1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the Platform remember your preferences, keep you signed in, protect your account, and understand how the Platform is used. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and session storage where appropriate.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable core Platform features such as sign-in, shopping cart, checkout, and account management.
• Keep the Platform secure and help prevent fraudulent activity.
• Remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.
• Understand how visitors use the Platform so we can improve performance and content.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as signing in, adding items to your cart, or completing a purchase. They include, for example:

• Session cookies — maintain your logged-in session and support features such as My Art Board and checkout.
• CSRF / security cookies — help protect forms and transactions from unauthorized requests.

Functional cookies

These cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For example:

• Remembering Art Board and account-related preferences.
• Storing display or device-related settings where needed to improve layout and usability.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform, which pages are visited, and whether users encounter errors. This information is used in aggregate to improve the Platform. We may use first-party analytics cookies such as:

• _sv_user_id — a pseudonymous identifier used for analytics and session continuity (up to 365 days).
• _sv_utm_params — stores campaign attribution parameters when you arrive via a marketing link (up to 30 days).

Marketing and advertising cookies

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party partners to measure campaign performance and show relevant advertising. They may track your visit across websites. On the Platform, this may include services such as:

• Google Analytics and Google Ads.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, including analytics, advertising, and social login providers (such as Google and Facebook). These third parties may use cookies to collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites.

We do not control how third parties use cookies. Please review the privacy and cookie policies of those providers for more information about their practices.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings — most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the Platform may not work correctly.
• Device settings — on mobile devices, you may be able to limit tracking through your operating system settings.
• Third-party opt-outs — analytics and advertising providers may offer their own opt-out tools. For example, you can review Google’s ads settings and Meta’s ad preferences in your account with those services.

If you clear cookies, you may need to sign in again and some preferences may be reset.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The latest version will always be available on this page.
