This Cookie Policy explains how CRE 8, LLC d/b/a cre8 (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on cre8.agency. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. “Similar technologies” include pixels, tags, and local storage that work the same way.
How we manage your consent
Non-essential cookies load only after you opt in. When you first visit the Site, a consent banner (managed via the CookieYes Consent Management Platform together with Google Consent Mode v2) lets you accept or reject each category. Until you accept, advertising and analytics storage are denied by default.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the Site footer.
Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Loads before consent? |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Core functionality, security, bot/abuse prevention (Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA/Turnstile), and remembering your consent choice | Yes — required for the Site to work |
| Functional | Embedded forms and interactive features (e.g., contact/support form embeds) | No — consent required |
| Analytics | Understanding how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity; Plausible is cookieless) | No — consent required |
| Advertisement | Measuring campaigns and showing relevant ads on other platforms (Google Ads, LinkedIn) | No — consent required |
Third-party services that may set cookies

- Plausible — privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics

Representative cookie list
The authoritative, always-current inventory is maintained by our consent scanner and shown in the consent banner’s details panel. A representative sample:
| Cookie | Set by | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookieyes-consent | CookieYes | Necessary | 1 year |
_ga, _ga_<id> | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | up to 2 years |

li_* / bcookie | Advertisement | up to ~1 year | |
__cf_bm / cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Necessary | session – ~30 min |
Durations are approximate and set by the third party; the live consent banner reflects the current values.
Managing cookies in your browser
Beyond our consent banner, most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking necessary cookies may break parts of the Site. Guides are available from each browser vendor (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
