CalyxStudio Ltd. ("CalyxStudio," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to transparency about how we collect and use data related to your interactions with our website at www.calyxstudio.ie. This Cookie Notice provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and your choices regarding their use.
CalyxStudio Ltd. is a company registered in Ireland, with its registered office at 42 Pearse Street, Dublin 2, D02 YX88, Ireland. Our Company Registration Office number is 634218. We operate as the data controller for any personal data collected through cookies on our website.
This Cookie Notice should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal data. If you have questions about this notice, please contact us at [email protected].
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to improve efficiency, and to provide reporting information to site owners. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain pieces of information about your visit, such as your preferred language or settings.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, CalyxStudio) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services, such as analytics, advertising, or interactive content. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your device both when you visit our website and when you visit certain other websites.
In addition to cookies, we may also use other similar technologies, such as local storage (including localStorage and sessionStorage), which function similarly to cookies in that they store small amounts of data on your device. Where we refer to "cookies" in this notice, we include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons and are essential for our website to operate. These are referred to as "strictly necessary" or "essential" cookies. Other cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Still others allow us to remember your preferences and personalise your experience.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data. We do not sell any data gathered through cookies to third parties. The specific types of cookies we use and their purposes are described in detail in Section 4 below.
The following table describes the categories of cookies we use on our website, along with their specific purposes and retention periods.
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as security, accessibility, and network management. You cannot opt out of these cookies because the website cannot function properly without them.

| calyxPopupDismissed | Remembers whether you have dismissed the promotional popup during your current browser session to avoid repeated interruptions. | Session (sessionStorage) |

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about the number of visitors, the pages they visit, how long they spend on each page, and how they arrived at the site. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it does not directly identify individual users. We use this information to improve our website's performance, content, and user experience.

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites with the purpose of displaying advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. These cookies are set by third-party advertising partners and may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other websites.

Under the European Union's ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC), transposed into Irish law by Statutory Instrument No. 336 of 2011 (the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011), and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
Essential cookies (as described in Section 4 above) do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary for the website to function. These cookies are placed under the legal basis of legitimate interest and contractual necessity.
Analytics and marketing cookies are only placed after you have given your informed consent by clicking "Accept" on our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and reloading the website, or by using the cookie management options described in Section 7 below.
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This banner presents you with two clear options:
The banner does not block access to the website content. You can browse freely before making a choice. However, until you make a selection, only essential cookies will be active.
You have several options for managing cookies beyond our consent banner. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" section of your browser. Here is how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:
To reset your cookie consent preferences on our website specifically, you can clear your browser's local storage for www.calyxstudio.ie. After doing so, the cookie consent banner will appear again on your next visit, and you can make a fresh choice.

Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Some features may not work as intended if essential cookies are blocked.
Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services that we use to enhance the functionality and performance of our site. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:
We do not control the cookies set by these third parties and are not responsible for their data collection practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these providers for more information about how they handle data collected through cookies.
In addition to traditional HTTP cookies, our website uses your browser's local storage and session storage mechanisms. These technologies serve similar functions to cookies but are stored differently in your browser. Local storage data persists until it is explicitly cleared by you or by us through our website's code. Session storage data is automatically deleted when you close your browser tab or window.
We use local storage for the following purposes:

You can clear local storage and session storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all website data in your browser settings.
Some web browsers allow you to send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites you visit. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. As a result, our website does not currently respond to DNT signals in a standardised way. However, you can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner as described in this notice. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT and update our practices accordingly.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected], and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this notice.
If we make material changes to how we use cookies, we will re-present the cookie consent banner to you so that you can review your preferences. We encourage you to review this notice periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and related technologies.
