This Cookie Policy explains how Unik Studio uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. By continuing to browse our site, you consent to non-essential cookies where required by law and where you have not disabled them through your browser or preference tools.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser, remember preferences, and collect information about how pages are used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and software development kits embedded in third-party scripts.
Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them). First-party cookies are set by Unik Studio; third-party cookies are set by external services we use for analytics, fonts, content delivery, or embedded media.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies and similar tools to:
- Enable core website functions such as page navigation, form submission, and load balancing.
- Maintain security, including cross-site request forgery protection and session integrity for authenticated areas.
- Remember choices you make, such as dismissing notices, where implemented.
- Understand how visitors discover and use our site so we can improve content and performance.
- Measure marketing effectiveness when we run campaigns, subject to your consent where required.
- Deliver embedded content such as videos or maps when those features are enabled on a page.
We aim to minimise data collection and configure third-party tools to reduce identifying information where product settings allow.
3. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate. They support security features, network management, and accessibility of authenticated client or studio areas. Because they are essential, they cannot be switched off through our site controls, though you may block them in your browser at the risk of breaking functionality.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember settings that enhance your experience, such as language preferences or UI state. If disabled, some personalised features may not work as expected.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand traffic patterns, popular pages, error rates, and device types. Data is typically aggregated. We use this information to refine layouts, fix broken links, and prioritise content that helps couples and event planners make decisions.
Marketing cookies
Where we use advertising or remarketing pixels, marketing cookies may track visits across sites to show relevant ads. We deploy these only when aligned with our marketing plans and applicable consent requirements. You may opt out through industry tools or browser settings.
4. Examples of technologies on our site
The exact cookies present may change as we update our website stack. The following describes typical categories you may encounter:
- Application session cookies: Issued by our Laravel application to maintain secure sessions, flash messages, and form tokens when you submit enquiries or log into client areas.
- Font and asset delivery: Content delivery networks or font providers may set cookies or collect IP addresses to serve typography and static files efficiently.
- Animation and media scripts: Libraries loaded to support scroll animations or video players may store lightweight state in the browser.
- Payment widgets: If you pay an invoice online through a gateway, that provider may set cookies to complete fraud checks and process transactions.
- Embedded maps or social feeds: When enabled, third-party embeds may set their own cookies governed by the respective platform policies.
We periodically review scripts and remove those that are no longer necessary.
5. Consent and control
Where Indian law or other applicable regulations require consent for non-essential cookies, we request consent through a banner or settings panel when implemented. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies, adjusting browser settings, or using on-site preference controls if available.
Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being set. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Blocking all cookies may prevent you from using certain features, including secure login and multi-step forms.
Mobile devices may offer advertising identifiers that you can reset in system settings. These identifiers are separate from browser cookies but serve similar marketing purposes on apps.
6. Browser-specific guidance
You can manage cookies in popular browsers via privacy or security settings. Look for sections labelled "Cookies", "Site data", or "Tracking prevention." After changing settings, you may need to reload pages or sign in again. Because cookie names and durations change with software updates, we do not publish a static table that could quickly become outdated; instead, use your browser's developer tools to inspect cookies active on a given page if you need technical detail.
7. Do Not Track and global privacy controls
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Industry standards for responding to these signals are not uniform. We currently do not alter our practices solely in response to DNT headers, but we honour applicable legal opt-out rights and consent choices you express through compliant mechanisms.
Where global privacy control signals become legally recognised in jurisdictions we serve, we will configure our consent tools to respect them as required.
8. Third-party responsibility
Third parties that set cookies through our site are responsible for their own compliance obligations. We select vendors with reasonable security and privacy practices and limit data sharing to what is needed for their services. We encourage you to review privacy policies for major providers linked from our site.
We are not responsible for cookies placed by external websites you reach through links on our pages.
9. How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period—commonly from a few days to thirteen months for analytics—or until manually deleted. Retention periods depend on the cookie's purpose and vendor documentation. We configure analytics retention windows toward the shorter end of available options where settings exist.
10. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when we add features, change analytics providers, or when laws evolve. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, except where further consent is legally required.
11. Cookies in client and studio areas
Authenticated areas such as client galleries or studio dashboards rely on session cookies to keep you signed in, protect against cross-site request forgery, and remember navigation context while you work. These cookies are strictly necessary for security and are not used for advertising. If you share a device, sign out when finished and avoid saving passwords in public browsers. We may log IP addresses and timestamps associated with logins to detect suspicious activity and to comply with audit requirements.
Session timeouts may apply after periods of inactivity. Clearing cookies while logged in will end your session and require you to authenticate again.
