Cookie Notice
Effective date: 2026-06-05
Last updated: 2026-06-05
This page describes the cookies and similar technologies thrivecreative.ltd sets in your browser, what they do, and how you can control them. For our broader privacy practices, see the Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It can hold things like a session identifier (so the site recognizes you across page loads), a preference (e.g., a language choice), or a tracking ID. Browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.
“Similar technologies” includes localStorage, session tokens, and tracking pixels — anything that stores data in your browser to identify you across visits.
Cookies we currently use
| Cookie / token | Set by | Why it’s set | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
WordPress session token (e.g., wp-settings-*, wordpress_logged_in_*) | thrivecreative.ltd | Identifies a logged-in administrator session (only set when an admin logs in) | Session (cleared on browser close) or 14 days if “remember me” |
wordpress_test_cookie | thrivecreative.ltd | Tests whether your browser accepts cookies during admin login | Session |
| Anti-spam time-check (form session) | thrivecreative.ltd | Verifies form submissions weren’t sent instantly by bots | Form session only |
We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies, social-media tracking pixels, behavioural-advertising trackers, or session-replay tools.
Cookies planned (not yet active)
Once installed, we plan to add:
| Cookie | Set by | Why | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Site usage analytics — pages visited, browser, approximate location | 2 years (_ga), 30 minutes (_ga_*) |
When Google Analytics is installed, IP addresses are truncated by Google before storage. We will update this page when GA4 goes live.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking strictly-necessary cookies (the ones in the first table) may break parts of the site that require them — for example, the admin login.
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Changes to this notice
We’ll update this page when we add or remove cookies. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the most recent change.
