About this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how I use them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences. It covers what information cookies collect, how that information is used, and why certain cookies are necessary for the site to function properly.

Your consent applies to the following domain: mythwoodcreative.com

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that store bits of information on your device when you visit a website. They help my site function properly, stay secure, offer a better user experience, and provide insights into how it performs, such as what works well and what might need improving.

What types of cookies are used on this website, and what are they used for?

At this time (see last updated date above), my website uses necessary and functional cookies. These include both first-party cookies (set by my domain) and third-party cookies (managed by trusted services like Cloudflare and Elementor to ensure the site is secure and accessible).

 

Regarding analytical cookies:

I am currently trialling Umami Analytics, a GDPR-compliant alternative to Google Analytics that does not collect any personally identifiable information. It anonymises all data it collects, and does not track users across websites. Because Umami is cookieless, you won’t see it in the list below.
