This Cookie Policy explains how Bent Pixels, Inc. (“Bent Pixels,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites, creator portals, and other online services that link to this policy (collectively, the “Services”).

This policy should be read with our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information.

1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

These technologies help us measure site use and performance. They may collect pages viewed, referral source, device type, browser type, general location, events, and similar usage information. Where consent is required, we do not activate them until the visitor agrees.

Advertising and Marketing

These technologies may measure campaigns, limit repeated ads, or support advertising based on activity across websites or services. Where consent or an opt-out right applies, we honor that choice.

Use of YouTube is governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Where required, YouTube embeds remain blocked until the visitor accepts the relevant cookie category. A placeholder may appear until consent is provided. Visitors can still follow a direct link to YouTube.

6. Your Choices

Cookie Settings

Select “Cookie Settings” or “Your Privacy Choices” in the website footer to accept, reject, or change nonessential cookie categories. Rejecting cookies does not disable strictly necessary technologies.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to delete or block cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect site functions. Browser settings do not always block pixels, local storage, or similar technologies.

Global Privacy Control

We process recognized Global Privacy Control signals as requests to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as required by applicable law. The signal applies to the browser or device sending it.

California Privacy Choices

Bent Pixels does not sell personal information for money. Some advertising or analytics activity may qualify as “sharing” under California law. California residents can opt out through “Your Privacy Choices” or a recognized Global Privacy Control signal. More information appears in our Privacy Policy.

7. Consent Rules

For visitors in locations requiring prior consent, nonessential analytics, advertising, marketing, and embedded-media technologies remain off until the visitor makes an affirmative choice. Rejecting must be as easy as accepting. Visitors can withdraw consent at any time through the footer link. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the change.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices, technologies, or legal duties change. The Effective Date shows when this policy was last revised. Material changes may also be shown through the Services or the consent manager.
