Like most websites, we use cookies to make Art Kelen work, to remember you between visits, and to understand which parts of the site are useful. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or sharing your activity with third-party trackers.
01 — What Cookies Are
A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to store, so it can recognise you on your next visit. Some cookies last only for a single session and disappear when you close the browser; others persist for a set period.
02 — Strictly Necessary Cookies
These run the platform. Without them, you could not log in, your shopping cart could not remember its contents, and security tokens that protect your account would not work. They cannot be turned off — without them, the site cannot operate.
03 — Functional Cookies
These remember choices you have made — your language, your preferred currency, whether you have dismissed a banner. They are not strictly required, but the site is much more pleasant with them.
04 — Analytics
We use a privacy-respecting, self-hosted analytics tool to understand which pages are visited most, which artists collectors browse, and where readers find our editorial. The analytics do not identify you personally and we do not share the data with anyone.
05 — Third-Party Cookies
The only third-party cookies on Art Kelen come from our payment processor (Stripe, when you reach the checkout) and from embedded video players (when an editorial article includes one). We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising trackers.
06 — Managing Cookies
You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, the site will not work. For everything else, blocking is fine — you may just see fewer remembered preferences.
