Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how Form & Grain (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses them on our website, and how you can control them. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies is intended to comply with applicable law, including the ePrivacy Directive and national implementations in the European Economic Area, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other U.S. and international requirements. By continuing to use our site after seeing our cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described below, except where your consent is required by law and you have not given it.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to site owners, and to enable certain features. “Similar technologies” include web beacons (pixels), local storage, and session storage, which can be used for similar purposes. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by a different domain, such as an analytics or advertising partner). They may be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (they remain until they expire or you delete them). We use these technologies to improve your experience, analyze site traffic, and, with your consent where required, for advertising purposes.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that identifies you. We do not need your consent for these under most laws, and you cannot opt out of them if you wish to use the site.

Functional cookies. These allow the website to remember choices you make (e.g., language or region) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. You can block or delete them via your browser settings; some features may not work if you do.

Analytics and performance cookies. These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously (or in pseudonymized form). We may use Google Analytics and similar services. These cookies can help us improve the site and user experience. In some jurisdictions we need your consent before setting these cookies; where we use a cookie banner, your acceptance of “non-essential” or “analytics” cookies will constitute that consent.

Advertising and marketing cookies. These may be set by us or our advertising partners (such as Google) to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant ads on our site or on other sites. They are also used to limit how many times you see an ad and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Our website may use Google Ads (including remarketing) and other advertising services. In the European Economic Area and other regions that require consent for non-essential cookies, we will not set advertising cookies until you have accepted them via our cookie banner or settings. You can also manage advertising preferences via your browser and via third-party tools (e.g., Google’s Ads Settings). Refusing or disabling advertising cookies may mean you still see ads, but they will be less relevant to you.

3. Specific Services and Third-Party Cookies

We may use the following or similar third-party services, which may set their own cookies: Google Analytics (analytics); Google Ads (advertising and conversion tracking); and other partners that help us operate and improve our website. Each of these has its own privacy and cookie policies. Google’s policies can be found at policies.google.com. We do not control these third-party cookies; you can manage them through your browser settings and through the relevant third party’s opt-out or preference tools. We require our partners to comply with applicable law and to provide clear information about their use of data.

4. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Session cookies are temporary and are removed when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (from minutes to several years) or until you delete them. The retention period for each cookie or category may be specified in our cookie preference center or in the documentation of the relevant third-party provider. We do not retain cookie data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, in line with our Privacy Policy and legal obligations.

5. Your Choices and Consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie notice or banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Your choice is stored (e.g., in a cookie or local storage) so we do not need to ask you again on every visit. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies, revisiting our cookie settings if we provide a link in the footer or banner, or adjusting your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; instructions can usually be found in the browser’s “Help” or “Settings” section. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our and other websites. In the EEA and UK, we will not place non-essential cookies without your consent where required. In California and other U.S. states with similar laws, you may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; see our Privacy Policy for how to exercise those rights. Our use of Google Ads and similar services is designed to respect such choices where applicable.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
