1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and (where used) understand how visitors use the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
bytesmithhq.com uses cookies for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose | Example |

We do not currently use cookies for advertising or ad retargeting purposes. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded on our site, not by ByteSmith directly. These may include:
- Calendly — used for our booking widget; Calendly may set its own cookies when you interact with the scheduling tool. See Calendly's own cookie/privacy policy for details.
- Google Fonts — used to load web fonts; this may involve a request to Google's servers.
We do not control these third-party cookies directly and encourage you to review each provider's own cookie policy for full details.
