Animated Creative keeps tracking to a minimum. This site sets no first-party cookies of its own. We use no advertising cookies, no behavioural profiling, and no social-media tracking pixels. Our site analytics are handled by Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-first tool that records only anonymous, aggregate data and stores nothing at the individual level. The only cookies you may encounter on this site come from embedded YouTube videos, and only if you choose to play one.
Cookies are small text files a website can store on your device, often to remember preferences between visits. This site sets none of its own. The explanation below is provided so you understand what the third-party embed described in this notice may do.
This site sets no first-party cookies. The only cookies you may encounter come from embedded YouTube content, as set out below.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC | YouTube (Google) | Set when an embedded YouTube video is loaded or played. Used by YouTube to record views and preferences. | Session / 6 months | Third-party / Functional |
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used (page views, referrers, country of visit, device class). It is cookieless: it sets nothing on your device and stores no personal data at the individual level. There is nothing here for you to accept or decline.
Our work includes video delivered through YouTube. Nothing from YouTube loads when you simply view a page: the player is requested only when you click to play a video. At that point, and only then, YouTube may set cookies on your device, receive information about your visit, and record view and watch-time data. Because playing a video is a deliberate choice you make, this site needs no cookie banner. This processing is governed by Google's privacy policy, which you can review at policies.google.com/privacy. If you block third-party cookies in your browser, the player may not function, but you can still watch any video directly on YouTube.
This site is built to work with cookie-blocking extensions and strict privacy settings. Blocking cookies will not affect any part of the site except embedded YouTube playback. The site itself does not depend on cookies to function.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them after they have been set. The method varies by browser:
We may update this cookie notice from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
