Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Rae Ink uses cookies and similar technologies on www.raeink.com. It works alongside our Privacy Policy and tells you what cookies are, how we use them, and how to control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (like login state, language, or pages viewed) so you don't have to re-enter them on each visit.
We also use similar technologies — including web beacons, pixels, and local storage — which serve similar purposes. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these as "cookies".
How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential operation — keeping the site functional, secure, and able to remember basic preferences
- Analytics — understanding how visitors find and use our site, so we can improve content and performance
- Marketing and social — measuring the effectiveness of campaigns and enabling social media features such as Instagram feed embeds
Cookies do not give us access to your computer, files, or any personal data beyond what we describe in our Privacy Policy.
Types of cookies we use
Essential (always on)
Required for the site to function. Examples: maintaining your session, remembering items you've selected, security checks. These cannot be disabled without breaking core site features.
Performance & analytics
Help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are most useful, where visitors come from, and where they drop off. We typically use Google Analytics, which collects this data in an aggregated, anonymised form.
Marketing & advertising
Used to measure the performance of any paid promotions we run, and to show relevant content. We may use cookies set by Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and TikTok where we run campaigns.
Functional
Enable features such as embedded Instagram feeds, embedded maps, and similar third-party widgets. Disabling these may cause certain parts of the site to display incorrectly.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by services we use to operate or improve the site. We do not control these cookies directly — please check the third party's own privacy and cookie notice for full detail. Common third parties on raeink.com include:
- Google — analytics, fonts, and maps (where embedded)
- Meta (Facebook, Instagram) — for embedded Instagram content and any paid promotion
- TikTok — for embedded content and any paid promotion
- Cloudflare or similar — for security and performance
Managing your cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings — usually under "Privacy" or "Security". Each browser is slightly different:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy & security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using our site, but some features (such as embedded social feeds or remembered preferences) may not work as smoothly.
Cookie consent
When you first visit our site, you may see a cookie banner asking for your preferences. You can change those preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies for raeink.com, which will reset the banner on your next visit.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as the law evolves. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date at the top.
