The public-facing Third Vision Studios website does not currently use analytics, behavioural profiling or advertising cookies.
Current position: we use only an essential admin session cookie and a consent-preference record stored in a first-party cookie and your browser's local storage. Embedded Google Maps content remains blocked unless you choose to allow it.
1. Overview
This policy explains how Third Vision Studios uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website. It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
The word "we" refers to Third Vision Studios, Mama Lucy Market, 1st Floor, near Marikiti Market, Karindundu Road, Karatina Town, Kenya.
2. What cookies and local storage are
A cookie is a small text record that a website asks a browser to store and return with later requests. Cookies can support essential functions such as keeping an authorised administrator signed in or remembering a choice.
Local storage is browser storage associated with a website. It can remember a preference without sending that value to the server on every page request. Clearing site data in your browser normally removes both cookies and local-storage records.
3. What we currently use
Current use
| Cookie or storage | Purpose | When used | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
thirdvision_adminEssential cookie |
Authenticates an authorised studio administrator and protects access to the restricted content-management area. The cookie is marked Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax. | Created only after a successful administrator sign-in. Ordinary public visitors do not need it. | Up to 12 hours, or earlier on logout or browser/site-data clearing. |
thirdvision_cookie_consentFirst-party cookie and local storage |
Remembers the cookie choice shown by the website so that the same preference does not need to be requested on every page. | Created or updated when a visitor records or changes a consent preference. | The cookie lasts up to 180 days. The matching local-storage value remains until it is replaced or site data is cleared. |
These records are not used to build marketing profiles, measure advertising or track visitors across unrelated websites.
4. Third-party links and embedded services
Our website links to services such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Google Maps. Some pages may display embedded Google Maps content after you allow it. When embedded content loads, or when you open or interact with an external service, the third party may receive your internet protocol address, browser information and request details, and may set its own cookies under its policy.
Those third-party technologies are controlled by the relevant provider. We do not use them to place our own analytics or advertising cookies. You can review the provider's privacy and cookie information before using the service or block third-party cookies through your browser.
5. What we do not currently use
At the date of this policy, Third Vision Studios does not place:
- website analytics or audience-measurement cookies;
- advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking cookies;
- social-media tracking pixels; or
- personalisation cookies that profile browsing behaviour.
We therefore do not ask visitors to accept analytics or advertising cookies that are not present.
6. Future non-essential cookies and consent
If we later introduce analytics, advertising, personalisation or another non-essential cookie, we will update this policy and provide clear information about its provider, purpose and duration. Where consent is required, we will ask for it before the non-essential cookie is set or used.
Visitors will be able to reject non-essential cookies without losing access to the ordinary public website. Withdrawing consent will stop future use of the relevant technology, although it will not make earlier consent-based use unlawful.
7. How to control cookies and browser storage
You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies and clear local storage. Blocking the essential admin cookie will prevent authorised users from staying signed in to the restricted admin area, but it should not prevent ordinary visitors from viewing the public website.
Browser controls vary. Look for settings labelled "Cookies", "Site data", "Privacy" or "Permissions". Private-browsing modes may clear stored preferences when the private session ends. You may need to record your consent choice again after clearing site data or using another browser or device.
