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.
