Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 October 2026
This policy explains how Przemek Lawin trading as SpriteLab ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels, SDKs) on www.sprite-lab.com, in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the UK GDPR. See our Privacy Policy for more on how we use personal data.
1. Your choices
When you first visit from the UK, EEA or Switzerland, Google shows a consent message. Non-essential cookies are not set, and Google storage is denied, until you accept in that message. You can withdraw consent by emailing support@sprite-lab.com or by clearing cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop login from working.
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you consent, Google Analytics, Google Ads and AdSense are told that storage is denied (ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage = denied). In this state, Google may still receive limited cookieless signals (for example, that a page was viewed) without reading or writing cookies on your device.

Google may set further advertising cookies after you consent, for conversion measurement, ad delivery, frequency capping and fraud prevention. A record of your cookie choice, where the consent tool stores one, is strictly necessary.
Fonts on this site are self-hosted. Loading a page does not request font files from Google.
Third-party sites we link to (for example TikTok) set their own cookies only when you visit them.
4. Advertising
Guide and comparison pages show Google AdSense ads to visitors who are not signed in. Signed-in members never see ads. In the UK and EEA, Google shows personalised ads only if you have consented; otherwise Google may show non-personalised or limited ads, which still use cookies for frequency capping, fraud prevention and measurement where permitted. You can control personalised Google ads at adssettings.google.com (opens in a new tab). Learn more: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites (opens in a new tab).

We will update this policy when we change the cookies we use. Questions: support@sprite-lab.com.
