1. Understanding Cookies and This Policy
Our platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to ensure our print-on-demand marketplace functions smoothly.
This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use in accordance with EU and UK data protection laws.
2. How We Use Cookies
We categorize the cookies we use into four distinct groups. You have the right to opt-out of all categories except for “Strictly Necessary” cookies.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function. They allow you to log into your account, add products like hoodies or stickers to your cart, and checkout securely. The website cannot function without these.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to see which designs are trending and which pages need technical improvement.
- Functional Cookies: These allow our site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, currency (€/£), or region, providing a more personalized experience.
- Marketing and Targeting Cookies: These are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user, such as showing you art prints similar to those you’ve previously viewed.
3. Consent and Your Rights (EU & UK)
In compliance with the GDPR and the UK’s Data Protection Act, we operate on a “Consent by Default” basis for all non-essential cookies.
- The Cookie Banner: When you first visit Printcart, you will see a banner allowing you to “Accept All,” “Reject All,” or “Manage Preferences.”
- Withdrawing Consent: You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in our footer.
- Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. However, blocking all cookies may prevent you from using the shopping cart or artist dashboard features.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Because we are a marketplace, we use third-party services for payments (like Stripe) and analytics (like Google Analytics).
These third parties may set cookies on your device to help provide their services or for their own advertising purposes.
We do not control these cookies, and we recommend checking the third-party websites for more information about their cookie policies.
