This Cookies and Tracking Technologies Policy ("Cookies Policy") explains how AlphaCrew Studio LLC, doing business as HiWave Makers ("we," "us," "our"), uses cookies, web beacons, pixels, server-side tracking, and similar technologies on https://hiwavemakers.com (the "Site").
This Cookies Policy is part of our broader Privacy Policy. Please read it together with our Privacy Policy.
For questions: support@hiwavemakers.com.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to recognize your browser on subsequent visits and to store information like your preferences or session state.
First-party cookies are set by the domain you are visiting (in this case, hiwavemakers.com).
Third-party cookies are set by another domain that has been allowed to place cookies on your device through the website (e.g., Google Analytics, Meta Pixel).
Tiny image or script elements (often 1x1 pixels) embedded in pages or emails that record when content is viewed. Used for analytics, ad measurement, and email engagement tracking.
Some tracking happens on our server rather than in your browser. Examples include the Facebook Conversions API and Google Enhanced Conversions, which send conversion data directly from our server to advertising platforms. Server-side tracking does not use cookies, but it does process personal information about you. We treat this with the same care described in our Privacy Policy.
Your browser also has technologies like LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and IndexedDB that we may use for similar purposes. Where relevant, this Cookies Policy applies to those technologies as well.
We use cookies and tracking technologies for the following purposes:
We do not use cookies or persistent tracking technologies to deliver behaviorally targeted advertising directed at children.

Email messages we send may contain a tiny tracking pixel that records when an email is opened or a link is clicked. This data is processed by Brevo on our behalf. You can disable image loading in your email client to prevent the pixel from firing, though this may affect display of legitimate email content.
On your first visit, our Cookie Consent Manager presents you with categories of cookies you can accept or reject. You may revisit your choices at any time through the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
You may accept all, reject all (except strictly necessary), or customize by category:
Rejecting cookies in some categories may impair certain Site features.
You can also configure your browser to block, delete, or warn before accepting cookies. Each browser has its own settings:
You can opt out of behaviorally targeted advertising via these industry programs:
We honor the Global Privacy Control browser signal as a request to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable U.S. state laws.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and other state residents may exercise their right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" by emailing support@hiwavemakers.com, or sending a Global Privacy Control browser signal.
The Site may include embedded content from social media platforms (e.g., a YouTube video, an Instagram embed). When such content loads, the platform may set its own cookies and collect information about your visit. Each platform has its own privacy policy. We do not control these cookies.
Emails we send via Brevo may contain web beacons that record opens and clicks. Disabling images in your email client prevents these. You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails (transactional emails will continue to ensure delivery of essential service information).
We do not direct cookies or tracking technologies at children. We do not use cookies to build profiles of children or to deliver behaviorally targeted advertising to children.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use, regulatory developments, or operational needs. The date at the top reflects the most recent update. Significant changes will be communicated through a banner notice or email. We perform a scheduled review of cookies in use every six (6) months to ensure this inventory remains accurate.
