Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for core Website functions and cannot ordinarily be disabled through our cookie banner. They may support security, fraud prevention, network management, shopping-cart functions, checkout, payment processing, and storage of your cookie-consent choices.
Stripe or another payment service may place necessary cookies or use similar technologies when you access payment and checkout functions. Blocking necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the Website from working correctly.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may remember choices such as language, display, form entries, or other preferences. They may also support optional Website functions. If these cookies are disabled, some features may not operate as intended.

For more information, review the Google Privacy Policy and Google’s information for sites and apps using its services.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
We use advertising and marketing technologies to promote Anna Smeda Art and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
These technologies may include:
• Meta advertising through Facebook and Instagram
• Meta Pixel, when installed and active on the Website
• Advertising campaign and conversion measurement
• Retargeting or remarketing
• Audience measurement and creation
• Tracking parameters included in social-media posts, advertisements, and marketing emails

These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, Website activity, purchases, interactions with advertisements, and the website or platform that referred you to us.
We may use this information to:
• Measure advertising performance
• Determine whether an advertisement resulted in a Website visit, inquiry, or purchase

For more information, review the Meta Privacy Policy, Meta Cookie Policy, and Google Privacy Policy.
4. Facebook and Instagram Advertising
We use Facebook and Instagram to promote Anna Smeda Art, display advertisements, and direct visitors to our Website.
Our Meta advertising may use audience-selection tools provided by Meta. Depending on the advertising settings and information available to Meta, advertisements may be shown based on factors such as interests, general location, demographics, or previous interactions with Anna Smeda Art’s social-media accounts or advertisements.
Visits arriving through Facebook or Instagram may be identified as referral traffic through Google Analytics. Links used in social-media posts and advertisements may also contain tracking parameters that help us identify the source and performance of Website traffic.
We may use Meta Pixel and related Meta business tools to measure Website visits, purchases, and other interactions resulting from Facebook and Instagram advertisements.
When Meta Pixel is active, Meta may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about visitors and their interactions with our Website. Depending on our configuration, this information may include:
• Pages or products viewed
• Links or buttons selected
• Items added to a shopping cart
• Checkout activity
• Completed purchases
• Information about the advertisement or platform that referred the visitor
Meta may use the information it receives to provide advertising, measurement, analytics, security, and audience services according to its own privacy and cookie policies. Where legally required, Meta Pixel and associated advertising cookies will not be activated unless you provide consent through our cookie banner.
5. Email Marketing Technologies
We use Sender.net to manage our mailing list and send newsletters and promotional emails.
Marketing emails may contain tracking technologies that allow us and Sender.net to measure whether an email was delivered, opened, or clicked. Sender.net may also process information such as delivery status, link interactions, unsubscribes, bounces, device information, and campaign engagement.
These technologies help us measure email performance, understand subscriber engagement, improve our communications, and maintain the security and deliverability of our email campaigns. Email-open information may not always be accurate because some email providers automatically load or block tracking images.
Newsletter signup forms, landing pages, popups, or other Sender.net features embedded in or linked from our Website may use cookies or similar technologies. Where legally required, nonessential cookies placed through Website-based Sender.net features will be controlled through our cookie-consent system.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in each email.
For more information, review the Sender.net Privacy Policy.
6. Payment and Checkout Technologies
We use Stripe to process payments. Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies for checkout, authentication, fraud prevention, security, and payment processing. We do not receive or store your complete payment-card number.
Stripe processes information under its own policies. Review the Stripe Privacy Policy and Stripe Cookie Policy.

8. Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some cookies and similar technologies are provided by third parties. Those providers may collect or receive information directly from your browser or device and may combine it with information they already hold, subject to their own policies.
We do not control every cookie or technology used by third-party providers. Their cookie names, purposes, and retention periods may change independently of this Policy. Links to third-party policies are provided for convenience and do not mean that we control those providers’ practices.
9. Consent and Cookie Choices
Where required by law, the Website will request your consent before activating nonessential analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent because they are required to provide requested Website functions or maintain security.
Through our cookie banner or preference center, where available, you may:
• Accept all available cookie categories
• Reject nonessential cookies
• Select particular cookie categories
• Withdraw or change a previous consent choice
Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal. Some Website features may not function properly when optional cookies are disabled.
10. Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Browser settings vary, so consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions. Blocking all cookies may interfere with checkout, security, preference, or other Website functions.
You may also manage advertising preferences through tools offered by Meta, Google, your device, or your browser. These third-party controls are operated by their respective providers.
11. U.S. Privacy Choices
Certain advertising activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use of personal information for targeted advertising under some U.S. state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.
Where applicable, you may opt out of these activities through our cookie-preference controls or by contacting us. We will also process legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals where required by applicable law and where our Website is technically able to detect them.
12. Visitors from the EEA, United Kingdom, and Other Regions
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy rules, or similar laws apply, we rely on consent for nonessential analytics, advertising, and marketing cookies where consent is required. You may withdraw consent at any time through the Website’s cookie-preference controls.
Our service providers may process information in the United States or other countries. Additional information about international transfers and your privacy rights is available in our Privacy Policy.
13. Cookie Duration
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose, the provider’s settings, and our Website configuration.
Consent records may be retained for a reasonable period to remember your choices and demonstrate compliance. Provider-controlled retention periods may change; consult the applicable provider’s policy for current information.
14. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our Website, cookie practices, service providers, advertising tools, or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
We will update the applicable service or active-cookie information when new advertising, analytics, payment, or marketing technologies are installed or materially reconfigured.
