The small files, and how to refuse them.
Version 1.0 · Effective 14 August 2026
01 · What a cookie is
A small file a site asks your browser to keep, so that the next page knows something about the last one. A few are necessary. Most, on most sites, are not.
02 · What we set
Two kinds only. The ones this site needs in order to work at all, and analytics that tell us which projects people actually open.
03 · Necessary
These remember your language and your cookie choice itself. The first expires when you close the browser, the second after a year. There is no way to run the site without them, so they are not offered as a choice.
04 · Analytics
These count visits and pages in aggregate. They do not know your name, and we never join them to an enquiry you have sent us. They expire after fourteen months.
05 · What we never set
Advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, and anything that follows you to another site. We sell nothing here, so we have nothing to target you with.
06 · Refusing them
Decline analytics on the banner, or block and clear cookies in your browser settings. The site works either way. If you clear your choice it will ask again, because it no longer knows what you decided.
07 · Third parties
Embedded video may set its own cookies once you press play. Those belong to the provider and are governed by their policy, not by this one.
08 · Changes
If we add or remove a cookie we update the version and the date at the top of this page.
09 · Reaching us
How we handle personal data is set out in the Privacy Policy. For anything else, write to studio@pietra.com.
10 · Your choice stands
We ask once. Until you clear it, your answer is remembered and we do not ask again on every visit.
