Cookies
This website uses cookies. When you first visit, a banner will ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies are set.
Essential cookies
One cookie is used to remember your cookie preference (cookie_consent). This cookie is set regardless of your choice and expires after 365 days. It contains only the value "accepted" or "declined" and is used solely to avoid showing you the consent banner on return visits.
Analytics cookies (with your consent only)
If you choose to accept cookies, this site uses Google Analytics 4 (operated by Google LLC) to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed and how long visitors spend on them. This helps us understand what is working well and improve the experience over time.
Google Analytics sets its own cookies (typically _ga and _ga_*) which identify your browser across sessions. This data is processed by Google and subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
No analytics cookies are set if you click "No thanks". Google Analytics will not load and no data about your visit will be collected or sent to Google.
You can change your cookie preference at any time by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer of any page. Choosing "No thanks" will clear the existing consent cookie and prevent analytics from running on future visits.
What we do not do
- We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.
- We do not sell or share analytics data with third parties for marketing purposes.
- We do not use cookies to identify you personally.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent for any processing based on consent (such as the mailing list or analytics cookies)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at almacarastudio@gmail.com. We will respond within one calendar month.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Continued use of this site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
