This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to keep things clear and straightforward.

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a notice — so that the site can work more smoothly on subsequent visits.
Cookies cannot execute programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to your browser and can only be read by the web server that placed them.
We use cookies on this website for a small number of purposes. Our aim is to use as few as necessary and to give you control over those that are not strictly needed for the site to function.
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, track your activity across other websites, or sell data to third parties.
The following table describes the cookies and similar technologies currently in use on this website.
| Name / Key | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Essential | Stores your response to the cookie consent notice so it does not appear on every page. | 12 months |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors and generates statistical reports on website usage. No personally identifiable information is stored. | 14 months |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics — maintains session state for measurement purposes. | 14 months |
| _gcl_au | Analytics | Google Ads conversion linker — helps attribute enquiry form submissions to the advertising channel that brought the visitor, if applicable. | 3 months |
| _fbp | Marketing | Meta (Facebook) Pixel — helps measure the effectiveness of advertising shown on Meta platforms by tracking visits from those platforms. Only active if you have accepted marketing cookies. | 3 months |
We use localStorage (a browser storage mechanism similar in purpose to cookies but stored locally on your device) to remember your cookie consent preference. This data does not leave your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Essential cookies are needed for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include things like your cookie consent record. They do not gather information that could be used for marketing.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and how they navigate. This information is collected in aggregate and does not identify individual visitors. We use this to improve the website over time.
Marketing cookies are used to track visits from advertising platforms and to measure how well our advertising performs. We only place these where you have agreed to them.
When you first visit this website, a notice appears at the bottom of the page inviting you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser and applied on subsequent visits.
If you would like to change your preference, you can do so at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and visiting the site again, which will cause the consent notice to reappear. Instructions for doing this vary by browser; most browsers offer this option under Settings → Privacy or History.
You may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the way some parts of the website work.
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include:
We do not control these third-party services and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
Our home page includes an embedded Google Maps frame to help visitors find the studio. When this map loads, Google may set its own cookies on your device in accordance with its own cookie and privacy policies. This feature is loaded regardless of your cookie preference, as it is considered a functional part of the contact section.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as regulations evolve. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. We recommend checking back occasionally if you have a particular interest in how we use cookies.
If you have questions about how we use cookies, we are happy to help.
