What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of code that a website stores on your device to improve user experience, track interactions, or collect analytical data. These cookies may include a unique identifier and can record information such as the date, time, and duration of visits.

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device until their expiration date or until manually deleted.

For more detailed information on cookies, please visit All About Cookies.

Cookies on This Site

This Site does not set any cookies. None of its pages sends a cookie, and our own scripts store nothing on your device.

Analytics

In short: our own counter, on our own server, notes which pages are opened and what is clicked, so we can see what helps visitors find our work. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and never stores your IP address in its records. We delete its records after 13 months and share them with no one. To switch it off, turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser (see Consent).

What our counter receives

A small script from our own site sends a short message to moredesign.studio when you:

• open a page: the page's address (without the part after "?" or "#"; an address that doesn't look like one of our pages is stored only as "other"), the name of the website that linked you here (for example "linkedin.com"), a campaign tag if the link had one (for example utm_source=newsletter), and whether you opened the page, came back to it with the Back or Forward button, your browser loaded it in advance, or it changed within the site without a full reload;
• use the page: which words you choose or clear and where (the headline, the line under it or the "What we do" list), and whether our animated headline was running at that moment; a click on a greyed-out word or on a "What we do" row; "See all" (with how many projects were shown); which case study you open and how you got to it, how long it stayed open, whether you reached its end and how you closed it; reaching the contact section and how (scrolling or a link); starting the contact form and how, or a form error (which field, never what you typed); copying or clicking our email address;
• hide or leave the page (also when you switch tabs): how long it was visible, whether you clicked, tapped, pressed a key or scrolled, how far down the page you got (on our home page: the See all row, What we do or the contact section; on other pages: the contact section), how far our animated headline played and what stopped it (for example resting the pointer on a word), and how fast the page loaded, how much it shifted while loading and how quickly it responded to you.

In addition, when you send the contact form, our server notes for that week whether the message was sent or failed, without anything you wrote.

The script stores nothing on your device (no cookies, no local storage). To send the items above it reads the page address, the site that linked you here, your Global Privacy Control setting and your browser's own timing figures for the page. It does not read your screen size, your language or anything stored on your device.

What our server does with it

Your IP address, your browser's user-agent and a few technical details your browser sends are used in memory only and never saved (except in our web server's error log if a request fails; see Server Logs): to make a visitor code, to recognise visits from our studio, to spot automated visitors, and to stop one network from sending too many messages (for that, the address, or a scrambled form of its network part, is held only in our server's memory, never on disk, until newer visitors push it out or the server restarts). For the visitor code, the IP address is first shortened (the last part removed), then combined with the user-agent and a random key. The key is new for each day, is kept only in our server's memory and is deleted shortly after midnight UTC (1 or 2 a.m. in Bratislava), so a code can't be recalculated or matched with another day's codes.

With each message we store: the visitor code, a random code for that one page view, the page, what happened (from the list above), the time to the minute (UTC), your browser's name and main version, your operating system, the device type (phone, tablet or computer), and short markers for automated traffic (some come from technical headers, for example whether your browser sends a language preference at all, not which one). We never store your IP address or your full user-agent. Contact-form and email actions are stored only with the week they happened in, without the visitor code, the page or the time, so our statistics don't connect them to a visit; actions our server recognises as coming from a bot, an automated browser or ourselves (our studio or our own site checks) are not stored at all.

These records contain no name or IP address, but because our server log keeps full addresses for 14 days (see Server Logs), they still count as personal data, and we treat them that way. We delete them 13 months after the day (or week) they were made. They stay on our own server, rented from Contabo GmbH (see Where the Site Runs); we use them only for our own statistics and share them with no one. We don't use them to make decisions about you or to build a profile of you.

Why

We do this to see which parts of the Site help visitors find our work and contact us. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in that (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). You can object at any time; see "Your right to object" below.

