Last updated: 24 September 2026. This policy explains cookies, local browser storage and related measurement technologies used by acreativeblock.com.
1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies and local storage are small pieces of information saved on, or read from, your device. They may make a site function, remember a choice, measure use or support advertising. Some measurement services can also receive limited requests without storing an identifier on your device.
2. Current inventory
Cookie preference — essential
acb-cookie-consent-v1 is stored in local storage by A Creative Block to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. It remains until you clear site data or change the choice. It is essential preference storage and does not require consent.
Cloudflare Web Analytics — measurement without cookies
Cloudflare’s performance beacon measures aggregate visits and site performance. Cloudflare describes Web Analytics as not using cookies or local storage to track individual visitors. The beacon therefore loads independently of the optional-cookie choice. Cloudflare may still receive ordinary technical request information needed to deliver and secure the service.
Google Analytics 4 — optional
When you accept optional cookies, Google Analytics may set _ga and a property-specific _ga_* cookie to distinguish visits and measure use. These commonly persist for up to two years, subject to Google’s configuration and your browser controls.
Google Ads — optional
When enabled through our tag configuration and you accept optional cookies, Google Ads may set or read cookies such as _gcl_au for conversion measurement and advertising. A typical duration is up to three months, although the exact cookies and duration may vary by Google service and campaign configuration.
Meta Pixel — optional
When enabled and you accept optional cookies, Meta Pixel may set or read cookies such as _fbp for advertising measurement and retargeting. A typical duration is up to three months, although Meta may vary its technologies and retention.
3. Tag management and Consent Mode
Google Tag Manager manages measurement tags and does not itself need to set an analytics or advertising cookie. Google Consent Mode starts with analytics and advertising storage denied. Until you accept optional cookies, Google tags may send limited cookieless consent or measurement signals but must not read or write analytics or advertising cookies. Accepting optional cookies changes the relevant consent settings to granted.
Contact forms use Web3Forms and, for the main form, Google Forms and Google Sheets to process information you deliberately submit. These are form-processing services rather than analytics cookies. The website’s Inter font files are self-hosted and do not require a request to Google Fonts.
4. Your choices
You may accept optional cookies or continue with essential storage only. Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from using the main website or contacting us. You can revisit the choice at any time.
You can also remove cookies and site data using your browser settings. If you delete the preference record, the consent banner may appear again. Browser settings may additionally block some or all cookies.
5. Provider changes
The exact cookies created by Google or Meta can change when those providers update their services or when our published tag configuration changes. We review this inventory when we add or materially change a provider.
6. Privacy information
More information about providers, purposes, legal bases, international transfers, retention and your data-protection rights appears in our Privacy Policy.
