The Short Version
Nothing beyond what this site needs to work is placed on your device unless you have said yes first. Refusing is one click, exactly like accepting, and it costs you nothing here.
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. Similar technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels, software development kits — do much the same job, and everything on this page applies to all of them.
What We Place, and Why
Everything below is grouped by what it is for. Only the first group is switched on without asking, because the site cannot work without it.
Essential — strictly necessary cookies
These are needed for the site to load, stay secure, and honour the choice you make about everything else. They hold no advertising identifiers and are never used to build a picture of you. Because the site cannot function without them, they stay on and are exempt from consent under UK and EU rules.
- mystorya_consent — Remembers what you allowed, so you are not asked on every page. Placed by Mystorya (first party), kept for 6 months.
Preferences — functionality cookies
These remember choices you have already made so the site feels the same each time you return. Turning them off costs you nothing except having to make those choices again.
Nothing in this group is in use at the moment. If that changes, this page and the choices you are offered will change with it, and nothing will run for you unless you have allowed it.
How the site is used — analytics or performance cookies
These would tell us which pages people reach and where they lose their way, so the site can become clearer over time. They are never used to identify you, and nothing here is placed unless you allow it.
Nothing in this group is in use at the moment. If that changes, this page and the choices you are offered will change with it, and nothing will run for you unless you have allowed it.
What you see elsewhere — advertising or targeting cookies
These would let advertising platforms recognise a browser across sites, so we can tell whether an ad brought someone to Mystorya and avoid showing the same one repeatedly. Nothing here is placed unless you allow it, and we do not sell or share personal information for money.

Changing Your Mind
Withdrawing is as easy as agreeing. Select “Cookie choices” in the footer of any page to reopen the same options and change any of them.
When you switch something off, anything we placed for it is removed straight away rather than at your next visit.
You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the essential ones may stop parts of the site working, including our ability to remember that you asked us not to place anything else.
Signals We Listen For
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we treat it as a refusal of everything optional. You are not asked again, and nothing beyond the essentials is placed.
We Do Not Sell or Share Your Information
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are used in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and similar state laws. Because nothing optional runs until you allow it, choosing “Only what’s essential” is already a complete opt-out.
How Long Your Choice Stands
Your decision is remembered for 6 months, after which we ask again. We also ask again whenever this policy changes in substance, so an old yes is never carried over to something new.
We keep a record of what was chosen and when, so we can show that a choice was freely made. That record holds no name or email address.
The Mystorya App
This page covers the website. The Mystorya app does not use cookies; what it stores on your device, and what it shares, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
If what we place changes, this page is updated first and you are asked again before anything new runs. The date at the top always reflects the most recent change.
