Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy

Essential cookies are always active. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent. You can manage all non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Chapter 1

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on return visits and remember settings or session state. Some cookies are essential for the site to function correctly; others are optional and help us understand how visitors use our services.

This policy covers all cookies set by theblackfoxstudio.com, including those placed by third-party services we use. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time — instructions for common browsers are in Section 5 below.

Chapter 2

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for theblackfoxstudio.com to function. They enable core features such as locale selection, session continuity, and security. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate as intended.

We process essential cookies under the legal basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for the proper operation of our digital services. These cookies do not track you across other websites and collect no personally identifiable information.

We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymised data about how visitors interact with our site — including pages viewed, session duration, referral sources, and approximate geographic region. This data helps us understand what content is useful and where to improve the experience.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember your settings across sessions so you do not need to re-select them on each visit. On our site, this primarily means your chosen locale (language) is remembered.

These cookies store no personally identifiable information and are processed under legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to improve your browsing experience. If you clear your browser cookies, your preferences will reset to defaults on your next visit.

Chapter 5

Managing Your Preferences

You can control, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to: view all cookies currently stored; delete cookies individually or all at once; block all cookies from specific sites; and block all third-party cookies.

Note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of theblackfoxstudio.com from functioning correctly. Browser-specific instructions: Chrome — Settings › Privacy and Security › Cookies; Firefox — Preferences › Privacy & Security; Safari — Preferences › Privacy; Edge — Settings › Cookies and Site Permissions; Opera — Settings › Privacy & Security.

Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes to the cookies we use, updates to applicable law, or changes to our third-party service providers. When we do, we will update the Last Updated date shown above.

We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally. Continued use of theblackfoxstudio.com after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy. For significant changes, we will display a notice on the site.
