This Cookies Policy explains how Catholic Art uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, catholicart.com. It works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to ensure transparency about how we interact with your data. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Cookies Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (e.g., computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites function efficiently, remember your preferences, and sometimes track user behavior. Cookies can be "session" (temporary, deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (stored for a set period).

2. Our Use of Cookies

At Catholic Art, we do not directly use cookies or similar tracking technologies on our website to collect personal information or monitor your behavior. Our focus is on providing a simple, privacy-respecting experience for purchasing religious artwork.

3. Third-Party Cookies

While we do not set cookies ourselves, third-party services integrated into our website may use cookies or similar technologies to enable functionality. For example:

• Stripe: Our payment processor, Stripe, may use cookies to facilitate secure transactions and prevent fraud. These cookies are essential for processing your payments and are managed solely by Stripe.

We do not have control over these third-party cookies, and they are subject to the respective third-party privacy policies. For more details, please see Stripe’s Privacy Policy [https://stripe.com/privacy].

4. Types of Cookies Used

The cookies used by third-party services on our website fall into the following category:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function, such as enabling secure payment processing. They do not track your activity beyond what is required for your transaction.

We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or other non-essential purposes.

5. Managing Cookies

Since we do not set cookies directly, there are no cookie preferences to manage on our website. However, you can control third-party cookies through your browser settings:

• Disable or delete cookies in your browser (note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from completing purchases).
• Use "Do Not Track" features or private browsing modes, though third-party services like Stripe may still require cookies for functionality.

For instructions, consult your browser’s help section (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

6. Policy Updates

If we make material changes to this Cookies Policy—such as introducing our own cookies in the future—we will notify you by email (if provided) or by posting a prominent notice on our website prior to the change taking effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
