This Cookie Policy explains how Underpeaks ("Underpeaks", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on underpeaks.com and studio.underpeaks.com.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage, which work in a comparable way. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of these.
2. How we use cookies
We group cookies into three categories. You can accept or reject the non-essential categories using our cookie banner or by visiting your cookie preferences (available in the site footer).

We do not display third-party advertising in the product, and we do not sell your data to advertisers. Marketing cookies described here relate only to measuring our own marketing campaigns (e.g. social/ad platform pixels used on our marketing site), not to third-party ads shown within the product.
3. Third-party services
Some third parties may set cookies when their functionality is used:
| Service | Purpose | More information |

4. Managing your preferences
Through our banner. When you first visit, you can accept all, reject non-essential, or choose categories. You can change your choice at any time via the cookie preferences link in the site footer.
Through your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the service.

- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Do Not Track. Our service does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals, as there is no common standard for how to interpret them.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date and, where required, we will ask for your consent again.
