Cookies · Lovalty Art

01Our approach

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. We use only strictly necessary cookies: ones without which a feature you've asked for — signing in, paying, remembering a love — couldn't work. We don't use analytics, advertising or social tracking cookies, and we don't let third parties track you through our site.

02The cookies we use

Cookie	Purpose	Lasts
`__Host-lovalty-art-session`	Keeps an artist signed in to their studio. Holds a random token only.	Up to 30 days
`__Host-lovalty-art-oauth`	Protects sign-in with Instagram, Google or Apple against forgery while you're away at the provider.	10 minutes, deleted after use
`lovalty-art-visitor`	Set only when you tap the heart on a work, so we remember which works you've loved. A random identifier, nothing else.	1 year
Stripe cookies	Set by Stripe during checkout to process payment securely and prevent fraud.	See Stripe's cookie policy

In local development, the first two cookies drop the `__Host-` prefix; they work the same way.

03Why there's no cookie banner

UK law (regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) requires consent for cookies unless they're strictly necessary to provide a service you've explicitly requested. Every cookie above falls into that exemption, so there's nothing to consent to — and no banner to dismiss.

The love cookie is only ever set at the moment you tap the heart. If you never tap it, it's never set.

04Your control

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block them, you won't be able to sign in or remember loves, but you can still browse works and buy them.
