2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow websites to remember information between pages and visits.

Some cookies are essential because the website cannot work properly without them. Others may be used for analytics, advertising or personalisation. Photosite uses only essential cookies needed for the operation of the service.

  • protect forms and account actions from unauthorised requests;
  • support login, registration and account management;
  • remember basic service-related settings where needed;
  • operate the website correctly.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some supporting services may be used to operate the website, such as hosting, email delivery or security-related services. These are used to provide and maintain Photosite, not to track visitors for advertising purposes.

You can usually manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
