Cookies and the consent record
This page explains what is stored when you accept or reject the banner, what the site loads from elsewhere, and how to remove it. It sits beside our privacy notice.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to keep. Related storage, such as local storage, can hold a similar short value without using a cookie file. Synap Keystone uses that storage for one job: remembering whether you pressed Accept or Reject.
Types we use
Essential storage records the banner choice so it does not reappear on every page. The site does not run an advertising cookie and does not load an analytics package. Rejecting the banner does not lock any page, form, or session description. Accepting it does not turn on a tracker; it only stores the same kind of choice.
Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| sk_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional storage on this browser. | 12 months | Synap Keystone |
| synapkeystone-consent (local storage) | The same Accept or Reject choice, kept as the primary record the banner reads. | Until you clear site data | Synap Keystone |
| Google Fonts requests | Loads the serif and sans typefaces used for headings and text. Google may set or read its own cookies in line with its policies when the font files are fetched. | Set by Google, often for the session or as described in Google’s documentation |
How to manage or disable them
Use the Reject button on the banner to store a rejection. To see the banner again, delete the site data for synapkeystone.click in your browser, including cookies and local storage, then reload. In Chrome, site settings for this address include “Clear data.” In Firefox, the padlock or shield menu includes “Clear cookies and site data.” In Safari, Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data lets you remove the entry for this site. Blocking all cookies in the browser will also stop sk_consent from being written; the local storage key may still be set if local storage is allowed.
Third-party cookies
We do not embed advertising, video players, or social buttons. The typefaces are requested from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. That request can expose your IP address to Google and may involve cookies under Google’s own rules. If you block third-party cookies, or block those hosts, the pages still load and fall back to a local serif and sans.
If you disable them
The studio pages, the contact form, and the written rates remain available. You may see the banner again on later visits if the choice could not be stored. Type may look slightly different without the hosted fonts. Nothing on the site requires Accept in order to read about a session or to send a note.
