Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies the website photosbyhelmy.com (the "Website"), operated by Valorem Management, S.L. (CIF B67581801), uses and how you can manage them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your browser when you visit it. Similar technologies include local storage and tracking pixels. They are commonly used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to measure how a site is used.
2. Cookies and similar technologies we use
We use a small number of technologies, grouped below by purpose. Where consent is required under EU and Spanish law, we ask for it through our cookie banner.
2.1 Strictly necessary (no consent required)
| Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie banner preference (local storage) | Remembers that you have seen or dismissed the cookie banner so we do not show it again on every visit. | Persistent until cleared by the browser |
2.2 Advertising and conversion measurement (consent-based)
When you reach the Website from a Google Ads advertisement, or when you click a key call-to-action (such as "Book now"), Google Ads sets cookies to measure whether the visit resulted in a booking or a contact request. This helps us understand which advertisements work and how to spend the advertising budget responsibly.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Ads / Google tag) | Stores and reads a unique advertising identifier so Google can attribute a booking to the advertisement that brought you to the site. | Up to 90 days |
| _gcl_aw / _gcl_dc | Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Ads) | Set when you reach the Website by clicking a Google Ads advertisement; used for conversion measurement. | Up to 90 days |
Google may transfer the data collected by these cookies to the United States and other countries. See the Google Privacy Policy and Google's cookie information for details.
2.3 Third-party services on linked pages
When you click an external link (for example to WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, fabshots.co or the booking platform), the destination site may set its own cookies. These cookies are controlled by the third party and governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.
3. How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: all major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent parts of the Website from working as intended.
- Google Ads opt-out: you can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at adssettings.google.com.
- Withdraw consent: if you previously accepted cookies through our banner, you can clear your browser's storage for our domain to reset your choice; the banner will appear again on your next visit.
4. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the technologies we use or when the legal framework changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the latest version.
