Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 24, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how creatistory.com (the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and choices, measure audience, and — where you allow it — display and personalise advertising. Similar technologies (such as local storage, pixels and tags) may be used for comparable purposes; references to "cookies" in this policy include those technologies.
Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for the Site to function (for example, to record your cookie consent choices or keep the Site secure). These do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through the consent banner.
- Audience measurement (analytics) cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. They are set only where the law requires your consent.
- Advertising and personalisation cookies: used by our advertising partners to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and — with your consent — personalise the ads you see.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties, in particular:
- Google (AdSense and advertising partners): for serving, measuring and personalising ads. Learn more in Google's overview of how it uses data and Google's advertising policies.
- Analytics provider: Google Analytics.
These third parties are responsible for their own cookies and processing, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Cookies and technologies used
The table below lists the main cookies and similar technologies used on the Site. It is provided for transparency and is kept up to date; exact names and durations set by third parties may vary.
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rp-consent | CreaTistory | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie consent choice | 6 months |
| __Secure-ENID / NID | Advertising | Ad serving, frequency capping, preferences | up to 13 months | |
| IDE / test_cookie | Google (DoubleClick) | Advertising | Ad measurement and personalisation (with consent) | up to 13 months |
| _ga / _ga_* | Google Analytics | Audience measurement | Anonymous audience statistics | up to 13 months |
We use Google Consent Mode v2. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, advertising and analytics cookies are set only after you give consent — the default is "denied" until you accept. Elsewhere, these cookies may be set by default and you can decline them at any time using the banner or the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer; declining stops them being used going forward.
Managing your consent
When you first visit the Site, a consent banner lets you accept all non-essential cookies or decline them. This is a single choice covering both advertising and audience-measurement cookies; we do not currently offer separate per-category toggles. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. We store a record of your choice so we do not ask again on every visit. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown Google's certified consent message instead of our own banner.
Withdrawing or changing your consent
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of this site, which reopens the consent banner. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse cookies, delete existing ones, or notify you when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the Site works. Instructions are available for:
Cookie lifetime
Cookies are either session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain for a defined period). The lifetime of each cookie depends on its purpose and provider, and generally does not exceed 13 months for consent-based cookies. Consent records are kept for 6 months.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
