This policy explains how Superspin uses cookies and similar technologies on markcoxpaintings.co.uk, what data they collect, and how you can control them. We keep this straightforward: cookies here do three jobs — they remember your session, they measure how the site is used, and they support third-party tools we've embedded.
Cookies in plain terms
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device when you visit. It carries an identifier, not personal data like your name or payment details. When you return, the site reads that file to recognise you.
We use cookies to keep you logged in between pages, to remember your language preference, and to count visits without asking you to fill in a form every time. They make the site faster and easier to use.
What is stored and for how long
We set three types, each with a different lifespan and purpose.
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session management, security, form submissions | Session or up to 30 days |
| Analytics | Visitor counts, page views, bounce rates | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Language, layout choices | Up to 1 year |
Essential cookies run without asking because the site cannot function properly without them — you would be logged out mid-session or lose the contents of a contact form. Analytics cookies require your consent; we use them to understand which pages are visited most and where readers spend time. Preference cookies save choices you make, like dismissing a banner or selecting a currency.
Embedded third parties
Some tools on this site — analytics platforms, advertising networks, embedded videos — are hosted by other organisations and set their own cookies when they load. We do not control what those scripts collect or how long they retain it.
The most common ones you will encounter are Google Analytics, which tracks aggregate site usage, and any payment or verification widget that appears when you follow a link to the operator. Each of those services publishes its own cookie policy, and you should read theirs if you want the full technical detail.
We choose third parties carefully, but once their script runs in your browser they operate under their own terms. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings will stop most of them without affecting the site's core functions.
Declining without breaking the site
You can disable cookies entirely in your browser, but doing so will log you out after every page and reset your preferences each time you visit. The site will still load — you simply lose the conveniences cookies provide.
A better approach is to block third-party cookies only, which stops tracking scripts while leaving the essential ones in place. Every major browser offers this as a toggle in its privacy settings.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data → Block third-party cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection → set to Strict
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → tick "Prevent cross-site tracking"
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies → Block third-party cookies
If you want finer control, browser extensions like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger let you approve or reject cookies on a site-by-site basis. Rejecting our analytics cookies costs us some visibility into how the site is used, but it does not prevent you from reading anything here.
Updates
We revise this policy when we add a new tool or change how data is handled. The date at the bottom of this page shows when it was last updated. No email goes out when we change it — check back if you want the current version.
