Cookie policy

Effective date: 07/31/2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Bright Designlab ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on brightdesignlab.com (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help a site function, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage work in comparable ways. We refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.

The categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary. Required for the Site to function and stay secure. These are always active and cannot be switched off through our consent tool. Examples include the cookie that stores your consent choices and the cookie that protects our forms against fraudulent submissions.

Analytics. Help us understand how visitors find and use the Site so we can improve it. These load only after you accept them.

Managing your consent

When you first visit the Site, a consent banner lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. Non-essential cookies do not load until you consent. You can change your choices at any time by clicking the [cookie settings link] in the footer to reopen the banner.

We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of non-essential cookies automatically, with no action needed from you.
