2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on or accessed from a user’s browser or device when visiting a website.

Similar technologies may include local storage, tracking pixels, scripts, device identifiers and other tools used to provide functionality, remember preferences, measure activity or support security.

3. Current website configuration

The Azotea Partners website is intended to operate using a privacy-minimised Framer configuration.

At the date of this policy:

  • No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising cookies or behavioural-profiling tools are intentionally activated.

Framer states that its built-in analytics does not rely on cookies or persistent identifiers and does not require a cookie banner by default. Framer also states that third-party scripts such as Google Analytics, HubSpot or embedded services may require an appropriate cookie-consent mechanism. Framer
