Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
- First party cookies are cookies set by the website you're visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
- Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.
Every time you visit our websites, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies. The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don't have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.
Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
How do we use cookies?
Currently, there are four types of cookies that may be generated as you browse our site: Strictly Necessary, Statistics, Preference and Marketing cookies.
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary are explained in the table below.
How do I control Strictly Necessary Cookies?
You can use your browser settings to control whether or not we set session cookies. More information on your browser settings is provided at the bottom of this page.
Please be aware that these cookies are critical to the efficient working of the site. If you choose to disable these cookies from this site, the functionality of the site may be greatly reduced.
2. Statistics Cookies
Also known as "performance cookies," these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
Statistical information is used in reports and to improve our site. For example, we have used analytics data to add, remove or change features of the site based on how popular they are with users.
We track, for example:
- the numbers of visitors to individual pages;
- when pages were visited;
- how long users stayed on the page;
- the IP address of the user of the website;
- the page they came from;
- technical data about the device being used to browse the site (such as browser and operating system version, and display size) — we use this data to ensure that the technology our site uses is appropriate for the majority of our users, and how best to display the site for users who have less capable browsers.
More information about Statistics cookies
We use cookies from different partners including Google to provide our analytics data. You can read more about how Google Analytics treats your data on their web site. You can also read Google's full privacy policy.
How do I control Statistics cookies?
Google provides a tool to opt-out of Google Analytics. This is available for all modern browsers in the form of a browser plugin. Additionally, you can control how cookies are set using your browser settings.
3. Preference cookies
Also known as "functionality cookies," these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, whether you have accepted our cookie policy, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in.
4. Marketing cookies
The advertisements you see displayed on this, and other, sites are generated by third parties. These services may use their own anonymous cookies to track how many times a particular ad has been displayed to you and may track your visits to other sites where their ads are displayed. Please note that advertisers can only track visits to sites which display their ads or other content. This tracking is anonymous, meaning that they do not identify who is viewing which ads.
Tracking in this manner allows advertisers to show you ads that are more likely to be interesting to you, and also limit the number of times you see the same ad across a wide number of sites. As an example of how advertisers operate, if you recently researched holidays, adverts for holiday operators may subsequently appear on our sites.
We do not have access to, or control over, these third party cookies; nor can we view the data held by these advertisers. Online advertisers provide ways for you to opt-out of your browsing being tracked. More information about the advertisers we use, and how to opt-out, is provided below.
Youtube
We display clips from Youtube related to our purchase opportunities. You can view Youtubes's privacy policy on their website. This page also allows you to control what cookies YouTube saves on your computer.
We work with Google to optimise how Google ads are displayed. You can discover how Google protects your privacy relating to ads at its privacy policy.

Banksy's Art and Investment Potential
Enter the enigmatic world of Banksy, where artistry meets activism, and anonymity fuels intrigue. Banksy's creations transcend traditional boundaries, commanding attention on the streets and in prestigious galleries alike. But beyond artistic prowess, Banksy embodies investment potential, with each piece carrying the weight of cultural commentary and financial value. Investing in Banksy isn't just about acquiring art; it's about owning a piece of history and participating in a global conversation.
Banksy: The Artist of the 21st Century?
In the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art, Banksy emerges as a defining figure of the 21st century. His anonymity adds layers of mystique to his work, while his unapologetic commentary on society resonates with audiences worldwide. Each new work discovered in the streets of Bristol, the ruins of Gaza, on the back door of the Bataclan in Paris, or in the New York subway, shares a recognizable and distinctive style with a hidden message portraying the activistic approach of the artist. Whether spray-painting political statements on city walls or shredding his own artwork at auction, Banksy defies conventions and challenges perceptions, earning him a place in art history and investment portfolios alike.
Investing in Banksy: A Wise Decision?
For investment enthusiasts and art collectors alike, the allure of Banksy's pieces extends beyond aesthetic appreciation. As the demand for Banksy's work continues to soar, so does its investment potential. But investing in Banksy requires more than financial acumen; it demands an understanding of cultural significance, market trends, and long-term value. While the art market can be unpredictable, Banksy's consistent relevance and global appeal make it a compelling choice for investors seeking both monetary and cultural returns.

However, with TGB Contemporary's guidance and expertise, the risks are mitigated, and the rewards are maximized. By investing in quality pieces with intrinsic value and cultural significance, clients can build art portfolios that stand the test of time and contribute to their broader investment strategies.
