Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how MyStdio, a product of Zyon Entertainment Pty Ltd (ABN 24 640 498 997, 383 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia) ("MyStdio," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our client portal. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, the choices you have, and how you can change or withdraw your consent at any time.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage (localStorage) to store information on your device. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as "cookies."
Types of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into four categories: Necessary (Essential), Functional, Analytics, and Marketing. Necessary cookies are always active because the platform cannot function without them. Analytics and Marketing cookies, and any related tracking pixels or scripts, are not set or activated until you affirmatively opt in to that category through our cookie banner or the Cookie Settings described below. You can change or withdraw your consent for any category at any time, and doing so takes effect immediately going forward.

Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements, including the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Google Ads. They are set by our advertising partners and are not set, and no marketing pixel or tag fires, until you opt in to the Marketing category.

Meta Pixel and joint controller responsibility. When the Meta Pixel is active (after you opt in to Marketing cookies), we share certain event data with Meta (such as page views and, where applicable, sign-up completions), including through the Meta Conversions API, a server-side channel that mirrors pixel events. For the collection and initial processing of this shared event data, MyStdio and Meta act as joint controllers, as described in Meta's Business Tools Terms and Controller Addendum. Meta's own use of this data for its own purposes (for example, to improve its advertising products) is governed by Meta's Privacy Policy, and Meta acts as an independent controller for that further use.
Third-Party Services
Our platform integrates with the following third-party services that may set their own cookies or otherwise process data on our behalf.
- Video hosting and content delivery. Our video hosting and content-delivery provider may set cookies for video functionality and performance optimization when a video player loads.
- Security verification. Our bot-protection and security-verification provider sets cookies to distinguish humans from automated traffic.
- Google - Analytics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google Ads) services, where enabled. Sets various cookies for measurement and advertising, subject to your Analytics and Marketing consent choices. Google Cookie Policy

- Error-diagnostics tool (GlitchTip / Sentry-compatible) - A self-hosted error-monitoring tool we use to detect, diagnose, and fix technical issues with the platform. It may set cookies or use local storage needed to associate an error report with your session, and does not use the data for advertising.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Using Our Cookie Settings
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the button below or through the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer. When you withdraw consent for a category, we stop setting new cookies for that category and clear the cookies we previously set for it from your browser.
Browser Settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:
Note: If you block or delete cookies, some features of our platform may not work correctly. Necessary (Essential) cookies are required for the platform to function, and blocking them may prevent you from logging in or using key features.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our platform uses Google's Consent Mode v2 framework, which provides granular consent controls for Google's own services. We recommend using our Cookie Settings to manage your preferences, since this gives you direct, granular control over each category described above, rather than relying on DNT signals.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. If we make material changes, we may request your consent again through our cookie consent banner.
