Welcome to Design the Planet!
Like most websites, ours uses cookies (the digital kind, not the chocolate chip kind – sorry). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, improve your experience, and – in our case – make sure our marketing is relevant rather than random.
Think of them as little marketing elves, silently helping us understand what’s working (and what’s not).
Types of Cookies We Use
Here’s a breakdown of the different categories of cookies we use on our site:
1. Essential Cookies
These are mission-critical. Without them, the website wouldn’t function properly. No tracking, no analytics – just pure functionality.
- Example: Remembering your cookie preferences, keeping forms secure.
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us see how people use our site – what’s popular, what’s ignored, and where people rage-quit. We use tools like Google Analytics to gather anonymous stats.
- Example: Number of page views, bounce rates, average time on site.
3. Functionality Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences to personalize your experience.
- Example: Remembering your preferred language or region.
4. Marketing & Advertising Cookies
These help us show you ads that are actually relevant. We work with platforms like Google Ads and Meta to improve our campaigns (and avoid wasting your time with irrelevant content).
- Example: Showing you a retargeted ad because you visited our pricing page.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. Here’s how:
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Here’s a guide for each browser.
- Opt-out tools: You can opt out of some third-party cookies via tools like:
But remember: disabling cookies may affect how our site functions. Features might break. Animations might glitch. Small digital gnomes might cry.
Updates to This Policy
We might tweak this policy from time to time – especially as cookie technology or regulations evolve. We recommend checking back occasionally (or just follow us on social media – we’ll usually shout about changes).
