1. About This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Studio Twenty Three PLLC (“Studio Twenty Three,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.meetstudiotwentythree.com (the “Website”).

It explains what cookies are, how they may be used on the Website, and the choices available to you.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that websites may place on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can perform different functions. For example, they may help a website operate securely, remember preferences, or provide information about how visitors interact with the Website.

Some cookies are necessary for a website to function. Others, such as certain analytics cookies, may be used to better understand Website traffic and performance.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, or tags, may perform related functions. References to “cookies” in this policy include similar technologies where applicable.

3. Cookies Used by Our Website

The Website is built and hosted using Squarespace.

Squarespace may use cookies that are necessary for the Website to function properly and securely. Depending on the Website's configuration and your cookie preferences, Squarespace may also use analytics and performance cookies that help provide information about Website traffic and how visitors interact with the Website.

Essential cookies support the basic operation and security of the Website. They may be used for purposes such as:

Maintaining Website functionality and security;

Preventing fraud, abuse, or malicious activity; and

Remembering cookie or privacy preferences.

Because these cookies are necessary for Website operation, they may not be subject to the same consent controls as optional cookies.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Depending on the Website's configuration, Squarespace analytics and performance technologies may collect information about how visitors use the Website, such as pages viewed, visits, referring sources, and Website performance.

This information may be used to understand Website traffic and improve the Website and visitor experience.

Where required by applicable law or Website settings, optional cookies are used in accordance with your cookie preferences.

5. SimplePractice Client Portal and Other External Websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including the SimplePractice Client Portal.

A link to the SimplePractice Client Portal directs you away from the Studio Twenty Three Website to a separate website operated by SimplePractice. Cookies or similar technologies used after you access SimplePractice are governed by SimplePractice's own privacy and cookie practices and are not cookies placed on the Studio Twenty Three Website merely because the Website contains a link to the Client Portal.

Other external websites linked from the Website may similarly use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Studio Twenty Three does not control the cookies or privacy practices of third-party websites.

6. Your Cookie Choices

Where cookie-preference controls are available on the Website, you may use them to manage your choices regarding non-essential cookies.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and may allow you to restrict third-party cookies.

Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how the Website functions. Deleting cookies may also remove previously saved cookie preferences, which could cause the Website to ask for your preferences again during a future visit.

Where applicable, Studio Twenty Three will honor legally recognized browser-based privacy preference signals as required by law.

Declining optional cookies should not prevent you from accessing the general informational content of the Website.

7. Third-Party Services

Squarespace provides the platform used to operate and host the Website and may process information in connection with providing those services. Squarespace's handling of information is also subject to its applicable privacy and cookie practices.

If Studio Twenty Three adds additional Website integrations, analytics tools, embedded content, advertising technologies, or other services that use cookies or similar technologies in the future, this Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect those changes.
