COOKIE_POLICY // SML

This page explains how Scarlett Media Lab uses cookies and similar browser storage on scarlettmedialab.com.

At the moment, we do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking cookies. The cookie consent system exists so that non-essential features can be controlled properly, including if analytics are added in the future.

// 01. HOW CONSENT WORKS

On your first visit, our cookie panel lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage individual categories.

Your consent choice is stored in your browser so the site can remember your preference. We do not currently use it to create a server-side consent record. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the site footer.

Policy version: 2026-06-03. If we make material changes to what we store or how cookie categories work, we may ask you to confirm your choices again.

// 02. COOKIE CATEGORIES

Necessary cookies are always active. They are required for basic site operation and to remember your consent choice.

Preferences cookies are optional. They remember small interface choices, such as whether you have already seen the intro sequence.

Analytics cookies are optional and off by default. Scarlett Media Lab does not currently use analytics cookies.

Marketing cookies are optional and off by default. Scarlett Media Lab does not currently use marketing, advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking cookies.

// 03. COOKIES AND BROWSER STORAGE WE USE

Name Type Category Purpose Duration
sml_consent localStorage and first-party cookie Necessary Stores your cookie consent choices, timestamp, and policy version. 365 days
sml_boot_seen First-party cookie Preferences Remembers that you have seen the intro sequence so it is not replayed on every visit. 24 hours

// 04. WHAT WE DO NOT CURRENTLY USE

Scarlett Media Lab does not currently use:

  • Google Analytics or similar analytics cookies
  • Advertising cookies
  • Retargeting pixels
  • Social media marketing pixels
  • Third-party embeds that set tracking cookies, such as YouTube, Google Maps, or live chat widgets

If analytics or other non-essential services are added in future, they will only load where required consent has been given.

// 05. THIRD-PARTY ASSETS

Some site assets, such as scripts or fonts, may be loaded from our own domain or from third-party content delivery networks. These are used to deliver the site interface and are not used by Scarlett Media Lab for advertising or tracking.

We do not share your cookie consent record with third-party advertisers.

// 06. YOUR CHOICES

You can:

  • use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen the consent panel
  • clear site data in your browser to reset your stored choices
  • block or delete cookies through your browser settings

Blocking necessary cookies or browser storage may affect basic site behaviour.

For information about how we handle personal data submitted through the contact form, see our Privacy Policy.

// 07. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We update this policy when our cookie or browser storage inventory changes. The policy version stored with your consent choice helps identify which wording applied when you made your decision.
