Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies we use on artmarketing.md, why we use them, and how you can control them.
It complements our Privacy Policy, which describes how VA GMS GROUP SRL processes personal data in general.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as your chosen language) and, in the case of analytics cookies, understand how the site is used.
We also use similar technologies — browser local storage and measurement pixels — which fall into the same categories as cookies.
2. Your consent
On your first visit we show a banner where you can accept all cookies, reject the non-essential ones, or choose by category.
Strictly necessary cookies are enabled automatically because the site cannot work without them. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set AFTER your explicit consent.
Until you answer, Google tools run in cookieless mode (Google Consent Mode v2): no identifiers are stored, only anonymous aggregated signals.
3. Which cookies we use
3.1. Strictly necessary (cannot be disabled)
These keep the site working: remembering your cookie choice, your interface language, and the admin sign-in session.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| am_consent | artmarketing.md | Stores your answer to the cookie banner so it is not shown on every visit. | 6 months |
| NEXT_LOCALE | artmarketing.md | Remembers the selected language (RO / RU / EN). | 1 year |
| payload-token | artmarketing.md | Admin panel sign-in session. Only created for staff who log into the admin panel, never for site visitors. | Session / 2 hours |
3.2. Analytics (only with your consent)
These show us, in aggregate, how many people visit the site, which pages they read and where they struggle — so we can improve the content and the speed of the site.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes visitors and sessions for aggregated traffic statistics. | 2 years |
| _clck, _clsk | Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. (Clarity) | Heatmaps and anonymized session recordings (form content is masked automatically). | 1 year / 1 day |
| CLID | clarity.ms (Microsoft) | Identifies a user’s first visit to the site for Microsoft Clarity. | 1 year |
3.3. Marketing (only with your consent)
These let us measure advertising performance and show relevant ads on other platforms.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp, _fbc | Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (Facebook / Instagram) | Measure campaign results and allow ads to be shown to people who visited the site. | 3 months |
| _gcl_* | Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Ads) | Attributes a conversion (such as a quote request) to the ad campaign that produced it. | 90 days |
4. Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
You can also delete or block cookies directly in your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
