This Cookies Policy explains how Luminous Lens Photography ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, luminouslens.com (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

We use cookies for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies help us to improve the way our Website works.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
  • Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics and other analytics tools to help us understand how visitors engage with our Website. These cookies collect data such as how often users visit the Website, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Website. We use this information to improve our Website and your experience.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. These cookies are subject to the respective third party’s privacy policies.

For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
