Right, let's talk cookies - and no, sadly not the edible kind. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones are used on paulwakefieldart.com, and what you can do about them if you'd rather not have them along for the ride.

1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner. Cookies cannot harm your device and do not contain any personally identifiable information on their own.

2. What Cookies Does This Website Use?
I do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party tracking or advertising cookies on this website. I have no interest in following you around the internet - I'd much rather you just came back to look at the art!

The only cookies present on this website are those set by the Weblium platform, which powers this website and its e-commerce shop. These are strictly necessary for the website and shop to function correctly.

Strictly Necessary Cookies (Weblium Platform)
These cookies are essential for the website to operate. Without them, core features such as the shopping cart, checkout process, and secure payment handling would not work. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies are set automatically and cannot be disabled without breaking the site's functionality.

These cookies are managed by Weblium as the platform provider. For full details of Weblium's own cookie practices, you can refer to the Weblium Cookie Policy.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. As I am not using tracking cookies, any future changes are likely to be minor, but it is worth checking back occasionally.
