Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 12th May 2026
At Chris Henry Photography Ltd, I believe that transparency is the foundation of a professional partnership. Just as I use lighting and composition to constructively build an image, I use specific digital tools to build a functional and high-quality browsing experience for you.
This policy explains how I use cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit my website.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help my website function correctly and to provide me with data that helps me improve my digital service. These tools allow me to understand how my site is being used so I can refine its creative and technical performance.
2. How I Use Cookies
I use cookies for several reasons, ranging from the technical necessity of my booking systems to the analytical insights that help me reach the right professional audience.
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function. For example, these allow you to navigate the site and use secure features, such as my Sprout Studio booking system or client proofing galleries. Without these, the site would not work as intended.
Performance & Analytics: I use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), and Bing Search cookies to understand how visitors interact with my site. This data is constructive; it helps me see which projects are garnering interest and how I can improve the site’s technical flow. I reserve the right to use other industry-standard analytics tools to further refine this data.
Functionality Cookies: These allow my site to remember choices you make (such as your login details for galleries) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Targeting & Marketing: These cookies track your browsing habits to enable me to show advertising that is more likely to be of interest to you. This helps ensure my marketing spend is directed toward individuals who value professional, creative photography.
Third-Party Embeds: My site includes content from third parties, such as YouTube for studio clips and behind-the-scenes footage. These third parties may set their own cookies to track your interaction with their content.
3. Summary of Key Tools
The primary tools I use that involve cookies include:
Squarespace: My hosting platform uses native cookies to ensure site security and basic functionality.
Google Analytics 4 & Tag Manager: To analyze site traffic and user behavior.
Sprout Studio: To manage logistics, online bookings, and client communications.
YouTube: To host and display video content.
Bing Search: To measure the effectiveness of my search engine presence.

If you wish to change your preferences or withdraw consent at any time, please note that my current system requires you to clear your browser’s cache and cookies and then reload the page. This will trigger the consent banner to reappear, allowing you to make a new selection.
