Cookies — Imagination Studio

The short version

We use one analytics tool — Google Analytics 4 — to count visits. That is all. No advertising, no profiling, no data sold, no third-party ad cookies. Everything else we set is strictly necessary to run the site.

Two regimes, depending on where you are

In the EEA, the UK or Switzerland: nothing from Google is downloaded and no analytics cookies are set until you choose Accept. Ignore the banner or decline it, and no analytics runs at all.
Everywhere else, including Australia: analytics is on when the page loads. The banner tells you so, and you can turn it off in one click — here, or from the footer of any page.

What we set — the complete list

Name	Set by	Purpose	Lifetime	Consent
`_ga`	Google Analytics 4	Tells one browser apart from another so visits can be counted	2 years	Required
`_ga_0F2KFS2SX6`	Google Analytics 4	Holds session state for this site's analytics property	2 years	Required
`is_consent`	Us	Remembers your cookie choice, and the policy version you made it against	180 days	Strictly necessary
`__Secure-authjs.session-token`	Us	Keeps you signed in — only if you sign in	30 days	Strictly necessary
`__Host-authjs.csrf-token`, `__Secure-authjs.callback-url`	Us	Sign-in security and redirect handling	Session	Strictly necessary
`__Secure-authjs.pkce.code_verifier`, `__Secure-authjs.state`	Us	Transient, during a sign-in round trip only	Minutes	Strictly necessary
`is_geo_override`	Us	Only if you visit our consent test link: forces the stricter, consent-first banner regardless of where you are	1 day	Strictly necessary
`is-cart`	Us	Local storage, not a cookie. Your cart, held on your device. It is never sent to us until you check out.	Until cleared	Strictly necessary

Where analytics never runs at all

Analytics is switched off entirely — not merely consent-gated — on your download pages, checkout, your account and the studio admin. Those addresses contain private things (a download link is a key to a file you bought), and we will not hand them to a third party. Whatever you choose above, Google is never loaded on those pages.

What we never turn on

Google's advertising signals — ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization — are set to denied permanently and are never granted, whatever you choose here. No advertising, no remarketing, no Google Signals, no sharing of your data for advertising purposes.
