Cookie Policy
This policy explains how pinesdesign.com uses cookies and similar technologies for essential site operation, consent preferences, fonts, the studio map on the contact page, and optional live chat.
Who we are
Pines Design LLC is a Wyoming limited liability company. 105 W Franklin St, Ludowici, GA 31316, USA is its operational and customer-service address.
This Cookie Policy applies to pinesdesign.com and to the cookies and similar technologies used on that site.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your device by a website. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and server logs. They help sites work, remember preferences, understand performance, and protect against misuse.
How we use cookies
Pines Design uses Termly, a consent management platform, to present cookie choices and to store your privacy preferences for this browser. The site may also use essential technologies for site security, form operation, payment safety, spam prevention, and basic site function.
When you first visit, the Termly consent banner lets you accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or set granular preferences by category. The site loads one optional third-party product tool — the tawk.to live chat widget — and Termly blocks it until you allow its category. The contact page also shows the official Google map of the studio listing so visitors can find the address.
The site loads no third-party analytics or advertising tools. If any are added later, Termly blocks them until you allow the matching category.
Cookie categories and current tools
| Category | Tool | Purpose | When it runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Termly consent storage | Show the banner and remember accept, decline, or custom preferences | Always |
| Necessary | First-party consent log | Record an anonymous choice, timestamp, and region for compliance | When you make or update a choice |
| Necessary | Hosting and security logs | Operate Cloudflare hosting, protect forms, and detect abuse | Always, as needed |
| Functional display | Google Fonts | Load the site's typefaces | On page load, to display the site |
| Performance and functionality | tawk.to live chat | Optional chat so visitors can ask questions | Only after you allow that category |
| Analytics | None configured | Would measure traffic if added later | Would require consent where required |
| Marketing | None configured | Would include ad or conversion tags if added later | Would require consent where required |
| Payment (off-site) | Stripe Checkout | Card entry and payment cookies on Stripe's domain after you leave this site | Only on Stripe's hosted page |
| Maps | Google Maps embed | Shows the Pines Design LLC listing on the contact page | On the contact page |
Necessary tools are always active and include consent preference storage, security controls, form operation, and payment-safety support. The tawk.to widget stores session data needed to operate the chat and loads only when its category is allowed.
We do not publish a fabricated list of every provider cookie name. Termly's preference center is the live inventory of classified technologies for this domain. Browser error monitoring, traffic analytics, product analytics, advertising pixels, review widgets, and testimonial widgets are not configured today.
Region and GPC behavior
Consent state and regional consent rules are handled by Termly, which applies the consent posture required for your region, using first-party region signals where available.
This site does not sell or share personal information and does not run targeted advertising, so a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal does not change any data practice here. Optional technologies load only after you allow them in Cookie Settings.
Consent records
When you make or update a consent choice, a first-party consent log may record the event for compliance records. The record includes an anonymous consent ID, the choice you made, a timestamp, and region information.
Consent records are used to demonstrate and honor privacy choices. They are not used as advertising identifiers, and the anonymous consent ID is not a login identity.
Your choices
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time through the Cookie Settings control in the footer, which reopens the Termly preference center. Your Privacy Choices in the footer links to our privacy request page.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality or prevent the site from remembering your choice.
Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy as technologies or site features change. The updated date shows when this policy was last revised.
