Cookies, kept simple.

Your choice comes first
When you first visit, we ask before loading anything non-essential. Until you click Accept, no analytics or advertising cookies are set (we use Google Consent Mode with everything defaulted to denied). Click Reject and it stays that way. The site works exactly the same.

The cookies we use
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| av_consent | Art Vault (essential) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies, so we don't ask again | ~6 months |
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Conversion tracking: links a sign-up back to the advert you clicked (only after you accept) | 90 days |
| _ga, _ga_<id>, _gid | Google Analytics 4 | Measures site usage (only if GA4 is enabled and only after you accept) | up to 2 years |
| _fbp | Meta Pixel | Ad measurement, only present if/when the Meta Pixel is switched on, and only after you accept | 90 days |
The av_consent cookie is strictly necessary (it records your choice), so it doesn't require consent. Everything else is advertising/analytics and is consent-gated.
Web fonts
We load Inter and JetBrains Mono from Google Fonts, which shares your IP address with Google to serve the font files. We plan to self-host these to remove that transfer.
