No tracking. Not even a cookie.
ArtConnect does not set cookies. Your sign-in session is kept in your browser's local storage — on your device, nowhere else — so you stay signed in without being tracked. We do not use advertising, tracking pixels, or session recording, and we run no analytics of our own; the platform that hosts ArtConnect generates aggregate page-view counts, not tied to you. Because nothing non-essential is stored, we show a dismissible notice rather than a consent gate.
Two things load from other companies' servers: our typefaces come from Google Fonts, and the Resources page shows video thumbnails served by YouTube. Videos are not embedded — clicking one takes you to YouTube itself, which has its own cookies and rules once you are there. Those requests reach Google's servers (which see standard request data, like an IP address) but set no cookies on ArtConnect.
