Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how IngaB. Photography ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at ingaphoto.co.uk (the "Website").

By continuing to browse or use our Website, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure area access, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies help us measure and improve the performance of our site by collecting information about how you use it, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive error messages.

We may use Google Analytics, which uses cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Website. The information generated is used to compile reports and help us improve the site.

3.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.

3.4 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. We may use these cookies if we run advertising campaigns through platforms like Facebook or Instagram.

4. Cookies We Use

Below is a detailed list of the cookies we use on our Website:

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics, deliver advertisements, and so on. These cookies may be placed by:

• Google Analytics: For website analytics and performance monitoring
• Social Media Platforms: If you interact with social media buttons or widgets on our site (Facebook, Instagram)
• Embedded Content: Videos or other embedded content from third-party providers may set their own cookies

We do not control the use of these third-party cookies. Please check the relevant third-party website for more information about their cookies.

6. Web Beacons and Tracking Pixels

Cookies are not the only way to recognise 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 enables us to recognise when someone has visited our Website or opened an email 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 email marketing campaigns.

In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

7. Flash Cookies

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 our 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.

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.

8. Targeted Advertising

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. 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 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.

9. How to Manage Cookies
