Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Storey ("we", "us", or "our") is a contemporary residential architecture studio based in the United Kingdom.

This cookie policy explains the limited use of cookies and similar technologies when you visit storey.co.uk (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our privacy policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

We do not use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies for analytics, advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking. Website usage is measured through a separate cookieless analytics service, described in section 4.

For more information about how we collect and use personal data, please see our privacy policy.

2. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to help websites function, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use a site.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, and server logs, may also be used for comparable purposes. In this policy, we use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and these related technologies where relevant.

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies sparingly. Our Website is designed to provide information about our studio, projects, and services without relying on tracking, advertising, or cross-site profiling technologies.

We do not set analytics, marketing, or functional cookies on your device. Where cookies are used, they are generally limited to what is needed to deliver the Website securely, maintain performance, and support basic functionality through our hosting and infrastructure providers.

4. Cookieless analytics

To understand how the Website is used and to improve its reliability, we use Measured, a privacy-focused analytics service. Measured does not use cookies or local storage for tracking.

Measured collects limited technical information such as pages visited, referrer information, device and browser type, approximate location, and timestamps of visits and interactions. It does not collect names, email addresses, or other information you submit through our contact form. IP addresses may be processed temporarily to determine approximate location and prevent abuse, but raw IP addresses are not stored.

Measured does not track you across other websites, build advertising profiles, or share data with ad networks. Anonymous session identifiers may be generated to group events within a single visit, but these cannot be used to identify you personally.

Measured is loaded through our own domain rather than as a third-party tracker, which helps avoid unnecessary cross-site data sharing. For more detail on how Measured handles data, see measured.site/policy.

5. Types of cookies we use

We do not set analytics, marketing, or preference cookies. Depending on how you use the Website, the following may apply:

Because we do not use non-essential cookies for analytics or advertising, we do not currently operate a separate cookie consent banner. If we introduce non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate controls where required by law.

6. Third-party services

Some parts of the Website rely on trusted third parties. For example, project imagery and journal content may be delivered through content and image hosting services, and contact form submissions are processed by Web3Forms when you choose to send us a message.

These providers may collect technical information or set their own cookies when their services are accessed. We do not control third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the relevant provider's own policies.

Our analytics provider, Measured, is cookieless and does not set cookies on your device for tracking purposes.

7. Cookie duration

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them.

Strictly necessary and infrastructure-related cookies are typically retained only for as long as needed to support secure delivery of the Website.

8. Managing cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies from your device.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the Website functions. Strictly necessary cookies are required for core operation, so limiting them may prevent some pages or features from working as intended.

Because our analytics are cookieless, blocking cookies will not disable usage measurement on the Website.

9. Your rights

Where cookie data amounts to personal information under UK data protection law, you have rights in relation to that information, including rights of access, correction, and objection in certain circumstances.

To exercise these rights, or if you have questions about how cookies relate to your personal data, please contact us using the details in section 11. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the Website operates. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
