Cookie Policy
Last updated October 16, 2026
Effective date: October 16, 2026. This policy explains how Tasher Studio of Photography uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website.
What the website uses and why
When you visit, we collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and time on the site. The website uses tools for visitor statistics, advertising, shopping, chat, spam protection, security, embedded content, fonts, icons, and remembering your cookie choices. The provider table below explains each tool's purpose and lists its cookies and storage where identified.
Your cookie choices
Analytics and advertising tools stay off until you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner or scroll the page while the banner is showing. Scrolling while the banner is showing counts as accepting these tools. You can use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to switch analytics or advertising cookies off, or back on, at any time.
Our cookie banner remembers your choices. If you allow analytics, your browser may also send this website a list of the names of cookies and similar storage it holds for this site, at most once a day. It does not send their contents. The list is not stored with anything that identifies you. It is used only to keep this Cookie Policy accurate.
Embedded content and other provider requests
Some pages include embedded content, such as videos, maps, social media posts, or reviews. Loading this content sends request information, such as your IP address and browser information, to its provider. The provider may use cookies or browser storage. Embedded content operates separately from the optional analytics and advertising controls. This website includes YouTube videos, Google Maps, and Elfsight widgets.
Your browser also requests fonts from Google Fonts and icons from Font Awesome. Those providers receive your IP address. Pressable hosts the website and processes standard request data, including IP addresses in server logs.
Tracking across websites and browser signals
Yes. Third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use this website. Google Ads conversion tracking and YouTube embeds collect activity across other websites. We share data for targeted advertising.
This website does not respond to browser Do Not Track signals. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. You can also use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page to turn analytics or advertising cookies off or back on.
How long cookies and browser storage last
- Google Analytics: the _ga cookie and cookies whose names begin with _ga_ last for 2 years.
- Cloudflare: _cfuvid and __cf_bm are session cookies.
- Cookie banner: aq_consent lasts for 180 days. The aq_consent_report localStorage entry remains until you clear your browser storage or withdraw analytics consent.
- The durations of the listed YouTube cookies and Elfsight's elfsight_viewed_recently cookie have not been verified.
