Clarity and Control
The crumbs we leave behind.
We keep tracking to a minimum and never sell your data. Here is a plain-English account of the cookies folkfox.com sets, why, and how you can control every non-essential one.
Essential first
The core cookies simply make pages load securely and route your contact message. That is the baseline, and it is small.
Anonymous analytics
We use aggregated, anonymised analytics to learn which insights resonate. We never sell your data to brokers.
Absolute control
Under the EU ePrivacy rules you hold the keys. Accept, reject or fine-tune non-essential cookies whenever you like.
You hold the keys
Your cookie choices.
Set your preferences below. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off; everything else is your call, and we default to off.
Manage cookies
This panel stores your choice on your device only. On the live site it drives which non-essential scripts may load.
Strictly necessary
Security, load balancing and making our contact form work. The site cannot function without these.
Performance & analytics
Anonymous, aggregated analytics so we can see which insights resonate and improve the site. Never sold.
Functional
Remembering preferences such as this cookie choice and accessibility settings, so we do not ask again.
Targeting & advertising
We do not currently run advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. This control is disclosed for transparency and stays here should that ever change.

01 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, phone or tablet when you visit a website. They help sites work, work more efficiently, and provide basic reporting. Related technologies such as local storage and pixels do similar jobs, and we treat them under this policy too.
A first-party cookie is set by folkfox.com. A third-party cookie is set by another domain, such as an embedded scheduling tool. folkfox does not use cookies for invasive cross-site advertising or for selling profiles.
02 Your consent and control
For anything beyond strictly necessary cookies, we ask for your consent first, and you can withdraw it at any time using the preference centre above or your browser controls.
Where your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we treat it as an instruction not to load non-essential analytics. Consent is never bundled: rejecting is as easy as accepting.
03 Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into four categories:
- Strictly necessary: essential for security, load balancing and delivering your contact message. These cannot be switched off.
- Performance and analytics: anonymised, aggregated measurement of how the site is used, so we can improve it.
- Functional: remembering choices such as your cookie preference and accessibility settings.
- Targeting and advertising: not currently used. Disclosed for transparency and in case that ever changes, at which point it would be off by default and require your consent.
04 Cookie inventory
The table below is representative. Exact names and durations can vary as providers update their tools; the categories and purposes do not.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ff_cookie_consent | folkfox | Remembers your cookie choice | 12 months | Functional |
| __cf_bm / cf_* | Cloudflare | Security and bot management | Session to 30 min | Strictly necessary |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Anonymous usage measurement | Up to 13 months | Analytics |
| Calendly session | Calendly | Enables the booking widget when used | Session | Functional (third-party) |
05 Third-party cookies and processors
Some cookies are set by trusted third parties whose tools we use to run a boutique studio. Each has its own privacy and cookie policy, which we encourage you to review:
- Cloudflare: security, performance and bot protection.
- Google Analytics: anonymised traffic measurement. See Google Analytics data practices.
- Calendly: optional booking of discovery calls.
- Web3Forms: secure, serverless routing of your contact enquiries.
- LinkedIn: only if you interact with a LinkedIn embed or share button.
How your personal data is handled once submitted is covered in our Privacy Policy.
06 How to manage your cookies
You have three layers of control:
- The preference centre at the top of this page.
- Your browser settings: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
- EU-wide opt-out tools such as Your Online Choices.
If you reject cookies, the site still works, though embedded features such as the booking calendar may be limited.
07 Legal basis and governing law
Our use of cookies is governed by the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), which requires consent for non-essential cookies, working together with the GDPR. Strictly necessary cookies rely on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functioning site; all others rely on your consent.
As a Malta-based studio, our supervisory authority is the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC).
08 Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. The date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be surfaced through our consent banner.
