This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how RetroGamingArt uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences when visiting https://retrogamingart.com.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, which can make subsequent visits easier and more useful. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
Local storage is a similar technology built into modern browsers that allows websites to store small amounts of data on your device. We use local storage rather than cookies in some instances (particularly for consent preferences).
RetroGamingArt uses a minimal approach to cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies for marketing purposes, or any cookies that are designed to build a profile of your browsing behaviour across multiple websites.
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include session-management cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They do not collect personal information.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| rga_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (local storage) | 1 year |
| Bootstrap session | Frontend framework session management | Session |
If you accept cookies, we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site in aggregate. This data is anonymised and used only to improve content and site performance. No personal data is included in analytics reports.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |

| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes users (anonymised) | 2 years |

Our contact page includes a Google Maps embed. Google may set cookies when you interact with the map. These are subject to Google's own privacy and cookie policies, which you can review at policies.google.com/privacy.
We use Google Fonts for typography. Font files are loaded from Google's servers, which may log the request. No personal data is sent as part of this process.
When you first visit RetroGamingArt, a banner will appear giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key rga_cookie_consent.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies and revisiting the site, at which point the consent banner will reappear.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including this one.
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" signal. We respect this signal where technically feasible. If your browser sends a Do Not Track header, we will not activate analytics tracking during your visit.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above. We will re-prompt for consent if our use of cookies changes materially.
If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
