3. Cookie Categories Explained
Essential
Required for the Service to function. These handle authentication, session management, and security. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. No consent is required for essential cookies.
Preference
Remember your settings such as language selection and onboarding completion. Blocking these means you may need to re-select your language on each visit.
Analytics
Help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. Analytics data is collected only with your consent (via the cookie banner). We use first-party analytics sent to our own servers and Sentry for error tracking. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.
4. What We Do Not Use
- No third-party advertising cookies or pixels;
- No cross-site tracking;
- No social media tracking widgets;
- No behavioral profiling for marketing purposes;
- No fingerprinting or persistent device identification beyond what is listed above.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit Create Tale, a cookie banner will ask for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can:
- Accept — enables analytics cookies;
- Close / Decline — only essential cookies are used;
- Change your mind later — clear cookies in your browser settings, and the banner will appear again on your next visit.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning properly.
6. Cookies and Children
Create Tale is a parent-directed service. We do not serve targeted advertising to children and do not use cookies or similar technologies to profile or track children. Analytics data is aggregated and not linked to individual child profiles.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
