The Honest Answer
This site doesn't set any tracking cookies.
We don't use Google Analytics. We don't use Meta Pixel. We don't sell, rent, or share your data with anyone — because there's nothing to share. The only thing your browser might remember is whether you've dismissed a message or scrolled somewhere, and that stays on your device.
What a cookie actually is
A cookie is a tiny text file a website can save to your browser. Some are essential (they let a shopping cart remember what's in it). Others are used to follow you across the internet so advertisers can retarget you. The two are usually lumped together, which is why "cookie banners" feel so confusing.
For clarity, this page treats any browser-side storage — cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage — the same way. If it lives on your device because of us, it belongs on this page.
What this site stores
A complete inventory. If we add anything later, it goes in this table before it ships to production.
What happens when you fill out the contact form
When you send us a message, the name, email, business type, and note you submit are emailed directly to our studio inbox. That's it. We use what you wrote to reply to you. We don't add you to a newsletter. We don't sync it to a CRM. We don't hand it to a third party.
- Storage: in our email, just like any other email we receive.
- Retention: kept while we're working together, then archived or deleted on request.
- Your rights: email hello@ignitewebstudios.ca anytime to see, correct, or delete anything we have on you.
If that ever changes
If we add analytics, a heatmap, a chat widget, or anything else that touches your browser storage, we'll do two things: update this page, and ask for your consent before it loads — with a banner that defaults to "off," not pre-selected "on." That's the line we hold.
How to block cookies anyway
Even on sites that respect you, it's a good habit to know how to clear browser storage. Every major browser has a setting under Privacy & Security to block cookies, clear site data, or switch to strict tracking protection. We actively encourage you to use it.
