Mepaintsme, LLC ("mepaintsme", "we", "our", or "us") operates this website. Cookies help us arrange our website content to match your preferred interests more quickly. They also allow us to deliver the full features of our website including a smoother checkout experience. From time to time we will set cookies on your computer with your consent. The following explains the cookies we use and why.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small files of letters and numbers on your device, for example your computer or mobile phone. These are known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally and are not viruses or spyware so cannot damage your computer.
These pieces of information are used to improve your user experience through, for example:
• Enabling a service to recognize your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task (for example, when buying artwork)
• Analyzing anonymized data to help us understand how our audiences interact with our site so that we can improve the overall experience
OUR COOKIES AND WHAT THEY DO
Strictly necessary cookies
Without these essential cookies, our website won't work properly. They help you move around secure areas of the website and carry out specific tasks. For example, they:
• Remember information you've entered in a form or details about a payment you want to make on our Online Shop. Without them, this would be lost every time you moved to a new page.
Performance cookies
These cookies collect and report on aggregate anonymous information about how visitors use our website, such as the most popular pages and any error pages you see. We use this aggregated information to improve our website. They:
• Give us an overall picture of how people use our website by telling us for example the number of visitors to each page and what people do on a page.
• Allow us to test out ideas to find out what's working and what could be improved. We do this by seeing what people click on and how they move through the site.
One of the key performance cookies we use is Google Analytics, which doesn't collect any Personally Identifiable Information and any data is held pseudonymously. We only retain your data within Google Analytics for 38 months, after which if you have not visited the mepaintsme website, your data will automatically be deleted. Google Analytics now provides a tool that allows us to delete any users on request. If you would like your information in Google Analytics to be deleted, please contact us at mpm@mepaintsme.com.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies record information about choices you've made and allow us to tailor the website to your needs. They:
• Enable us to share information with partners who provide a service on our site. This is only to provide the service, product or function, not for any other purpose.
Functionality cookies may also take the form of Flash cookies, which are stored in your Adobe Flash Player rather than your browser, and control your preferences when watching online videos or listening to recordings.

Social networking and sharing tools
On some pages, we feature embedded 'Share' buttons or widgets that enable you to share content with friends through a number of popular social networking sites (e.g., Twitter; Facebook; Instagram etc.). These sites may set cookies which can identify you as an individual when you are also logged in to their services.
