What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your browser the first time you visit. On subsequent visits the site can read them back. We also use a couple of similar technologies — local storage and session storage — that work the same way for our purposes.

Cookies don't carry viruses or read other data on your device. They simply help the site remember things between page loads.

What we use them for

KreatorsFactory uses cookies for three jobs only:

• Keeping you signed in— once you log in, we set a short-lived access token (15 minutes) and a longer refresh token (7 days) so you don't have to type your password on every page.
• Remembering preferences — your theme (dark / light), last-used face, and similar small UI choices.
• Site safety — basic anti-fraud and anti-abuse signals so we can stop bots, brute-force attempts, and the like.

We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural tracking across other websites, or building a profile of you for sale.

The cookies we set

These are all set directly by KreatorsFactory (first-party). All are essential for the site to work.

• kreatorsfactory_access — your short-lived authentication token. Expires after 15 minutes.
• kreatorsfactory_refresh— used to silently get a new access token while you're still active. Expires after 7 days or when you log out, whichever comes first.
• kreatorsfactory_admin — only set when you log in to the admin panel at kreatorsfactory.com/admin. Same lifetime as the regular tokens but separated to keep admin sessions isolated.
• kreatorsfactory_theme — your dark / light mode preference. Lives until you change it or clear your browser data.

Third-party cookies

Some pages embed services that may set their own cookies. We keep this minimal:

• Payment provider cookiesappear only when you start a checkout flow with Paystack, Flutterwave, Korapay, Cryptomus, NOWPayments, or Circle. They're used to complete your payment and we don't see the data. See each provider's privacy page for details.
• Sign in with Googlesets Google cookies during authentication. Governed by Google's own privacy policy.

We do not embed Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising networks, or any tracking SDK that profiles you across sites.

How to control cookies

Every modern browser lets you block, delete, or be warned about cookies. Look in Settings → Privacy in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or your browser of choice.

Heads up: if you block the KreatorsFactory auth cookies, you won't be able to stay logged in. The site will fall back to asking you to log in on every page.

Changes

If we add or remove cookies in the future, we'll update this page. Material changes will also be announced by email to registered users.
