1. How choices work
AI-ARTS uses necessary cookies and browser storage to keep accounts secure, remember your privacy decision and provide features you request. Optional analytics and external media stay off until you choose them. Accept all, Reject all and Manage preferences are equally available.
2. Categories
- Necessary: authentication, security, consent evidence and essential navigation. These cannot be switched off through the banner because the service would not work safely.
- Preferences: optional remembered display or feature choices beyond a choice you directly ask the interface to remember.
- Analytics: optional measurement of service use. When you opt in, Google Analytics measures visits and page use so AI-ARTS can understand and improve the service.
- Marketing / External Media: third-party media such as YouTube embeds. AI-ARTS does not currently run behavioural advertising.

4. External services
Google Analytics (third party, Analytics) stays completely off until you opt into Analytics. After consent, it receives limited device, request and page-use information so AI-ARTS can understand visits and improve the service. AI-ARTS does not send names, email addresses, artist slugs, artwork content or form values to Google Analytics.
Cloudflare Turnstile (third party, Necessary) checks whether protected requests appear legitimate and helps prevent automated abuse. When a protected form or sign-in route is used, Cloudflare may receive request, device and interaction data needed for that security check.
YouTube (third party, Marketing / External Media) videos stay blocked until you allow external media. AI-ARTS uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced player where available. When you load or use a video, YouTube may receive device, request and interaction information and may use storage under its own notice.
See the Privacy Notice for more about provider processing and international transfers.
5. Withdrawal, expiry and browser signals
Use Cookie settings in the footer or the button above to change or withdraw optional choices. Withdrawing a category stops AI-ARTS from creating that optional integration on later page activity; information already processed remains subject to the provider’s retention and applicable law.
Choices expire after 180 days and are requested again when this notice version changes. When the browser sends Global Privacy Control, Analytics and Marketing / External Media remain off while that signal is active.
