Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies are stored in your browser and are sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie.
In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs"), local storage, and session storage to collect information about how you interact with the CREO Films platform.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
CREO Films uses four categories of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting your privacy preferences. Without these cookies, services you have asked for — such as accessing your account dashboard or submitting a project — cannot be provided. Essential cookies do not require your consent under applicable law.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Platform. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and where visitors come from. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our Platform and will not be able to monitor its performance.
Preference Cookies
These cookies enable the Platform to provide enhanced functionality and personalization based on your choices. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our Platform. Preference cookies may remember your language preference, your region, your submission drafts, or other settings that improve your experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be set through our Platform by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We do not use marketing cookies to sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on the CREO Films Platform embed content or scripts from third-party services, which may set their own cookies on your device. These third parties include:
YouTube embeds:When we embed film trailers, pitch presentations, or other video content via YouTube, Google's YouTube service may set cookies to track video playback, display personalized recommendations, and measure engagement. These cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com). Where possible, we use YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed mode to minimize cookie placement.
Analytics services: We use analytics services, which may set tracking cookies to help us understand how users interact with the Platform. Analytics data is processed in aggregated, anonymized form. These providers are bound by data processing agreements that restrict how they may use information collected on our behalf.
We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for them. You should review the relevant third-party privacy policies for information about their cookies and how to opt out.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies can be either "session cookies" or "persistent cookies." Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them manually.
Essential session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Authentication cookies that keep you logged in persist for up to 30 days, or until you sign out. Analytics cookies typically persist for 13 months. Preference cookies persist for up to 12 months. Marketing cookies may persist for up to 24 months, as permitted by applicable law. Exact durations may vary by cookie and are subject to update.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing and controlling cookies:
Platform cookie settings:When you first visit CREO Films, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our Platform.
Browser settings:Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block cookies, alert you when cookies are being set, or delete cookies that have already been stored. Please consult your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the CREO Films Platform, including your ability to log in.
Opt-out tools: For analytics opt-outs, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to prevent data collection. For interest-based advertising, you can opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (youronlinechoices.eu), depending on your location.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and tracking technologies we use, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via a banner on the Platform or by email. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Your continued use of the CREO Films Platform after any changes to this policy signifies your acceptance of those changes.
