Cookie Policy
Last Update: 4 December 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Snyman Business Consulting, trading as Quiet Foundry (“Quiet Foundry”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at quietfoundry.io (the “Site”).
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website.
They do things like:
Help the site remember your actions and preferences (for example, your cookie settings).
Help us understand how people use the site (for example, which pages are visited most).
Allow certain features to work (for example, keeping you logged in to a secure area).
Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in a similar way: they store small pieces of information in your browser so the site can use them later.
In this policy, we use “cookies” to cover both cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies on the Site to:
Make the Site work and keep it secure.
Remember your cookie choices.
[Optionally] Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve layout, content and performance.
We do not use cookies to read any data from your Gmail or Google Workspace account. Any future product integrations with Google will be governed by separate product terms and privacy documentation.
Types of cookies we use
We divide cookies into the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as:
Navigating between pages.
Setting your privacy or cookie preferences.
Filling out forms (for example, waitlist or contact forms).
You can set your browser to block these cookies, but parts of the Site may then not work properly.
Performance / analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site, for example:
Which pages are visited most often.
How long visitors spend on each page.
Whether visitors see error messages.
We use this information in an aggregated way to improve how the Site works; we do not use it to identify you personally.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make, such as:
Your preferred language or region.
Whether you have seen a particular pop-up or message.
They make the Site more personalised and easier to use, but are not essential for basic operation.
Advertising / targeting cookies
These cookies are used to show you advertising that is more relevant to you, and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns.
We do not currently use advertising or targeting cookies on the Site.
Cookies we use on this Site
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, with an updated "Last update".
Legal basis for using cookies
Under EU and Dutch law, we rely on:
Legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies (they are needed to provide a secure, working website).
Your consent for all non-essential cookies (for example, analytics, functional and advertising cookies, where used).
You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing your cookie settings (see below).
Your cookie choices
Cookie banner and on-site settings
When you first visit the Site, you may see a cookie banner asking you to:
Accept all cookies;
Reject non-essential cookies; or
Choose specific categories (for example, allowing analytics but not advertising).
You can change your choices at any time by clicking [“Cookie settings”] in the footer or settings area of the Site (once you have added that link in Framer).

See which cookies are stored and delete them.

Third-party cookies
Some cookies on the Site may be set by third parties, for example:
Analytics providers [e.g. Google Analytics].
Embedded content (such as videos or forms) from other sites.
These third parties may use their cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. We do not control these cookies.
For more details, please see the privacy or cookie policies of the relevant third-party providers.
How long cookies are stored
How long a cookie is stored on your device depends on whether it is:
A session cookie – deleted when you close your browser.
A persistent cookie – stays on your device for a set period or until you delete it.
We aim to keep cookie lifetimes as short as practical and only as long as needed for the purpose described.
