Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how StudioWhirl, Inc. (“StudioWhirl”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the StudioWhirl website and booking application (the “Service”).

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. Categories of cookies we use

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies: required for core functionality such as signing in, keeping you signed in during checkout, and maintaining your booking session. The Service cannot function properly without these.
  • Functionality cookies: remember choices you make, such as light or dark mode and your preferred studio location, to provide a more personalized experience.
  • Performance and analytics cookies: help us understand how studios and members interact with the Service, so we can measure and improve performance.

3. Third-party cookies

Stripe may set its own cookies during checkout and payout onboarding to prevent fraud and process payments securely. These are governed by Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies. We may also use privacy-conscious analytics providers to understand aggregate usage of the Service.

4. How long cookies last

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, or until you delete them, and are used for things like remembering your sign-in state and display preferences between visits.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu. Disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to stay signed in or complete a booking on StudioWhirl.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date above.
