Cookie Policy

Last updated June 2026

Do we use cookies?

No. The Smithies Studio website does not set, read or store any cookies on your device — not even strictly necessary ones.

We do use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand how this site is used and how it performs. Neither tool sets cookies or identifies individual visitors. Because no cookies are involved, there is still nothing to consent to and no cookie banner is needed.

Third-party infrastructure

Although we do not set cookies ourselves, two infrastructure providers process data as part of delivering this website to you.

This website is hosted by Vercel. As is standard with any web host, Vercel processes server request logs — which may include your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit — for the purpose of delivering the site and maintaining security. We also use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, which collect anonymised, aggregated data about page visits and performance metrics. Neither tool uses cookies or stores IP addresses. All Vercel processing is subject to their own privacy and data processing policies.

Images and media files are served via Cloudflare R2, Cloudflare's object storage service. Cloudflare may log requests at the infrastructure level. No personal information about you is stored by us on Cloudflare R2.

Neither Vercel nor Cloudflare are used by us for tracking, profiling, or advertising purposes.
