Cookie Policy
Last updated 12 August 2026
1. About this policy
This policy explains how the Halx Studios website (https://halxstudios.com) uses cookies and similar technologies. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work and to provide information to site owners.
3. Cookies and similar technologies we use
This is a simple marketing site, and we keep tracking to a minimum. We use two things:
- Strictly necessary storage— we remember your cookie choice using your browser’s local storage (a technology similar to a cookie). It doesn’t identify you and can’t be switched off, and the site sets no other cookies of its own.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) — only with your consent, Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most popular) so we can improve it.
We do not use advertising, marketing or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| hs-cookie-consent (local storage) | This site | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you clear it |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells returning visitors apart | Up to 13 months |
| _ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Keeps analytics session state | Up to 13 months |
Analytics cookies run with Google’s Consent Mode: no analytics cookies are set, and nothing is stored on or read from your device, until you choose “Accept”in our cookie banner. Before you accept, Google’s Consent Mode may still receive limited, anonymous signals that set no cookies and do not identify you; only after you accept are the analytics cookies above set and full analytics collected. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set. Google processes this information as our service provider — see Google’s Privacy Policy.
The analytics data these cookies collect is retained for 14 months, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
4. Managing your choice
You can change your mind at any time using , which re-opens the cookie banner. You can also control and delete cookies through your browser settings — guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org. The site itself will still work normally if you block or clear cookies.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
