: Hiding Behind Generic Policies
Using a copied template with no reference to the site's actual tech stack or business model.
Our Approach: This page is specific to framaro.cc. We name our tools, purposes, and contact methods.
Mistake: Forgetting About Third-Party Scripts
Embedding a Google Map, social feed, or analytics tag without a corresponding cookie disclosure.
Our Approach: We audit every third-party request. This site does not use them, except for the Google Maps embed on the Contact page, which we disclose separately.
Mistake: No Easy User Control
Buried settings or a 'cookie wall' that blocks access entirely if users say no.
Our Approach: You can change your cookie preferences at any time from the footer link. Essential cookies are always active, but never cross-site.
Your Control is Central
The web should feel safe and intuitive. Your data choices should be clear and immediate. If you have questions about this policy or how we handle data, our team is ready to answer.
