Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation and security of the website.
They enable core functionality such as:
- page navigation

We use Google Analytics to better understand how visitors use our website.
Analytics cookies help us understand:

This information is used to improve our website and the services we provide.
Where required by applicable law, Google Analytics is only enabled after a visitor has provided consent.

8. Third-Party Cookies
At the time of publication, the website uses Google Analytics to provide website analytics.
The website also uses Featurebase to provide feedback and support functionality. Featurebase may use browser storage required to deliver that feature, but the feature is not loaded until functional storage consent is provided. This storage is not used by FirstProof for behavioural or targeted advertising.
The booking page offers a Calendly scheduling service. The Calendly booking interface is loaded only when a visitor chooses to use it and may use cookies or browser storage needed to provide the requested scheduling service.
If additional third-party services that place cookies are introduced in the future, this Website Cookie Policy will be updated to reflect those changes.
We do not knowingly permit third-party advertising cookies on the website.
