This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on creatingmedia.co.uk, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small data files that a website asks your browser to store on your device. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner about how the site is being used.
Some similar technologies do the same job by a different method. Local storage is one of these – it stores information in your browser in much the same way as a cookie, but the information is not sent back to a server with every page request. Where we use local storage, we have listed it below alongside the cookies.
Your choice
When you first visit our website you are asked whether you accept optional cookies. Optional cookies are not set unless you accept them. If you reject them, or simply ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are placed on your device.
You can change your mind at any time using the button below. If you withdraw your consent, any analytics cookies already stored are deleted.
