Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They’re widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies can’t harm your device or access any other files on it. You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings at any time.
2. How We Use Cookies
The Epiphany Art website (epiphanyart.org) uses cookies in four ways:
-
Essential cookies — these are necessary for the website to function. Without them, certain features (such as contact forms and page navigation) may not work correctly. These cookies are set automatically and do not require your consent.
-
Analytics cookies — these help us understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve it over time. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose. Analytics cookies are only set if you choose to accept them via our cookie banner.
-
Social media cookies — our website displays an embedded Instagram feed. When this feed loads, Meta (the company that operates Instagram) may set cookies on your device, even if you do not have an Instagram account or are not logged in. These cookies are only loaded if you accept social media cookies via our cookie banner.
-
Preference cookies — these remember your cookie consent choices so you are not shown the cookie banner on every visit.
We do not use cookies for advertising or for any purpose other than those described above.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we use:
-
Wix — our website platform sets cookies to ensure the site functions correctly. Wix is GDPR-compliant. For more information, see Wix’s Cookie Policy at wix.com/about/cookies.
-
Google Analytics 4 — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised data. Google is a data processor acting on our behalf. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking entirely using Google’s opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
-
Meta (Instagram) — our website includes an embedded Instagram feed (@ca.epiphany). When this feed loads, Meta may set cookies on your device and collect data about your visit. Meta operates as an independent data controller for this data — meaning their processing is governed by their own privacy policy, not ours. For more information, see Meta’s Privacy Policy at privacycenter.instagram.com.
We do not use cookies from any other third-party services.
5. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit epiphanyart.org, you’ll see a cookie banner giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and social media). Your preference will be saved for future visits.
Please note that if you decline social media cookies, the embedded Instagram feed will not load. You can still visit our Instagram profile directly at instagram.com/ca.epiphany.
You can also manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Here’s how to do this in the most common browsers:
-
Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
-
Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
-
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
-
Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the website functions. Disabling analytics or social media cookies will not affect your ability to browse the site or contact us.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features or third-party services to the site. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically.
7. Contact Us
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please contact us.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out how we collect and use personal data more broadly.
