Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on InkFreakz are set by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices:
We do not control third-party cookies and cannot be held responsible for their use. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for managing cookies:
- Cookie Consent Tool: When you first visit InkFreakz, you can choose which categories of cookies to accept or decline using our cookie consent banner
- Account Settings: Logged-in users can update their cookie preferences in Account Settings > Privacy
- Browser Settings: You can control cookies directly through your browser settings (see below)
- Opt-Out Links: For Google Analytics, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

| Google Chrome | Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data |
| Mozilla Firefox | Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data |

Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals websites not to track your browsing activity. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.
At this time, InkFreakz does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, you can manage your tracking preferences through our cookie consent tool or browser settings as described above.
Mobile & App Tracking
If you access InkFreakz through a mobile browser, the same cookie policy applies. Mobile browsers offer similar cookie management options through their settings menus.
If InkFreakz offers a native mobile application in the future, that app may use mobile advertising identifiers (such as Apple's IDFA or Google's AAID) in addition to cookies. This policy will be updated accordingly when a mobile app is released.
Policy Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Reviewed" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a notice on the platform.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
