One cookie, and it remembers your currency.

The one cookie

Office Studio sets one cookie, named market. It holds one of two values, gb or us, and that value decides whether the prices on this site are shown in pounds or in US dollars. It lasts a year.

It is set only when a page is opened with a market parameter in its address, and at no other time. No page on this site links to such an address; the parameter is there so the studio can check the other price sheet. It carries no identifier, no record of the pages you read and nothing you typed into a form. This site reads it and nothing else does.

Why the cookie does not ask for consent

The rules require consent for storage that is not strictly necessary for something you asked for. This cookie is what carries out the switch you pressed: without it, the next page would show you the currency you had just changed away from.

It does not profile you, it does not follow you to another site, and it is used for nothing but choosing which figure to print.

What else is stored on your device

Two more values are kept by your browser and sent nowhere. Neither identifies you, and both exist only to honour something you did.

• os-theme. Set when you use the light and dark control in the header, so the site opens in the mode you chose. Kept until you clear your browser storage.
• os.entered. Set when you cross the entrance, so you are not shown it again on every page. Cleared when you close the tab.

Why neither of those asks for consent either

Both exist purely to carry out an action you took: choosing a mode, and going into the site. Neither is used to profile you, neither follows you to another site, and neither leaves your browser.

The typeface is served from this site rather than from a font service, so no third party sees your visit. The enquiry form reaches us through a provider called Resend, but that happens on our server after you press send, not in your browser.

Removing them

Clearing site data for officestud.io in your browser settings removes all three. The site works normally afterwards: it follows your system's light or dark setting again, shows you the entrance once more, and prices itself by the country you are reading from until you use the switch again.

If this changes

If Office Studio ever adds analytics or anything else that stores information for its own purposes, this page changes first, the date at the bottom changes with it, and consent is asked for where consent is owed. Questions to hello@officestud.io.
