Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones may be used on omicaphotography.com (the "Website"), what they do and how you stay in control of them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. It lets the site recognise that device on a later request — for example to remember a preference, keep a session valid or protect a form against automated abuse. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags, and this policy covers those in the same way.

Cookies are described as first-party when they are set by the Website itself, and third-party when they are set by another domain whose service is embedded in a page. Session cookies are erased when you close the browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.

2. Our approach

This Website is deliberately lightweight. It is a static presentation of our workshop and it does not run advertising networks, behavioural profiling or cross-site tracking. We aim to use only what is strictly necessary to serve pages securely and to keep the enquiry forms working.

4. Third-party services

If we later embed a third-party component — for example a map, a video player or an aggregated analytics script — that provider may set its own cookies subject to its own policy. Where such a component is added, this page will be updated to name the provider and link to its notice before the component goes live.

5. Server logs

Independently of cookies, our hosting provider records standard technical information for every request: IP address, timestamp, requested URL, response status, browser and operating system. These logs are used for security and fault diagnosis and are normally retained for up to 12 months, as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. How to control cookies

You can accept, block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, and you can browse in a private or incognito window so that storage is cleared when the window closes. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent forms from submitting or pages from displaying correctly.

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / Site data.
• Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data / Block all cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
• Mobile browsers — see the privacy or site-settings section of the browser app.

Most browsers also send a "Do Not Track" or global privacy signal if you enable it. Since this Website does not track users across other sites, such a signal does not change how it behaves.

7. Changes to this policy

We review this policy whenever the technical composition of the Website changes and at least once a year. The current version is always published on this page with its date of last update.
