Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies cg.artecengine.com uses, and why. We keep this deliberately minimal: the website sets no advertising, profiling or third-party tracking cookies.

Cookies we set

Name	Purpose	Type	Expires
crystal-galleries-session	Identifies your browsing session so the website functions correctly (for example, remembering a contact form you are filling in).	Essential	2 hours
XSRF-TOKEN	Security token that protects forms on this site against cross-site request forgery attacks.	Essential	2 hours

Both cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate, contain no personal information, and are not used to track you across other websites. Because they are essential, they do not require consent under UK GDPR / PECR.

Local storage

When you dismiss our privacy notice banner, we store a single value (cg-privacy-ack) in your browser's local storage so the banner does not reappear. It contains no personal data and never leaves your device.

Analytics

We measure website usage with our own privacy-first system. It uses no cookies at all and stores no personal data: your IP address is never saved, and visits are counted using an anonymised code that changes every day, so you cannot be identified or tracked over time.

Embedded videos

Some pages embed videos from YouTube. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) and the video does not load until you press play. If you play a video, YouTube may then set its own cookies — see Google's privacy policy.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the essential cookies listed above may stop parts of this website (such as the contact form) working correctly.
