1. Basics

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, understand how pages are used, and provide certain features or content more efficiently.

On this site, cookies may be set by Boulder Art Association (first-party cookies) and by trusted tools we use to run the website, such as analytics, embedded media, or contact and donation forms (third-party cookies).

2. Types

Types of cookies we may use

Always On

Essential & functional cookies

These cookies are necessary for basic site operation and security. They may remember your cookie preferences, help pages load properly, and keep certain forms or features functioning. You cannot disable these cookies using this site, but you can block them in your browser (which may affect site functionality).

Optional

Analytics & performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site—for example, which pages are viewed most often and how people arrive here. This information is typically aggregated and used to improve content, navigation, and accessibility.

Third-Party

Embedded content & social media

Some pages may include content from other sites (such as calendars, videos, forms, maps, or social media). When you view or interact with these elements, the third-party service may set its own cookies and follow its own privacy and cookie policies.

3. Use

How cookies support this website

We use cookies to:

  • Support website security and reliable page loading.
  • Remember certain preferences (such as cookie acceptance).
  • Understand how visitors find and use our content, so we can improve it.
  • Enable embedded tools (such as event calendars, forms, or donation options) to function properly.
4. Control

How to manage your cookie settings

You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Please note that removing or blocking cookies may impact your experience on this Site and limit some features.

  • Browser settings: Most web browsers let you block, clear, or limit cookies. Look for options like “Privacy,” “Cookies,” or “Site settings” in your browser’s settings menu.
  • Private or incognito mode: Using private browsing can limit how cookies are stored between sessions, though essential cookies may still be used during your visit.
  • Third-party tools: Some analytics or advertising cookies can be managed through widely used opt-out tools, depending on your region and services enabled.

For the most up-to-date instructions, search for “manage cookies in [your browser name]” (for example: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).

5. Your preferences

Site-specific preferences

If our site displays a cookie banner or preference panel, you can use it to accept or adjust certain categories of cookies. Your choices may be stored in an essential cookie so we can remember your settings the next time you visit.

You can usually revisit your choices by clearing cookies in your browser or by using any “cookie settings” link provided in the footer of the site (if available).

6. Privacy
