COOKIE POLICY

1. Introduction

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, monitor performance, and deliver relevant advertising. This Cookie Policy explains how Golden Element Solutions Limited ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on uk.my-artstore.com (the “Platform”) and describes your choices regarding their use. This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. We comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

2. Use of Cookies

2.1 When you visit the Platform, we may store a range of cookies—including first‑party and third‑party cookies—on your device. These cookies help us protect and enhance your experience, understand how our site is used and, where applicable, tailor advertisements to your interests.

2.2 We carefully vet all third‑party providers who set cookies on our site and require them to respect your privacy and process data in compliance with applicable laws.

3. Obtaining Your Consent

The first time you land on the Platform you will see a cookie banner asking you to accept or reject non‑essential cookies. We will not set analytics, functionality or advertising cookies unless and until you give us explicit consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time via our Cookie Management Tool (accessible from every page footer) or through your browser settings.

By continuing to browse uk.my-artstore.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy and consent to our use of cookies as described above, unless you have adjusted your settings to refuse them.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

• Essential Cookies – absolutely necessary for the Platform to operate (for example, keeping you logged in and processing payments). Without these cookies, core functionality would fail.
• Visitor Cookies – support our security measures by helping identify and authenticate users and protect the Platform from malicious activity.
• Analytics Cookies – collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site (e.g., page views, session length). We currently use Google Analytics. Data is anonymised and helps us improve layout and performance. You can opt‑out by installing Google’s browser add‑on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Advertising Cookies – set by advertising partners such as Google Ads to build a profile of your interests and display relevant ads across the internet. You can adjust Google advertising preferences here: https://adssettings.google.com.

When these third‑party cookies are deployed, certain usage data may be shared with the relevant provider for analytics, marketing and personalisation. Each provider is contractually bound to respect rigorous data‑protection standards. Consult their respective privacy policies for details.

5. Data Security and Privacy

Cookies we place are encrypted at rest and in transit. Although cookies themselves do not contain personally identifiable information, they may be linked to other personal data we hold about you (for example, your account ID) in order to provide the services you request.

6. Your Options and How to Manage Cookies

You can withdraw or modify your cookie preferences at any time:

• Cookie Management Tool – click “Cookie Preferences” in the footer to reopen the banner and adjust settings.
• 2. Browser Settings – most browsers let you block or delete cookies via preference panels. Guidance for major browsers is available at https://www.allaboutcookies.org. Be aware that disabling Essential Cookies may impair key features of the Platform such as checkout or login.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no uniform standard governing DNT signals, the Platform does not currently respond to them.

8. Policy Updates

We may change this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and display a prominent banner or send an email notice at least 14 days before new terms take effect.
