About This Policy

This Cookies Policy is provided in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), which work alongside the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 to regulate the use of cookies and similar technologies on websites in the United Kingdom.

Under UK law, I am required to provide clear information about the cookies this website uses and, where applicable, to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies help the site remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit.

How I Use Cookies

Adam Gardner Photography uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies — required for the website and customer portal to function correctly, such as keeping you logged in to your account and remembering items in your cart.
• Preference cookies — remember your choices, such as language or display settings, to improve your experience.
• Analytics cookies — help me understand how visitors use the site so I can improve its performance and content. These are used in an anonymised, aggregated form only.

Cookies I Do Not Use

I do not use cookies for intrusive advertising, cross-site tracking, or selling your data to third parties. I do not allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies on this website.

Third-Party Cookies

Some features of this site, such as the online store checkout and embedded video content, may involve third-party services that set their own cookies.
