Sarah Johnson Photography / Say Yes To Being Seen®
A straightforward explanation of website cookies, tracking, and the choices that should be available to you.
Some cookies keep bookings, baskets and payments working.
Marketing and many other non-essential technologies need an appropriate consent choice.
Cookie settings and any available opt-out should be easy to find.
You should know what information your device shares when you visit my website.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, can recognise a device or remember preferences. Some are needed for a service to work; others help measure or promote it.
This policy explains the types of technology that may be used by Sarah Johnson Photography and how choices should work.
Some cookies are needed to provide services you specifically request and to keep the website secure. Depending on the page, these may support:
Strictly necessary cookies can generally operate without optional cookie consent, but should still be explained.
The existing website policy refers to Google Analytics. Its current installation and settings must be verified before this page is published. Analytics may help me understand which pages are useful and whether the website is working as intended.
UK cookie rules now provide a limited exception for some statistical-purpose technologies, but only when strict conditions are met, including clear information and a simple means of objection. Other analytics uses need consent. The exact rules depend on what the tool does and how it is configured.
A Meta/Facebook tracking reference appears on the live website and needs reviewing as part of the site audit. Advertising and remarketing technologies may measure campaign effectiveness or help tailor advertising.
Where such tracking is not exempt, it should not load until you choose to accept that category. Continuing to browse does not count as consent.
Links or embedded content from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and other services may also use their own technologies when those features are loaded.
Bookings and payments may involve WordPress, WooCommerce, Events Manager, Stripe or Klarna, depending on what you purchase. Newsletter forms may use MailerLite. Some embedded videos, maps or forms could set cookies from their own providers.
Some of these technologies are necessary to complete the action you request; others may be optional. Whether consent is needed depends on their purpose and implementation.
The site's consent mechanism should give you a clear way to accept or reject non-essential technologies and manage individual categories, without preselecting optional consent.
Where a limited statistical or appearance-related exception is used instead of consent, a clear and easy way to object must be provided.
Important setup note: the site's live cookie banner and preference link must be checked and connected before this policy is relied upon. If you cannot see a working preferences control, you can contact sarah@sarahjohnsonphotography.co.uk while the website settings are corrected.
The exact names, domains, providers, purposes and expiry periods for cookies and similar technologies need to come from an up-to-date scan of the live website, including the booking and checkout pages.
Publication check: insert the verified cookie declaration generated by your consent-management tool here. Do not treat the categories below as a confirmed list of all cookies on the site.
| Category | Possible purpose | Consent / objection |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Security, session, basket, booking and privacy choices | Usually exempt where strictly necessary. |
| Analytics | Visitor statistics and site improvements | Consent, or limited exception where all requirements are met. |
| Marketing | Advertising measurement, pixels and remarketing | Consent required unless an applicable narrow exception exists. |
| Embedded content | Third-party video, maps, forms or social features | Depends on whether the technology is essential or optional. |
Most browsers let you review and delete stored cookies or block future cookies. Please note that blocking necessary technologies can affect checkout, bookings and other functions.
Browser controls do not replace the website's own legal obligations to explain tracking and obtain any required consent.
For details on how personal data is handled, please read the Privacy Policy.

This notice may be updated when the website's cookies or service providers change. Last reviewed October 2026.
I'm happy to explain how information is used, or help with a privacy-related request.
