Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy explains how Oak & Rowan ("Studio," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. This policy supplements our Privacy Policy and reflects our strict adherence to data minimization and privacy-by-design principles.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an online service. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide necessary routing information. We may also utilize related infrastructure technologies, such as edge-network telemetry.

2. Our Technical Infrastructure & Analytics Deployment

Oak & Rowan operates a website hosted via secure edge networks (Cloudflare). To monitor site performance without compromising visitor privacy, we utilize server-side and edge-network telemetry rather than client-side tracking. Our analytics do not use third-party marketing cookies or collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to track individual user behavior across the internet.

3. Categories of Cookies

While our digital footprint is intentionally minimal, we categorize the cookies we do use as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Site to function and to provide requested services (e.g., security protocols, fraud prevention, and edge routing). Our website requires these to operate properly and mitigate malicious bot traffic.
• Functional Cookies: Used to enable enhanced functionality, if applicable, such as remembering minimal user interface preferences.

4. Who Places Cookies

First-party cookies: Set directly by us or our primary infrastructure providers (like Cloudflare) to ensure rapid site delivery and security.

Oak & Rowan does not deploy third-party marketing, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies.

5. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

We respect your right to control data stored on your device. Most browsers accept cookies by default but allow you to set preferences to refuse or delete cookies. If you use your browser settings to block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, it may interfere with proper site operation.

Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC): Because we never sell or share your data for behavioral profiling, we inherently honor these browser-level privacy signals.

6. State Privacy Rights and Opt-Outs

Depending on where you reside, you may have rights regarding personal information processed through cookies, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Because Oak & Rowan operates under stringent digital privacy standards and does not utilize non-essential tracking technologies, standard mechanisms to opt out of data sales are not applicable to our digital operations.
