Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text records placed on or read from a browser or device when a website is visited. They can store a random identifier, a security token, a preference, session information, or limited details about how the website is used. Cookies do not by themselves provide direct access to files stored elsewhere on a device.

“Session” cookies normally expire when the browser is closed. “Persistent” cookies remain until their stated expiration, until the browser removes them, or until the user clears them. Some technologies perform similar functions without a traditional cookie, including local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software-development kits, and server-side logs. This Policy uses “cookies” as a convenient collective term where the distinction is not material.

First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are associated with the Framevista Edit website domain and are typically used for website operation, security, form processing, or preference storage. Third-party cookies are associated with another service whose technology is integrated into the website, such as hosting, payment, fraud prevention, analytics, embedded media, or a consent-management provider.

The website is built on ecommerce and hosting infrastructure that may place essential cookies to route traffic, maintain sessions, protect forms, remember privacy choices, and prevent abuse. When a third party independently determines how it uses information, that provider’s privacy and cookie terms also apply.

The exact cookies present can vary with browser, location, enabled site features, login state, consent choice, and vendor updates. The website’s consent interface, when displayed, reflects the categories available for the current visitor and configuration.

Strictly necessary cookies

Essential cookies support functions that are reasonably necessary to provide the website or a service requested by the visitor. They may be used to:

• route a request to the appropriate server and balance website traffic;
• maintain a secure browsing session and protect against cross-site request forgery;
• remember a privacy or cookie choice so the banner does not repeatedly ask;
• detect malicious traffic, automated submissions, fraud, and unusual access;
• preserve temporary form or navigation state;
• support checkout, invoice, or payment flows when those features are used; and
• diagnose errors and maintain website availability.

These cookies are generally active without optional consent because the website cannot reliably provide the requested function without them. A visitor can still block them through browser controls, but important features may stop working.

Functionality and preference cookies

Preference cookies remember non-essential choices that make later visits more consistent. Examples may include language, region, display settings, dismissed notices, media controls, or an incomplete form state. They are not required for the basic page to load, but disabling them may require the visitor to repeat selections.

Where law requires consent for preference cookies, they are activated only after the visitor makes the relevant choice. A consent choice can be changed later through the website’s cookie controls if those controls are available for the visitor’s location.

Performance and analytics technologies

Limited analytics may be used to understand aggregate traffic, page performance, referral sources, navigation paths, device categories, approximate region, and errors. This information helps identify broken links, slow pages, confusing navigation, and content that visitors find useful. Analytics are not used to inspect the contents of client footage or private project files.

Depending on configuration, analytics data may include an IP address, browser and device details, event times, page addresses, session identifiers, and general interaction events. Where reasonably available, settings such as IP truncation, short retention, restricted data sharing, or consent-based activation may be used to reduce collection.

Where applicable law requires opt-in consent, non-essential analytics are not activated until consent is given. Declining analytics does not prevent a visitor from reading public pages or submitting a project inquiry, although essential security logs may still be generated.

Advertising and cross-site tracking

Framevista Edit does not intentionally use website cookies to sell personal information for money. If advertising, remarketing, or cross-site measurement technologies are enabled in the future, they will be identified in the applicable consent controls and handled according to legal notice and choice requirements.

Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising broadly enough to include certain disclosures to advertising or analytics partners, even when no money is exchanged. If a current site configuration creates such a practice, eligible visitors may use the available opt-out control or contact us to exercise an applicable right.

We do not use client-submitted project footage for behavioral advertising and do not place tracking pixels inside delivered video files.

Pixels, local storage, logs, and embedded content

A page may use a pixel or tag to record that a feature loaded or an action occurred. Local or session storage may remember a setting within the browser. Server logs may record connection details for security, performance, and troubleshooting even when optional cookies are declined. These tools can be essential or optional depending on their purpose.

Embedded video, scheduling widgets, payment interfaces, social content, maps, or other third-party components may allow the provider to receive technical information when the component loads. Framevista Edit will avoid unnecessary integrations, but a provider may apply its own cookies according to its policies and the visitor’s settings. A plain external link does not itself place that destination’s cookies until the link is opened.

How long cookies remain

Cookie duration depends on function. Security and temporary state cookies may last only for the browser session or a short validation period. Consent records and preference cookies may remain longer so the website can remember a choice. Analytics identifiers, when enabled, may persist for a defined measurement period but can be removed earlier through browser or consent controls.

Providers may change cookie names and durations as their services evolve. A browser’s storage or developer settings typically show the cookies currently stored, their domain, and expiration. Clearing cookies removes stored choices and may cause the website to request consent again.

Information derived from cookies may be retained separately for security, legal, accounting, or aggregated analytics purposes as explained in the Privacy Policy. Deleting a browser cookie does not automatically delete information already included in a lawful server record.

How to control cookies

Where a cookie banner or preference panel appears, visitors can use it to accept, decline, or choose among non-essential categories. A visitor may return to that control to change a choice when the interface provides that option. A changed choice applies prospectively and may require the page to reload.

Most browsers also allow users to view, remove, block, or limit cookies for one site or all sites. Controls are usually available in privacy, security, or site-data settings. Private-browsing modes and browser extensions may apply additional restrictions. Because browser designs change, visitors should consult the help materials for the browser and device they use.

Blocking cookies at browser level can be broader than declining optional categories in a consent panel. It may also prevent the site from remembering that optional cookies were declined.

Global Privacy Control and browser signals

Some browsers and extensions transmit privacy preference signals, including Global Privacy Control. Where an applicable law requires recognition and the site’s technology can detect the signal, it will be treated as an opt-out for the covered browser or device. Because the signal is device- and browser-specific, it may not apply to another device or a visitor who later clears settings.

Older “Do Not Track” signals have not been interpreted consistently across the industry. We do not treat an unsupported signal as consent to optional cookies. Visitors should use the displayed consent controls or contact us for an applicable privacy request.

What happens when cookies are disabled

Declining optional analytics or preference cookies should not prevent access to ordinary public content. Some convenience features may be less consistent, and the website may be less able to diagnose performance issues. Blocking essential cookies can interfere with security validation, project forms, saved choices, checkout, payment pages, or other requested functions.

If a form fails after broad blocking is enabled, the visitor may contact us using the plain-text details below. Do not lower browser security for unrelated websites merely to troubleshoot this site.

Changes to cookie use

We may update this Policy when website features, providers, consent rules, or legal obligations change. The version posted on this page applies when published unless a different effective date is expressly stated. If a change requires fresh consent, the website may display the consent interface again.

This Cookie Policy supplements the Privacy Policy, which explains broader collection, use, disclosure, retention, security, and privacy-right practices.
