This page explains which cookies and similar technologies Pixelbuddha uses, what each of them is for, and how you can change your choices at any time.
How to control cookies
You can review and change your choices at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Your choices are stored in a cookie on your device and apply the next time you visit.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the website, such as signing in and completing a purchase.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place while your consent was active.
Categories
We group cookies into four categories. Only strictly necessary cookies are always active — the other three are controlled by your choices.
Where a row lists several names, they are set together and serve the same purpose. Entries marked as local storage or IndexedDB are not cookies in the technical sense, but they store data on your device in the same way and are treated here as such.
Necessary
These are required for the website to work: they keep you signed in, protect forms against cross-site request forgery, and remember your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off.

Preferences
Cookies that remember choices changing how the website looks or behaves, such as a preferred language or region.
We do not currently use any cookies in this category. The category is kept so it can be switched off in advance if we introduce such cookies later.
Statistics
These help us understand how the website is used — which pages are opened, which resources are downloaded, and how people move through the site — so we can improve it. Some of these values are also linked to your account, so that usage can be analysed by membership type rather than per individual visitor.

Embedded content from other services
Some pages include content hosted elsewhere — YouTube videos and Figma files. When such a page is opened, the embedded player or viewer may set its own storage and receive your IP address and browser information. This is governed by the privacy terms of the service concerned, not by ours.
Other information we process
Cookies are only part of the picture. How we handle account data, orders, downloads and support messages is described in the Privacy, Cookies, and Payment Data section of our Terms of Service.
Changes to this policy
We update this page whenever we add, remove or change a service that stores data on your device. The "Updated" date at the top of the page always shows the most recent revision.
