Short version: We don't use cookies. We don't use tracking pixels. We don't use any device-fingerprinting or session-replay tools. Our website analytics are cookieless and report only aggregate, non-identifying statistics.
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember things between visits — login state, language preference, shopping cart contents, or, commonly, to track you across the web for advertising purposes.
This website does not set any cookies on your device. To be specific:
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is completely cookieless and privacy-preserving. It captures aggregate, anonymous metrics — total pageviews, top pages, top referrer domains, country-level visit data, and page-load timing — without:
Cloudflare's Web Analytics product is engineered specifically to deliver website statistics without identifying individual visitors. Read more about it here.
Your browser may temporarily store some standard, technically necessary data while you visit our pages — for example, a cached copy of a page to make it faster to revisit, or a record in your browser's history. These are normal browser behaviors, not cookies set by us, and you control them through your browser settings.
This site does not embed third-party widgets that set cookies (no YouTube embeds, no Twitter timelines, no Facebook plugins, no Instagram embeds). All videos on this site are hosted directly from our domain.
If you click an outbound link from this site to another website (for example, a DIELINE editorial article at thedieline.com or a winner's studio website), that destination site has its own cookie practices, which we don't control.
When you submit the contact form, our form-processing partner (Formsubmit) processes the submission to deliver it to our inbox. This involves a temporary session interaction, not a tracking cookie. Once the form is submitted, no persistent cookie remains.
Because we don't track visitors at all, your Do-Not-Track (DNT) signal and Global Privacy Control (GPC) are honored by default — we don't track anyone regardless of signal.
If we ever add cookies or tracking technologies to this site in the future, we will update this policy and provide a cookie-consent banner before any non-essential cookies are set.
