Cookie Policy
What we store on your device, and why
Last updated: September 2, 2026 · Version 1.0
This Cookie Policy explains how Digizine Kids uses cookies and similar storage. A cookie is a small file stored on a device. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the service to work; others are optional and used only where consent is given.
Child-facing experience
On any page a child can reach after signing in, Digizine Kids uses only strictly necessary first-party cookies and storage. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, third-party analytics, session replay, social plug-ins, fingerprinting, or behavioral profiling on child-facing surfaces.

All cookies above are first-party. We do not set third-party cookies anywhere a child can go. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent under applicable law, but we still list them here so you know exactly what is stored.
Marketing site choices
On public pre-login marketing pages, where required by law, we show a cookie banner with equal Accept and Reject choices and no pre-ticked boxes. Non-essential cookies stay off until selected. A visitor may change cookie choices at any time through the cookie banner shown on this site.
Changes
If we add or change a cookie, we update this register before the change goes live and re-request consent where the law requires it.
