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 in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

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.

How We Use Cookies at Lumiere Lens Studio

At Lumiere Lens Studio, located at 555 Valencia Street in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District, we use cookies to enhance your experience on our website and to provide you with more personalized services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we use cookies. Our Data Protection Officer, Adriana Gomez, oversees our cookie policy and data handling practices. You can reach her at [email protected] with any inquiries.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of our website. They enable you to navigate the site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas and making bookings for photography sessions. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like secure login, cannot be provided.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and if they get error messages from web pages. This helps us to improve the performance of our website and ensure that users find what they are looking for quickly and easily. For example, we use Google Analytics to track website traffic and user behavior. This data is anonymized and does not identify individual users.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
• 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 campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. Currently, Lumiere Lens Studio does not use targeting or advertising cookies. If we decide to use them in the future, we will update this policy and provide you with the option to opt-out.

Here is a list of the specific cookies we use, along with their purpose and duration:
