This is the notice regarding cookies, pixels, and social plug-ins (“Cookie Notice”) of Macklowe Gallery, (“Macklowe Gallery”, “we", “us”, “our”). Macklowe Gallery is the data controller for the purpose of this Cookie Notice.
This Cookie Notice provides information about our use of cookies, pixels, and social plug-ins in connection with your use of and interaction with this Website or any other online presence administered by us, including without limitation our social media presences and our applications (collectively referred to as “Website”).

What are Cookies, which ones do we use and how can you opt-out?
A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer or mobile device by the user's web browser while the user is browsing. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items added in the shopping cart) or to record the user's browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into form fields such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers.
Like many other websites, we also use cookies on ours. Different cookies have different purposes, but also different lifespans. The lifespan of a cookie determines how long a cookie will remain on your computer before it deletes itself.
Browsers may accept or reject cookies automatically, but allow you to change these settings. The help menu on most browsers will tell you how to change your browser setting as to cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies all together. You can also disable or delete cookies you have previously accepted, if you wish to.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Website and for you to be able to complete services you ask for. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Website.
Functional Cookies: These enhance your experience on our website including remembering your cart and currency.
Performance Cookies: These help to analyse anonymous data on how users navigate and interact with the website provided by Google Analytics.
Social Media Cookies: These cookies allow you to share Website content with social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). We have no control over these cookies as they are set by the social media platforms themselves. Please have a look below for further information on pixels and social plug-ins to learn more about how social media cookies are used in association with social plug-ins.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies allow us to deliver tailor-made advertisements to you on third party websites based on your interests in our products and services manifested during your visit on our Website. These cookies do not collect data that identifies you. All data is anonymous. We may engage on our Website in interest based advertising, including retargeting or remarketing technology provided by third parties (“Third Party Providers”), such as:
Google Analytics, a service of Google Inc., Mountain View, USA
Instagram LLC, Menlo Park, USA
These are set by us and third parties and inform third parties about your browsing habits, so you can be provided with advertising that is most relevant to you through Google Ads. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you. All information is anonymous. This helps us to improve the way the Website works.
We may also rely on Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to analyze your use of the Website. The information generated by Google Analytics is subject to Google’s privacy and cookie policy and will be transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the USA. Prior to the transfer, it will be anonymized by removing the last octet of your IP address. Google will then process it on our behalf in order to evaluate your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide other services related to Internet usage. Google will not link your IP address with any other data held by Google. Note, however, that if you have enabled Google to associate your web and app browsing history with your Google account, and you have given Google permission to use the information of your Google account to personalize ads, Google may link the analytical cookies, and the information collected with them, with the information from your Google account. You may refuse the use of cookies for the aforesaid purposes by setting your browser accordingly; however, in that case, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Website. You may further opt-out of the collection of your usage data (including your IP address) and its processing by downloading and installing the add-on for your current web browser.
For more information about the use of your data by Google, please visit Google’s website. The Google Analytics cookies used on this Website are:
_ga: this cookie contains a unique value to distinguish between website visitors and has a lifespan of 2 years;
_gid: this cookie contains a unique value to distinguish between website visitors and has a lifespan of 24 hours;
_gat: this cookie is used to throttle requests to the server and has a lifespan of 10 minutes

During your visit on our Website, neither the Third Party Providers nor we collect any personalized data, only anonymized data. The engagement of such technology is in full compliance with the relevant data protection legislations. Thanks to such data we can, for example, approach you with advertisement on third party websites, which is personalized according to your interests in our products, e.g. after you have visited our Website and showed interest in a particular series of products, this technology may later show you more information in form of advertisements while surfing on another website. The goal of engaging this technology is to best adapt the available information to your interests and to make your online experience as informative as possible.

What are pixels and social plug-ins, which ones do we use and how can you opt-out?
We also use other technologies on our Website which allow us and Third Party Providers to offer you a more personalized and engaged web experience, e.g. by offering you advertisements on your social media channels that are more relevant to you or by allowing you to share your experiences on our Website via social media. We therefore use the following technologies:
Facebook pixels. Facebook pixels are small pieces of software and are nearly invisible pixel-sized “dots” on our Website which create a link between your visit to our Website and Facebook. When the pixel loads, Facebook places a so-called “fr”-cookie on your computer, which helps Facebook to provide you with more personalized advertisements, but also to measure and improve advertisements. This cookie has a lifespan of 90 days. More information on Facebook cookies can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/. Please note that when the “fr”-cookie is placed, Facebook is able to follow your surfing behavior across other websites which have implemented a Facebook pixel or Facebook social plug-in.
Social plugins. Social plug-ins are small pieces of software which create a link between your visit to our Website and the social media platform of a Third Party Provider. The social plug-in will let the Third Party Provider know that you have visited our Website and may let the Third Party Provider receive cookies he has placed on your computer beforehand. We use social plug-ins of the following Third Party Providers:
Facebook (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins)
Pinterest (https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/all-about-pinterest-browser-button)
Google (https://developers.google.com/+/web/)
Please click on the URL’s next to each of these Third Party Providers to learn more about their plug-ins. Note that we have no control over how these social plug-ins work, the data that they collect or what the Third Party Provider does with this information. For more information on how these Third Party Providers use your personal data collected via their social plug-ins, you are kindly referred to their respective privacy policies.
