This Cookie Policy explains how Conserve Photography Ltd ("Company", "we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our websites at https://www.conservephotography.com ("Websites"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or data that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Conserve Photography Ltd) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Websites to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties may serve cookies through our Websites for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit).

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. If you choose to reject cookies you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may not be able to register or login as a member to the site, or access all of the site's content.

You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in your web browser. Most web browsers will allow you to either block all cookies, or only third party cookies, and many will let you manage settings for specific cookies if you wish. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's 'Help' menu for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the specific steps to follow to manage cookie settings.

In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or https://www.youronlinechoices.com.

The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Websites and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

• WordPress user cookie: For users that choose to register as members to the site, we use a cookie to allow users to login to the site as members. You can find more information by visiting https://wordpress.org/support/article/cookies/#users-cookie.
• Stripe payment provider cookies: For users that choose to make purchases via the site, using Stripe as a payment provider, Stripe may set various cookies. You can find more information by visiting https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Websites for you.

• Cookie consent banner cookie: We use a cookie to record that you have already accepted the cookie notice on our website, to avoid showing it to you repeatedly.
• WordPress commenter cookie: For users that choose to leave comments within the site, we use a cookie to help improve the commenting functionality. You can find more information by visiting https://wordpress.org/support/article/cookies/#commenters-cookie.
• Google Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to monitor and understand our site traffic and to help operate the site effectively. The Google Analytics service may set various cookies. You can read more about Google's Privacy Policies at https://policies.google.com/privacy and more about the privacy controls they provide at https://safety.google/privacy/privacy-controls/.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Websites or opened an e-mail including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of their services, fraud prevention and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

That said, Adobe Flash Player is no longer a recommended technology and this site does not knowingly make use of it or include any Flash-enabled content. You can read more about this at https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html.

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. This can be accomplished by them using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy as often as you wish to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
