Cookie Policy

Hello 👋

This website is operated by Vicky Lewis, an Oxfordshire and Cotswolds wedding photographer, and yes, it uses cookies.

Not the chocolate chip kind (sadly). The small digital kind that help websites work properly and help me understand how people use the site, so I can improve it and make it easier to use.

Nothing sneaky. Nothing creepy. Just practical website stuff.


What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help with things like:

  • Making pages load properly
  • Keeping the site secure
  • Remembering simple preferences
  • Showing me which pages people actually look at

They do not tell me who you are, what you had for breakfast, or anything remotely personal like that.


The cookies used on this site

Essential cookies

These are required for the website to function properly. They keep things secure and make sure everything works as it should.

These cookies are always on. Without them, the website would be a bit of a mess.


Personalisation cookies

These help the website remember simple preferences and provide a smoother, more consistent experience between visits.

They do not identify you personally and are completely optional. Think of them as “nice to have” rather than essential.


Analytics cookies

I use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site, such as:

  • How many people visit
  • Which pages are popular
  • Whether visitors are on mobile or desktop

This helps me improve the website and make my marketing work properly behind the scenes. These cookies are optional and only used if you choose to accept them.


Advertising cookies

These may be used to support advertising and marketing activity. They are optional and may not always be active on this site.

You can safely leave these off if you prefer.


Your cookie choices (the honest bit)

When you visit this site, you’ll see a cookie banner with options to manage your preferences.

⭐ Best experience

Accept cookies

This enables personalisation, analytics and any relevant marketing cookies. It gives you the smoothest experience and helps me understand what’s working on my website.

This is the option I personally always choose. I’m usually in a hurry and can’t be bothered customising cookie settings, so I accept and crack on. As a business owner with my own website, I also understand how useful cookies are for helping marketing and website performance work properly.


⭐ Working website

Essential cookies only

The site will still work perfectly fine, just without the extra personalisation and insights.

No judgement either way.


Managing cookies yourself

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to:

  • See what cookies are stored
  • Delete cookies
  • Block cookies altogether

Just be aware that blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.
