Cookie Policy

Last updated 28 September 2026.

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. This page lists the ones elevaredesigns.com uses and how to control them. It meets the consent rules of the EU and UK (GDPR and PECR), India's DPDP Act and California law.

The short version

For ordinary visitors, the site sets no tracking cookies at all unless you say yes to analytics. There are no advertising or social media cookies.

Cookies and storage we use

Name	What it is for	How long	Needed?
ed-consent (browser storage, not a cookie)	Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so we do not ask on every page	Until you clear it	Yes
__Host-ed_admin	Keeps our own team signed in to the website admin. Set only on /admin, never for visitors	Up to 12 hours	Yes, for staff
_ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics)	Counts visits and which pages are read. Only set if analytics is switched on and you click Accept	Up to 2 years	No

Your choices

When analytics is switched on, a banner asks before anything is loaded. Reject is as easy as Accept, and rejecting changes nothing about how the site works for you. You can change your mind at any time from Cookie settings in the footer.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a rejection and do not ask.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them does not stop you using the site.

Links to other sites

WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Maps and our live demo sites are separate websites with their own cookie policies. Nothing from them loads on our pages until you click through.
