Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Pixlstoryfoundry Ltd uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our informational website (Pixlstoryfoundry.forum). We believe in transparency and detail how we store and access data on your browser to help you make informed decisions regarding your digital privacy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small, secure text files that websites send to and store on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit them. They act as a memory log for web pages, allowing us to recognize your device, remember configurations (such as your consent choices), and gather metrics on how visitors navigate our car-care guides. Cookies can be "Session" cookies (temporary logs erased automatically when you close your browser) or "Persistent" cookies (which remain stored until they reach their configured expiry date or are manually deleted).
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify our digital cookies into two main parameters:
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These cookies are structurally vital to make our platform operate securely and smoothly. They enable base navigation, prevent security threats, validate form tokens, and record your cookie banner preferences. This website cannot function properly without them, and they are deployed automatically upon loading. You can block them through your browser settings, but this may impair your ability to use our site's diagnostic tools.
B. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how drivers interact with our content (such as which seasonal guide is read most frequently, or if certain form validation buttons trigger error notices). They compile aggregated, completely anonymized statistical data. They are only activated if you explicitly select "Accept All" or configure them to active in the management pane of our cookie banner.
3. Specific Cookies Deployed on this Site

4. Third-Party Cookies and Embeds
We work to keep our digital environment clean and free from intrusive ad trackers. However, if we embed interactive third-party elements (such as digital maps for physical bay navigation or social media elements), those providers may deploy their own cookies to monitor performance or associate your profile with their service. We advise reviewing the respective cookie policies of those platforms before interacting with embedded content.
5. How to Manage and Control Cookies via Your Browser
In addition to our custom cookie control banner, you can configure, disable, or delete cookies directly through your web browser. Each application handles cookie permissions differently:
- Google Chrome: Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies to configure blocking parameters.
- Apple Safari: Navigate to Preferences > Privacy and opt to block cookies or manage local storage data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Access Settings > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection to control tracking scripts and cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
6. Policy Scope & Contact Details
We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect technical, functional, or legal adjustments to our systems. We recommend reviewing this document regularly to stay informed. For any cookie management inquiries, please write to our technical administrator:
