1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They are widely used by online platforms to make websites work efficiently, provide secure authentication, and supply reporting insights to site operators.
In addition to cookies, we may use HTML5 Local Storage to persist user interface preferences (such as remembering whether your dashboard sidebar is collapsed or your selected search filters) without transmitting that data on every single HTTP server request.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We deploy cookies and local storage for three primary reasons:
- Authentication & Session Continuity: To keep you securely logged into your creator or client account as you navigate between pages.
- Platform Security: To prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks on booking forms and account settings.
- Analytics & Performance: To understand how visitors discover visual creators, which categories are most active, and where page load bottlenecks occur.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of MLFRAMES. They enable core functions such as user login, session routing, and security tokens. Without these cookies, services like sending an enquiry, uploading a portfolio image, or booking gear cannot be provided. These cookies do not require prior consent under GDPR.
B. Functional & Preference Technologies
These technologies allow MLFRAMES to remember choices you make (such as UI collapse toggles, location proximity filters, or cookie consent choices) and deliver enhanced, personalized features.
C. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors navigate and interact with MLFRAMES (for example, which public pages are visited most often and whether users receive error alerts). All data collected is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you directly.

5. Google Analytics (gtag.js)
We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-P7WN934KLY) to analyze website traffic. Google Analytics stores cookies on your device to generate aggregated reports on user interactions. IP addresses collected by Google Analytics are anonymized.
You can reject analytics cookies at any time via our floating cookie consent banner or by clicking the Cookie Settings button above.
6. Managing & Controlling Your Choices
You can adjust your cookie settings through multiple methods:
- MLFRAMES Cookie Settings:

7. Changes to this Policy & Contact
We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect technological or regulatory advancements. Continued use of MLFRAMES following updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
