1. The short version
CreatorBoard sets three cookies, all of them strictly necessary to operate the site, and none of them used to track you across other websites. We set no advertising cookies, and we do not share any cookie with an advertising network or data broker.
2. Essential cookies
These are required for the Service to work. They carry no identifier for you personally, and they cannot be switched off without breaking the page they serve.
cb_network— remembers which platform you last chose from the switch in the header, so the switch can show which one you are on. Expires after 180 days. It never decides what a page shows: that comes from the address you are visiting.cb_switch_to— set for a single request when you use that switch, so the page you land on knows to finish the transition. Read once and deleted immediately; it expires within 30 seconds either way.cb_manage_handoff— set only at the moment a payment is confirmed, to hand your private management link from the payment confirmation to the screen that displays it. It ishttpOnly, readable only by our own server, short-lived, and never set on an ordinary visit.
3. Analytics
We set no analytics cookies. CreatorBoard counts listing page views and outbound clicks to YouTube on the server, in aggregate, against the listing rather than against a visitor. There is no analytics SDK on this site, no third-party tag, and no identifier stored in your browser for measurement.
4. Marketing
We set no marketing or advertising cookies. We do not run retargeting, we do not build an advertising profile of you, and nothing on this site is shared with an ad network.
5. Storage that is not a cookie
A few preferences are kept in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie. The difference matters: local storage is never attached to a request, so none of this is ever sent to us or to anyone else — it stays on the device you are reading this on, and clearing your browser data removes it.
- your cookie choice itself, so you are not asked again on every page,
- your light or dark theme, and
- any channels you save while browsing, which are visible only to you and are never uploaded.
6. Changing your mind
Your choice can be changed at any time, and changing it is exactly as easy as making it was: reopens the dialog with your current choice already shown. The same control is in the site footer on every page.
Because the only cookies we set are the essential ones described in Section 2, rejecting the optional categories changes nothing about what is stored today. The categories exist so that your decision is already on record if that ever changes.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking the essential cookies above will not stop you reading the site, but the platform switch will forget which one you chose, and a payment confirmation will not be able to show you your management link.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
