Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains the small files and similar technologies this website uses. We keep them to a minimum: we use only cookies that are necessary to make the site work, plus privacy-friendly analytics that do not use cookies at all. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Why We Don’t Show a Cookie Banner

Because we only use strictly necessary and functional cookies, and our analytics are cookieless, we do not display a cookie consent pop-up. You can still control cookies at any time through your browser (see below).

Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary

• Gallery access — when you enter the correct code for a private client gallery, we set a cookie so you don’t have to re-enter it on every page. It is tied to that gallery and is required for the gallery to function.
• Admin login — if you sign in to the private admin area, our authentication provider (Supabase) sets cookies to keep you securely logged in. These apply only to the site owner, not to regular visitors.

Functional

• Gallery download history — we set a random device identifier so that, within a client gallery, we can show you which photos you have already downloaded from that device. It is not linked to advertising and is not shared.

Payment (third party)

• Stripe — on pages where you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies it needs to process the transaction securely and prevent fraud. These are governed by Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

Analytics Without Cookies

We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate traffic and site performance. These tools are cookieless — they do not store cookies on your device or build an individual profile of you.

Similar Technologies

Client galleries also use your browser’s local storage to remember the name and email you enter when favoriting photos, purely as a convenience. You can clear it through your browser at any time.

How to Control Cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser’s settings. Note that blocking the strictly necessary cookies above may stop parts of the site — such as private galleries or the admin area — from working correctly.
