Cookie Policy

1. The Quiet Mechanics — What are cookies?

Tiny data fragments—small files, big footprints. When you land on our site, these files settle into your browser so pages load, carts remember, and insights emerge. Some belong to us (first-party); others belong to partners who help us measure, secure, or share the experience.

2. Why we let them in

Essential cookies are the stagehands. They keep the funnel flowing, remember that you’ve granted (or refused) consent, secure each payment, and guard against fraud. Without them—those quiet scripts from Systeme.io, Stripe, PayPal, and the Cookiebot banner—our pages would misfire and your cart would forget its contents mid-journey.

Functional cookies are the memory keepers. They hold your preferences—volume on a video, language on a form—and empower small conveniences like ShareThis buttons and embedded YouTube or Vimeo clips. They don’t follow you around the internet; they simply make sure returning to ArtMethodLab feels familiar, not flat.

Analytics cookies are the cartographers. Google Analytics 4 (and the occasional heat-map tool) tells us how visitors wander, pause, and exit so we can strengthen weak links and polish popular paths. The data arrives aggregated—trend lines, not diary entries—so no single visitor becomes a profile.

Advertising and targeting cookies are the couriers of relevance. If you opt-in, pixels from Meta, LinkedIn, or future ad partners may sketch an anonymous outline of your visit. That outline lets us show you an offer that echoes your interests rather than shouting into the void. Decline them, and the pixels stay silent; the art remains, the chase does not.

3. Your canvas, your call

A banner greets you on first visit—choose Accept all, Reject non-essential, or tailor every shade in between. Change your mind any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

4. Browser brushes & global opt-outs

Prefer to paint with broader strokes? Adjust your browser settings or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-On. Most ad networks (DAA, EDAA, NAI) offer universal opt-out pages.

5. Other traces we may use

Web beacons, pixels, and similar scripts occasionally accompany our cookies. They are silent messengers—counting views, measuring reach, never speaking your name unless you’ve already shared it.

6. How we keep the palette current

Cookiebot rescans artmethodlab.com every 30 days—or sooner when we add a new tool. Each scan refreshes the declaration below and, if needed, prompts this policy to evolve.
