Cookies & storage
Cookie Policy
Effective August 11, 2026
This policy explains how Pixel Bead studio uses cookies and similar browser storage. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
What we use
We use storage needed to provide features you request. We also offer optional Google Analytics, which loads only after Google CMP reports that analytics storage is allowed or not applicable. We do not render an advertising slot on pages without an ad unit.
Optional analytics
When Google CMP reports that analytics storage is allowed or not applicable, Google Analytics helps us understand visits, page usage, and tool interactions so we can improve the site. Google may process information such as page URLs, browser and device details, approximate location derived from network information, and interaction events. It may set identifiers such as _ga and a property-specific _ga_*cookie. Retention depends on our Analytics settings, your browser choices, and Google's policies.
Necessary cookies
When account features are enabled, Clerk may set first-party or provider cookies to authenticate you, maintain a secure session, prevent abuse, and complete sign-in or sign-out. These may include __session (a short-lived session token that is refreshed while a session is active), __client or __client_uat(authentication state whose lifetime depends on browser and session settings), and_cfuvid on Clerk endpoints (Cloudflare security and traffic management). Blocking them may prevent account and cloud workspace features from working.
Browser storage
- IndexedDB and local storage: keep projects, inventory, editor and export preferences, sync revision data, and browser-side service settings on this device.
- Session storage: temporarily transfers a pattern between tools in the same browser session.
Creative data remains on your device until you delete it in the product or clear site data in your browser. Session storage is normally removed when the browser tab or session ends. Google CMP consent records remain according to Google's consent-management behavior and can be changed through the Privacy choices link.
Your controls
You can block or delete cookies and site data using your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out or remove locally saved projects and preferences. The “Privacy choices” link in the footer lets you review or withdraw Google CMP consent when the Google consent API is available.
