This Cookie Policy explains how Artfull Houses (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://artfullhouses.com/ (“Website”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how visitors can control them.
What are cookies
- Cookies are small text files placed on a device when a website is loaded in a browser. They help the site function properly, improve security, enhance the user experience, and provide insights into site performance and usage.
- Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) or “persistent” cookies (stored until they expire or are deleted).
- Cookies set by Artfull Houses are “first‑party” cookies; cookies set by other domains (e.g., analytics, advertising, embedded content) are “third‑party” cookies.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
- Enable core site functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and preference saving (strictly necessary).
- Measure traffic and performance to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve content and layout (analytics).
- Personalize content or remember choices such as language, region, or view preferences (functional).
- Deliver relevant marketing, limit repeat ads, and measure campaign effectiveness if/when advertising is used (advertising).
Types of cookies we may use

Similar technologies
We may use web beacons, pixels, local storage, and scripts to measure Website performance, store preferences, or support features. These operate similarly to cookies and can be managed through the same controls where feasible.
Third‑party cookies
Some features may set cookies from third parties (for example, analytics providers, embedded videos, social media widgets, or advertising partners). These third parties may collect data per their own policies. When present, details are listed in the Cookie Settings panel or the cookie table on this page. You can manage consent for these cookies at any time.
How to control cookies
- On‑site controls: Use the “Cookie Settings” or consent banner on our Website to accept, reject, or customize non‑essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
- Browser controls: Most browsers let users block or delete cookies. Instructions are typically found in the browser’s help menu. Blocking some cookies may impact site functionality.
- Analytics opt‑outs: Some analytics providers offer their own opt‑out tools. If we use such services, links will be provided in the Cookie Settings or cookie table.
- Advertising preferences: Users can manage ad personalization in platform settings (e.g., Google Ads Settings) or industry opt‑out pages where available.
International users and consent
Where required by applicable law (e.g., GDPR/ePrivacy in the EEA/UK), non‑essential cookies are not set unless and until consent is given. Users can withdraw consent at any time through Cookie Settings with effect for the future.
Retention and expiration
Cookie lifespans vary. Session cookies expire when the browser is closed; persistent cookies remain until their set expiration date or manual deletion. Specific durations are listed in the Cookie Settings or cookie table when available.
