How we use cookies

The MACS Bid Studio website is built on Squarespace and uses a small number of cookies to support the basic operation of the site and to help us understand how visitors are using it. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or any tools that share your data with external platforms for commercial purposes.

This information is aggregated and anonymous — it is not linked to any individual and is used solely to help us improve the site. Squarespace Analytics does not share this data with third parties.
