Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember you, keep you logged in, and understand how people use the platform — so we can make it better.

We believe in being transparent about what we use and why. This page explains everything in plain language.

🔐 Essential cookies (always active)

These cookies are required for CoCreate to function. You cannot opt out of these because without them, core features like logging in and staying authenticated simply won't work.

📊 Analytics cookies (optional)

With your permission, we use analytics to understand how creators use CoCreate — which features are popular, where people get stuck, and what we should build next. This data is aggregated and anonymous.

What we track:

• Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• Features you use (posts, connections, opportunities)
• General usage patterns (not individual data)

We never sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to profile you individually.

🔧 Managing your preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time:

• Clear your browser's local storage to reset all preferences
• Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies in their settings
• Note: blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in

🇬🇧 UK/EU compliance

CoCreate is designed with GDPR and PECR compliance in mind. We only use optional cookies with your informed consent. You have the right to:

• Accept or reject non-essential cookies
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data
• Lodge a complaint with the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) at ico.org.uk
