Cookie Policy
Studio
Artesania, like most websites, uses cookies to distinguish you from other users
of our site. This helps us to improve your experience when you browse our blog
and also allows us to improve our website. By using cookies, the website is
essentially able to remember you during a single visit to the site, known as a session cookie, or for repeat visits, known as
persistent cookies.
Cookies
are used for a number of reasons such as making your use of the site faster and
easier, storing your preferences, recognizing
if you have visited the site before or if you have already logged in once,
rather than asking you to log in to every page you visit.
What’s a cookie?
Cookies
are small, often encrypted text files, located in browser directories, the hard
drive of your computer or your mobile device if you agree. Each cookie is
unique to your web browser. They are used by web developers to help users
navigate their websites efficiently and perform certain functions.
Cookies
are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends
information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user
goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the
website's server. Computer Cookies are created not just by the website the user
is browsing but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements
on the page being loaded. These cookies regulate how the ads appear or how the
widgets and other elements function on the page.
Cookies
record how you move your way around a
website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options
based on the information stored about
your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyze
traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes. In general, cookies are
used to retain user preferences, store information for things like shopping
carts, and provide anonymized tracking
data to third party applications like Google Analytics. Cookies are used by
nearly all websites and do not harm your system.
Cookies
do not usually contain personal information. Cookies may, however, be used in
combination with other information to identify you. If you require further
information about cookies in general, please visit the About Cookies website.

there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website

• Performance
cookies -
These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website.
For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see
which parts of the site are most popular.
• Functionality
cookies -
These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide
enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or
updates relevant to the services you use. They may also be used to provide

The information these cookies collect is usually anonymized.
Third parties cookies
Please
note that third parties who advertise on our website (including, for example,
advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic
analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These
cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
Google Analytics
Studio
Artesania uses Google Analytics to measure
traffic, track
website performance and user behavior. It provides information on page views,
referral sources, and other valuable information that helps us adapt the
content for this website. Google Analytics does capture anonymous data about
location, age, gender, and interests, but we have no way to connect that
information and specifically identify you. Google Analytics may also capture
your IP address as you make your way around this website. User and event data
is retained for 26 months and then is automatically deleted. You can read more
about that here.
Google has their own Privacy Policy
which you can review here. If you’d like to opt out of tracking by Google
Analytics, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page.
