Who we are
Ask Showcase Studio (“we”) runs this website. We are based in Algarve, Portugal. For questions about cookies or your data, write to info@askshowcase.studio.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us understand visits or support marketing. In the EU, non-essential cookies wait for your consent.
How we use cookies
Essential — always on
These keep the site working and remember the choice you make on this banner. Legal basis: necessary for the service you asked for (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and ePrivacy rules for strictly necessary cookies).
Cookie: ask_consent — stores your preferences for 12 months.
Analytics — off until you say yes
These help us see which pages are useful. They are not loaded unless you accept analytics or turn them on in preferences. Legal basis: consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
Marketing — off until you say yes
Used for ads or retargeting if we add them later. Nothing in this group runs without your consent. Legal basis: consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
What we do not do
We do not load Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar or similar tools until you grant the matching category. Rejecting cookies does not lock you out of the site.
How long we keep the choice
Your consent is stored for 12 months. After that, we ask again. You can change or withdraw it at any time — it is as easy as giving it.
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK you can ask for access, correction, deletion, or restriction of personal data, and you can object or withdraw consent. You can also complain to your local data protection authority — in Portugal that is the CNPD.
