Cookies Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide valuable information to website operators. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Cookies serve various purposes, including remembering your preferences, analyzing how you interact with our website, and helping us improve our content and design. Without cookies, many interactive features of modern websites would not function properly.

2. How We Use Cookies

At 3D IntDesign Studio, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential Website Operations: Cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to forms, and loading of interactive content. Our website cannot operate properly without these essential cookies.
• Performance and Analytics: We use cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on each page, and any error messages encountered. This helps us analyze website performance and identify areas for improvement.
• Functional Preferences: These cookies remember choices you make, such as language preferences, region selection, or display settings, to provide enhanced, personalized features on future visits.
• Security: Cookies help us detect malicious activity, prevent fraudulent use of our contact forms, and protect the integrity of our website infrastructure.

We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or tracking across third-party websites. Your browsing activity on 3d-intdesign.com is not shared with advertising networks or used to deliver targeted advertisements.

3. Types of Cookies We Deploy

The following cookies may be placed on your device when you visit our website:

Session Cookies (Strictly Necessary): These temporary cookies exist only while you are actively browsing our website. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies enable essential functions such as form submission and navigation between pages without losing entered information.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies help us recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your preferences for future visits. We use persistent cookies primarily for performance analytics and functional preferences.

First-Party Cookies: All cookies placed on your device by our website are first-party cookies, meaning they are set and controlled by 3D IntDesign Studio. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking scripts from external marketing platforms.

Analytics Cookies: We use first-party analytics solutions to understand website traffic and user behavior. These cookies collect anonymized data such as page views, referral sources, and time spent on site. No personal information is stored in these analytics cookies.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

Below is a detailed list of the specific cookies we may place on your device, their purpose, and their retention period:

• ds_session_id: A unique identifier for your browsing session. Used to maintain continuity during form submissions and page navigation. Expires when you close your browser.
• ds_preferences: Stores your preferred display settings and interface choices. This cookie is persistent and expires after 12 months of inactivity.
• ds_analytics_uid: An anonymous, randomly generated identifier used for website usage analytics. Does not contain any personal data. Expires after 24 months.
• ds_cookie_consent: Records your acceptance of our cookies policy to prevent the consent banner from appearing on subsequent visits. Expires after 12 months.
• ds_security_token: A security measure to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and protect form submissions. Expires when your session ends.

We may update this list as our website evolves. Any changes to the specific cookies we use will be reflected in future updates to this policy.

5. Your Cookie Preferences and Controls

You have the right to accept, reject, or delete cookies at any time. Most web browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically, but you can modify your browser settings to control cookie placement. Here's how to manage cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data → Select your preferred option (Allow all cookies, Block all cookies, or Block third-party cookies).
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Choose your preferred settings (Standard, Strict, or Custom).
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data → Select "Block all cookies" or manage exceptions.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Site permissions → Cookies and site data → Select your preferred cookie blocking level.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact the functionality of our website. Without cookies, certain features such as form submissions and preference memory may not work correctly. You can also delete existing cookies from your browser's history or clear browsing data settings.

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies necessary for website operation will be placed regardless of your preference, as they are required for basic functionality.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Unlike many websites, 3D IntDesign Studio does not use third-party advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or embedded content from external platforms that would place additional cookies on your device. Our website is designed to minimize external dependencies and protect your privacy.

We do not integrate with Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar third-party analytics services. Any analytics performed on our website use first-party solutions that do not share data with external entities. When you click external links to third-party websites (such as design inspiration references), those websites may place their own cookies on your device. We have no control over third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any external sites you visit.

7. Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may revise this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our website operations. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and tracking technologies.

If we make material changes that affect how we use cookies, we may notify you through a banner on our website or via email (for clients with existing relationships). Your continued use of our website after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Cookies Policy.
