Cookie and Tracking Policy

Effective date: 15 July 2026. Last updated: 14 July 2026. This Policy explains how the Creatiminds website uses cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies. It should be read with the Privacy and Child Data Policy.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files or identifiers stored on a browser or device. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, local storage and device identifiers.

They may enable basic website functions, remember preferences, protect forms, measure performance or support advertising to adult audiences.

2. Categories We May Use

Strictly necessary cookies: required for security, session management, forms, consent preferences, load balancing and other core functions. The website may not work correctly without them.

Functional cookies: remember preferences such as language, form progress or display settings.

Analytics cookies: help us understand page visits, traffic sources, errors and general website performance. Reports should be configured to minimise unnecessary identification where reasonably possible.

Advertising cookies or pixels: may measure campaigns, limit repeated ads and help reach adult audiences such as parents. Creatiminds does not intend to create advertising profiles of enrolled children or target behavioural advertising to children.

3. Consent

Where required, non-essential cookies will be used only after the visitor makes a choice. The website should not use pre-ticked boxes or treat continued browsing as consent where affirmative consent is required.

Visitors can accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or preference centre. Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required to provide the requested website function.

4. Third-Party Technologies

The website may use services provided by analytics, advertising, video, mapping, payment, chat, form or security providers. These providers may set their own cookies and process information under their privacy terms.

Creatiminds maintains information about active cookies and similar technologies through its cookie preference tool or internal cookie register. This information is reviewed when website plugins, analytics tools or marketing tags change.

5. Managing Cookies

Cookie choices can be changed through the website preference tool where available. Browser settings can also block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect forms, login, payment or other functions.

Mobile devices and advertising platforms may provide additional privacy or ad-personalisation controls. Opting out of advertising cookies does not necessarily stop all advertising; it may make ads less personalised.

6. Children and Advertising

The website is designed to provide information to parents and guardians. Creatiminds does not knowingly use child account activity for targeted advertising and does not ask children to consent to marketing cookies.

Parents should supervise child use of the website and contact Creatiminds if they believe a child has directly interacted with advertising consent controls without appropriate authority.

7. Retention

Cookie durations vary. Session cookies expire when the browser closes, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. The live cookie register should state the typical duration for each non-essential cookie.

Analytics and advertising data will be retained according to the configured provider settings and the Privacy and Child Data Policy.

8. Updates and Contact

This Policy may be updated when tools, plugins, providers or legal requirements change. The revision date will be updated.
