1. What are cookies and why do we use them?

 

Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that can be placed on your computer or mobile device, which uniquely identifies your browser or device. Cookies allow a site or service to know if your computer or device has visited it before. These technologies can then be used to deliver products, services, and ads, help us understand how the site or service is being used, help you navigate between pages efficiently, help us remember your preferences, and generally improve your experience of using Artpic. 

 

2. What kind of cookies do we use?

 

The cookies we use on our website fall into one of four categories:

• Essential Cookies let you use essential features and functions. It is not possible to use Artpic without them.

​

• Functional cookies are cookies used to remember choices you make and improve your experience.

3. How long will cookies stay on your device?

 

The length of time that a cookie will stay on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie.
