This policy explains how cineme.ai uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local-storage). It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle the personal data we collect overall.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They're often used to remember preferences (so you don't have to log in every time), to keep your shopping cart between page loads, or to track behaviour across sites. The same legal framework (UK PECR and EU ePrivacy law) also covers other client-side storage such as localStorage and sessionStorage, so we cover those here too.
We use as little client-side storage as we reasonably can. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site. Analytics cookies are off unless you choose Accept analytics, and rejecting them is as easy as accepting. We do not use any advertising cookies, and we have switched off Google's advertising features and Google signals.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cineme_cookie_choice |
Local-storage | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't ask on every visit. | Persistent (until you clear your browser data or change your choice). | No: strictly necessary. |
_ga |
Cookie (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visits and see which pages are used. | 13 months. | Yes: only set if you accept analytics. |
_ga_<ID> |
Cookie (Google Analytics) | Keeps track of the current visit (session) for the same purpose. | 13 months. | Yes: only set if you accept analytics. |
The site sets no other cookies or storage of its own. If we add any, we will update this page first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before we set them.
Some of our pages connect to third-party services to load resources. Apart from Google Analytics (only after you accept), none of these set cookies on cineme.ai for tracking purposes, but you may want to know they exist:
www.googletagmanager.com and send usage data (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type) to Google. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses.fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Per Google's documentation, these endpoints do not set cookies and do not log identifying information about font requests.challenges.cloudflare.com to reduce spam. It may set a short-lived challenge cookie belonging to Cloudflare.You can clear cookies and local-storage at any time using your browser's settings. The exact steps depend on which browser you use — these guides may help:
You can change your mind at any time with the Change your cookie settings button above. If you reject analytics after accepting, we remove the Google Analytics cookies. If you clear the cineme_cookie_choice entry, we will ask again on your next visit.
We do not use behavioural advertising. Analytics only runs if you accept it in our cookie banner, so your choice there is what controls it.
We will update this policy if we add new technologies that fall under it. The version and effective date at the top will change when we do.
If you have a question about cookies on cineme.ai, email ops@cineme.ai.
js/cookie-notice.js. If you add any other tool that uses storage or transmits visitor data, this page must be updated and the tool must also wait for consent before it runs. UK ICO guidance is unambiguous on this.
