Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 May 2025 · Effective: 10 May 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have seen a particular notice — so that the site can work as expected and provide a more consistent experience.
Some cookies are set directly by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by third-party services embedded in the site — for example, analytics tools or map embeds. This policy covers both types as they apply to the Pendora website.
2. How We Use Cookies
The Pendora website uses cookies for three purposes: to allow the site to function correctly, to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate, and to remember your preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking, or to build profiles of individual visitors.
A cookie banner is displayed on your first visit. Your choice — whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies — is stored in your browser's local storage and applied on subsequent visits. You may change your preference at any time using the controls described in Section 5.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the site to operate. They cannot be declined. Without them, parts of the site — such as the contact form or the map embed — may not function as intended.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| pendora_session | Maintains session continuity for form interactions | Session |
| pendora_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference so the banner is not shown again | 12 months |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the site — which pages are visited most, how long visitors spend on particular sections, and what paths they take. This information is reviewed in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors for aggregate reporting | 24 months |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics — stores session state for visit-level reporting | 24 months |
Third-Party Cookies
The Pendora website embeds a Google Maps iframe to display the studio's location. When you view this embed, Google may set cookies or collect data in accordance with its own policies. We do not control these cookies. If you prefer not to interact with the Google Maps embed, you may view the studio's address directly or search for it using a map service of your preference.
| Provider | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Displays location map; Google may set cookies in connection with map rendering | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google Fonts | Serves web fonts; Google may log the request in accordance with its policies | Google Privacy Policy |
4. Cookies We Do Not Use
For clarity, the Pendora website does not use:
- Advertising or remarketing cookies of any kind
- Social media tracking pixels
- Cookies that build profiles of individual visitors for commercial purposes
- Any cookies that collect sensitive personal data
5. Managing Your Preferences
You may change your cookie preference at any time in the following ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Blocking all cookies may affect how some pages of this site display or function.
- Clearing local storage: Your cookie consent preference is stored in your browser's local storage under the key pendora_consent. Clearing your browser's local storage will reset your preference and cause the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.
- Google Analytics opt-out: Google offers a browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics tracking, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you have questions about cookies or your preferences, please contact us at [email protected].
6. Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when we change how cookies are used on the site. Any changes will be posted here with a revised effective date. For significant changes, we will update the consent banner so returning visitors are informed.
