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.

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.
