Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to collect information about how a site is used.
Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They cannot access other files on your device. They simply store small pieces of text that a website can read on your next visit.
Some cookies are set directly by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by third-party services that the site uses, such as analytics providers or advertising networks.
SigilCreator.com uses a small number of cookies. The table below lists every cookie this site sets or allows third parties to set through it.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieyes-consent | CookieYes | Stores your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked again on every visit | Necessary | 1 year |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Assigns a unique ID to distinguish individual users for analytics reporting | Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Stores and counts page views within a session | Analytics | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users across sessions; resets each day | Analytics | 24 hours |
| IDE | Google (AdSense) | Used to show you relevant ads and measure whether you clicked on them | Advertising | 13 months |
| test_cookie | Google (AdSense) | Checks whether your browser supports cookies before setting advertising cookies | Advertising | 15 minutes |
This site does not use a login system, user accounts, or any form of session tracking beyond what is listed above. No first-party cookies are set other than the CookieYes consent cookie.
When you click a link to purchase the HD pack on Gumroad, you are leaving this site and entering Gumroad's platform. Any cookies Gumroad sets at that point are governed by Gumroad's own privacy and cookie policies, not this one.
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for basic site functionality. Under GDPR and UK GDPR, they do not require your consent because no viable alternative exists to achieve the same function.
The only strictly necessary cookie on this site is the CookieYes consent cookie (cookieyes-consent). It records the choices you make in the cookie consent banner so the site knows not to ask you again. Without it, you would be shown the consent prompt on every page load.
This cookie does not track your behaviour, collect personal data, or share anything with third parties.
Analytics cookies help understand how visitors use this site. SigilCreator.com uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose. The data collected includes which pages were visited, how long visitors stayed, where traffic came from (search, direct, referral), and general device and browser type.
This data is aggregated and used only to understand site performance and improve the tool. It is not used to build advertising profiles.
Google Analytics sets three cookies on this site: _ga, _ga_*, and _gid. The _ga and _ga_* cookies persist for two years; _gid resets after 24 hours.
Google may process analytics data outside the UK and EEA. Where this occurs, Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses as a lawful transfer mechanism. You can review Google's data processing terms at policies.google.com.
Analytics cookies are only placed after you provide consent, except where applicable law does not require it.
SigilCreator.com uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense uses cookies to show ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across websites. This is known as interest-based or personalised advertising.
Two advertising cookies may be set: IDE (which lasts 13 months and is used for ad targeting and measurement) and test_cookie (a 15-minute cookie that simply checks whether your browser accepts cookies before any advertising cookies are placed).
Advertising cookies involve profiling based on your browsing behaviour across multiple websites. Under GDPR and UK GDPR, this requires your explicit consent before any such cookies are placed. Under CCPA, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, which this type of tracking may constitute.
If you do not consent to advertising cookies, you will still see ads on the site — they will just not be personalised to your interests.
When you first visit SigilCreator.com, a consent banner will appear. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose your preferences by category. Your choice is saved in the cookieyes-consent cookie and respected on future visits. You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in the site footer.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified before a cookie is placed. Instructions vary by browser; check your browser's help section for guidance.
Opting out of Google Analytics across all websites is possible by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available from Google.
For interest-based advertising, US residents can opt out via the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info. EU and UK residents can use the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out at youronlinechoices.com.
Blocking or deleting cookies will not prevent the site from working, but it may mean your consent preferences are not remembered.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
The legal basis for analytics cookies is consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR / GDPR). The legal basis for strictly necessary cookies is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)), as these are essential to operating the consent management function.
To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@sigilcreator.com. Requests will be responded to within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). In the EU, it is the data protection authority in your country of residence.
SigilCreator.com is operated by a solo independent creator. It does not have a formal EU or UK establishment, but it is accessible to users in those regions and is committed to complying with applicable data protection law.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) gives you the following rights:
Google AdSense may involve the sharing of personal information (specifically, cookie-based identifiers and browsing data) with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising purposes. Under CCPA, this may qualify as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information even if no money changes hands.
To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you can adjust your cookie preferences via the cookie settings link in the site footer and select to reject advertising cookies. You may also opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info.
To exercise your other CCPA rights, contact hello@sigilcreator.com. You will not be charged a fee and will not receive worse service for exercising these rights.
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services. This site has no direct control over those cookies once you interact with those services. The relevant third parties and links to their privacy and cookie policies are listed below:
Each of these parties may collect and process data according to their own terms, which may include data processing outside the UK and EEA.
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies used, changes in applicable law, or new services added to the site. The most current version will always be available at this URL. Significant changes will be noted in the cookie consent banner so returning visitors are made aware.
