Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 21, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site operators.
Cookies may be "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that operate content on the page ("third-party cookies").
2. How We Use Cookies
CNG Studios LLC ("CNG Studios," "we," "us") uses a minimal number of cookies on our websites. We categorize them as follows:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our websites. They cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner is not shown again | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our websites, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate the site. This helps us improve the experience.
As of the last update of this policy, we do not actively use analytics tracking on cngstudios.com. However, we may add analytics services (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) in the future. If we do, this policy will be updated accordingly, and analytics cookies will require your consent before being placed.
Third-Party Cookies
Our websites may embed content from third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:
- YouTube — Video embeds on our site are loaded with privacy-enhanced mode (using youtube-nocookie.com where possible) and lazy-loaded to minimize cookie placement until you interact with a video. YouTube may set cookies when a video is played. These cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Social media widgets — Links to platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Spotify, and others may load external resources. Each platform has its own cookie and privacy policy.
We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for how these services handle your data. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our site.
3. Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner asking you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choices are as follows:
- Accept all — All cookie categories (essential, analytics, and third-party) will be enabled.
- Reject non-essential — Only essential cookies required for basic site functionality will be placed. Third-party embeds that set cookies may be blocked or loaded only on interaction.
Your consent preference is stored in an essential cookie so your choice is remembered on future visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the consent banner again.
4. Managing Cookies
In addition to using our consent banner, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our websites.
5. Third-Party Services
CNG Studios websites link to and embed content from various third-party services. These services operate independently and have their own privacy and cookie policies:
- YouTube / Google — Video hosting and playback. Videos are lazy-loaded and use privacy-enhanced embed mode where possible.
- Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music — Music streaming links. These are outbound links; no cookies are set unless you visit those platforms.
- Amazon / Kindle — Book purchase links. Outbound links to Amazon product pages.
- Social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Bluesky) — Profile links. No embedded widgets that set cookies; these are standard outbound links.
We are not responsible for the data practices of any third-party service. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before interacting with their content.
6. Newsletter
CNG Studios operates a self-hosted email newsletter system. When you subscribe to our newsletter:
- Your email address is stored on our servers with your explicit consent
- No cookies are placed on your device as part of the newsletter subscription process
- Newsletter emails may contain tracking pixels to measure open rates and engagement, which is standard practice for email marketing
- You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in every newsletter email or by contacting us directly
We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
7. Changes to This Policy
CNG Studios reserves the right to update this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we begin using new categories of cookies (such as analytics), we will update this policy and present the consent banner again so you can make an informed choice.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
