Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Keystone Web Studios uses cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, analytics tools, advertising technologies, and similar technologies on keystonewebstudios.com, kws.studio, and related website pages that link to this Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your browser or device. They can help websites function, remember preferences, measure traffic, understand how visitors use pages, support security, and enable analytics or advertising features.

Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, software development kits, device identifiers, and tracking technologies used by websites, analytics providers, advertising platforms, payment providers, and other service providers.

2. Why Keystone Uses Cookies

Keystone may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Operate the website.
• Support website security and performance.
• Remember settings or preferences.
• Understand website traffic and usage.
• Measure page visits, referral sources, and interactions.
• Improve website content and service information.
• Evaluate marketing performance.
• Support contact forms and related website features.
• Enable analytics through tools such as Google Analytics.
• Support future advertising, retargeting, and conversion tracking.
• Improve user experience and business communications.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. They may support functions such as page loading, security, form operation, spam prevention, session management, accessibility features, or basic website functionality.

Because these cookies are necessary for the website to function, they may be used without optional consent where permitted by law.

4. Analytics Cookies

Keystone may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website. This may include information about pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, referral sources, approximate location, device type, browser type, operating system, and usage patterns.

We may use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar technologies to collect information about website use and provide reports to us.

Analytics helps us improve the website, understand visitor needs, evaluate marketing efforts, and improve service information.

Where required by law, we will request consent before using non-essential analytics cookies.

5. Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies may help the website remember choices or improve your experience. These may include preferences, form-related features, display settings, or other convenience features.

If functionality cookies are not strictly necessary, they may be treated as optional where required by law.

6. Advertising and Retargeting Cookies

Keystone intends to use advertising, retargeting, remarketing, and conversion tracking tools in the future. These may include Google Ads, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tools.

Advertising and retargeting cookies or pixels may help us:

• Measure advertising performance.
• Understand whether visitors interact with our website after viewing or clicking an ad.
• Show relevant ads to business audiences.
• Build remarketing audiences.
• Limit repeated ads.
• Improve marketing campaigns.

These tools may allow third-party advertising platforms to collect or receive information from our website and use that information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Where required, we will request consent before placing advertising or retargeting cookies and provide opt-out choices required by applicable law.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies and similar technologies may be placed by third-party service providers. These may include analytics providers, advertising platforms, payment processors, hosting providers, embedded content providers, security tools, CRM tools, form tools, or other technology vendors.

Third-party cookies are controlled by the third party that places them. Keystone does not control all third-party cookie practices. You should review the privacy and cookie policies of those third-party providers for more information.

8. Square and Payment-Related Cookies

The website may link to Square, Square-hosted payment pages, or other third-party payment providers.

When you visit or use a third-party payment page, that payment provider may use its own cookies, security tools, fraud prevention technologies, analytics tools, and payment-related technologies.

Those cookies and technologies are governed by the payment provider’s own policies. Keystone does not control all cookies used on Square-hosted or other third-party payment pages.

9. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies. Your browser settings may let you:

• Delete existing cookies.
• Block all cookies.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Set preferences for specific websites.
• Receive alerts before cookies are placed.
• Use privacy or anti-tracking features.

Browser controls vary by browser and device. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you may need to update your settings separately.

Disabling cookies may affect website functionality, form operation, analytics, preferences, security features, or the overall user experience.

10. Analytics and Advertising Opt-Out Choices

You may be able to opt out of certain analytics or advertising cookies through:

• Your browser settings.
• Cookie banner or cookie settings tools, if displayed on the website.
• Google Analytics opt-out tools, where available.
• Google ad settings, where available.
• Meta ad preferences, where available.
• LinkedIn advertising preferences, where available.
• Industry opt-out tools for interest-based advertising, where available.

Platform-specific settings may not stop all tracking and may need to be set separately for each browser or device.

11. Cookie Consent for EU and UK Visitors

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another location that requires consent for non-essential cookies, Keystone will seek consent where required before placing non-essential analytics, advertising, retargeting, or similar cookies.

You may withdraw or change your consent where a cookie settings tool or banner is available. You may also use browser settings to block or delete cookies.

Essential cookies may still be used because they are necessary for the website to operate.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Keystone may update this Cookie Policy as its website, tools, analytics, advertising practices, payment processing, CRM practices, AI systems, vendors, or legal obligations change.

The “Last updated” date will show when this Cookie Policy was last revised.