Umami (until 15 December 2026)

Until then we also run Umami Analytics, which we host ourselves (umami.moredesign.studio), to compare the two counts. It sets no cookies. When you open a page, its script sends us the page address (on our home page this includes the words you choose, for example ?design=identity, and the case studies you open), the page title, the page you came from, your screen size and your browser's language; your browser also sends its user-agent. Umami does not receive your IP address, so it stores no IP address and no location. To group page views into visits, it computes a code from your browser's details and the current month. Its script reads one setting from your browser's local storage (umami.disabled), which switches it off, and writes nothing. We delete Umami's records 13 months after we switch it off.

No third-party tracking occurs: no other company's analytics, advertising or tracking scripts run on this Site.

Consent and Data Collection

Consent

We do not show a consent banner and do not ask for consent before our counter or Umami counts a visit. Neither sets cookies or stores anything on your device, but both send the details listed under Analytics from your browser. This is how to switch each off:

• Our counter: turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser (some browsers have it built in, others offer it as an extension). Our script then sends nothing, and our server discards any such request, including its note of a sent contact form. You can also block moredesign.studio/api/stats (or /assets/stats.js) with a content blocker; we won't work around it. If you then send the contact form, it is still counted, per week only, as one message sent or failed, unless Global Privacy Control is on.
• Umami: Global Privacy Control does not switch it off, and it ignores "Do Not Track". Block umami.moredesign.studio with a content blocker, or set umami.disabled in your browser's local storage for this Site.

Your page requests still appear in our server's access log (see Server Logs).

Refusing or Deleting Cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. For guidance, visit All About Cookies. Blocking cookies does not affect this Site: it uses none, and the contact form works without them.

Cookies Used on This Site

None.

Server Logs

Like every web server, ours records each request in an access log: your IP address, the date and time, the address requested, the page you came from and your browser's user-agent. This includes the requests your browser makes to umami.moredesign.studio, and to admin.moredesign.studio, which serves the videos on our case-study pages. We keep this log for 14 days.

Separately, we keep a list of requests from automated search and AI crawlers (for example Googlebot or GPTBot) for 35 days, to see which of our pages they read. For each such request it holds the time (to the minute), the address requested, our server's response, the crawler's name and whether the request came from the network that crawler's operator publishes. It holds no IP addresses and includes only requests that name themselves as one of these crawlers. Because an entry could be matched with the access log above while that log still exists, we treat this list as personal data too. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing how search and AI services read our site (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); you can object as described under "Your right to object".

Requests to our counter (moredesign.studio/api/stats) and from the contact form are not written to this log. Only if our server fails to handle such a request does its error log record your IP address, the address requested and the page you came from; we keep the error log for 14 days too.

Where the Site Runs

The Site, our visit counter and its records, Umami and our content system run on one virtual server that we rent from Contabo GmbH, which stores this data for us. Emails from our contact form are sent through the mail server of Websupport s. r. o. (Bratislava, Slovakia; see Policy for Email Form Usage).

Policy for Email Form Usage

When you send our contact form, we collect only the information you provide: your email address, your message, and the short choices the form offers (who you are and what you need), if you made them. We don't ask for your name. The form travels over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) to our server, which forwards it as an email, through the mail server of our email provider Websupport s. r. o., to our studio inbox (hello@moredesign.studio, hosted by Google Workspace). The Site itself keeps no copy and stores nothing in a database. The privacy tick box is not passed on or stored. We use what you send us only to reply to you and talk about your project. No cookies are placed for email form usage.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access your data.
• Have it corrected.
• Request deletion of your personal data, including what you sent us through the contact form.
• Restrict how we use it.
• Object to our use of it, where we rely on our legitimate interests.
• Receive the data you gave us in a portable format, where this right applies.

Your right to object. You can object at any time to our counting of your visits. The simplest way is to turn on Global Privacy Control: from then on our counter records nothing, not even a sent contact form. Blocking moredesign.studio/api/stats also stops it, except the weekly count of sent or failed contact forms. Until 15 December 2026, Umami needs its own opt-out (see Consent and Data Collection). You can also write to hello@moredesign.studio. Our records hold no name or IP address, so we usually can't find your past visits in them; if you can tell us roughly when you visited and with which browser, we'll look and delete what we find.

To use any of these rights, write to hello@moredesign.studio. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky), Galvaniho 7/B, 821 04 Bratislava, dataprotection.gov.sk.
