Cookies. What are they?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers downloaded to your device when you access certain websites. Like virtual door keys, cookies unlock a computer’s memory and allow a website to recognize users when they return to a site by opening doors to different content or services. Like a key, a cookie itself does not contain information, but when it is read by a browser it can help a website improve the service delivered. A cookie is also a small sweet cake, typically round, flat, and crisp.

Cookies. How do I use them?

Facebook

Facebook cookies allow me to reconnect with visitors interested in my headshots, as well as reach potential clients with similar interests as my existing clients. This all allows me to reach clients when they're looking for headshots.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics tracking allows me to assess what content is most relevant to clients. No personal identifying information is collected.

HotJar

HotJar allows me to see how visitors interact with my website. No personal data is collected, but cookies allow unique users' interactions to be captured independently of each other.

This Website

This website may create unique cookies to deliver consistent page experiences. For example, while testing various page layouts a cookie may be downloaded so that you see the same content each time you visit, delivering a consistent experience for you.

Personal Data

Personal data may be collected when you enter it into a field on this site, interact with a form or chatbot, submit an inquiry, or book a session. This data is used to facilitate your interaction and help deliver the best headshot experience.
