Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back or navigate between pages.

Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — work in analogous ways and are also covered by this policy.

2. How we use cookies

UXDesigned uses a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels for retargeting, or cookies that share your data with social media platforms for advertising purposes.

The cookies we use fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They include session management cookies and security tokens. No personal information is stored in these cookies.

Examples: session state, CSRF protection tokens

Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website — which pages are visited, how long is spent on each, and where visitors come from. This data is collected in aggregate and is used solely to improve the website. IP addresses are anonymised where possible.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Examples: _ga, _gid, _gat (Google Analytics)

Preference cookies

If you set a display preference on the website (such as dark or light mode), a cookie may be stored to remember your choice on subsequent visits. This data stays on your device and is not shared with us or any third party.

Examples: theme preference

3. Third-party cookies

Some pages may embed content or functionality from third-party services, which may set their own cookies:

  • Scheduling tools — If you navigate to a scheduling page (e.g. Calendly or Cal.com), those services may set cookies on your device. These are governed by the respective service's own cookie and privacy policies.
  • Vercel hosting — Our hosting provider may set technical cookies for performance and security purposes.

We do not place third-party advertising or retargeting cookies on this website.

4. Managing cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Check your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how parts of the website function.
  • Google Analytics opt-out — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data from being sent to Google Analytics.
  • Do Not Track — Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” setting. We honour this signal where technically feasible.

5. How long cookies last

Cookies on this website fall into two types based on duration:

  • Session cookies — Deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies — Remain on your device until their expiry date or until you delete them. Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics typically expire within 14 months.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or as required by law. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
