This Cookie Policy explains how altastudio.gr uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies.

3. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They allow a website to remember information about your session, preferences, security state, or previous interactions.

Some cookies are necessary for a website to work correctly. Others may be used for analytics, advertising, profiling, or cross-site tracking.

Alta Studio does not use cookies for advertising, behavioral profiling, or third-party analytics.

4. Cookies We Use

Alta Studio currently uses the following cookies:

Cookie Purpose Duration Type
sessionid Keeps authorized sessions active for private galleries and the photographer dashboard. 2 weeks Strictly necessary
csrftoken Protects forms against cross-site request forgery attacks. 1 year Strictly necessary / security
alta_viewer_<id> Remembers the name and email entered for an email-gated private gallery so they do not need to be re-entered every session. This cookie is signed to prevent tampering. 1 year Strictly necessary / gallery access
alta_consent Records that the cookie notice has been dismissed. 1 year Strictly necessary / preference
django_language Remembers the selected language, such as Greek or English, for the current browser session. Browser session only Functional preference

5. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function securely and correctly.

Alta Studio uses strictly necessary cookies to:

  • Keep authorized sessions active
  • Protect forms from cross-site request forgery
  • Support private gallery access
  • Remember an email-gated gallery viewer during the applicable cookie period
  • Remember that the cookie notice has been dismissed
  • Maintain basic language preference during the browser session

Because these cookies are necessary for the operation, security, and requested functionality of the website, they are not used for advertising or analytics and cannot be disabled through a site-level preference panel.

You may disable or delete cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may prevent private galleries, forms, language selection, or other parts of the website from working correctly.

6. No Analytics or Advertising Cookies

Alta Studio does not use:

  • Google Analytics
  • Plausible
  • Mixpanel
  • Meta Pixel
  • Google Ads tags
  • TikTok Pixel
  • Remarketing or retargeting cookies
  • Behavioral advertising cookies
  • Social-media tracking widgets
  • Third-party analytics scripts

We do not use cookies to follow you across websites, build advertising profiles, or sell behavioral data.

7. No Third-Party Font or Social Tracking

Alta Studio does not load third-party hosted fonts such as Google Fonts.

Typefaces are self-hosted from altastudio.gr, so font loading does not require third-party network requests that disclose your IP address to an external font provider.

Alta Studio also does not use social-media share widgets that load external scripts or tracking resources from social platforms.

8. Private Gallery Cookies

Some private galleries may use an email gate. If an email gate is enabled, you may be asked to enter your name and email address before viewing the gallery.

When this happens, Alta Studio may set a signed cookie named alta_viewer_<id>. This cookie remembers your gallery viewer identity so you do not have to re-enter your name and email during every session.

This cookie is used only for gallery access, delivery confirmation, access control, and client service purposes. It is not used for advertising, third-party analytics, or cross-site tracking.

9. Cookie Notice Cookie

The alta_consent cookie records that you have dismissed the cookie notice.

This does not mean Alta Studio is using advertising or analytics cookies. It simply prevents the notice from being shown repeatedly after you have already dismissed it.

10. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can control, delete, or block cookies through your browser settings.

Common browser controls allow you to:

  • Delete existing cookies
  • Block future cookies
  • Block cookies from specific websites
  • Clear cookies when the browser closes
  • Use private or incognito browsing modes

If you block or delete cookies from altastudio.gr, some features may not work correctly. In particular, private galleries, forms, session-based access, language preference, and cookie notice dismissal may be affected.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technical, legal, or operational changes.

Any changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
