LEGAL / WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY
Cookie
Policy
Last updated: September 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy describes how cookies and similar technologies may be used when a visitor accesses the Photera Imaging website. It should be read with our Privacy Policy. A cookie is a small text record stored by a browser; similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and identifiers used to operate, secure, remember, or measure a website.
1. Categories of Technology
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports page delivery, security, fraud prevention, network management, consent settings, and functions requested by the visitor. |
| Functional | Remembers choices such as interface preferences, including the selected light or dark theme. |
| Analytics | Helps understand aggregate website use, performance, navigation, errors, and which pages are useful. |
| Marketing | May measure campaign effectiveness or support relevant advertising where such tools are enabled and legally permitted. |
2. Shopify and Service Providers
Our storefront is operated through Shopify. Shopify and supporting providers may set or read cookies needed to provide storefront infrastructure, security, load balancing, consent tools, and analytics. The names, duration, and availability of cookies may change as the platform and enabled services change. Some identifiers are session-based and expire when the browser closes; others remain for a stated period or until removed.
3. Current Site Preference
The exposure theme control may store a local browser preference so that the chosen High Key or Low Key appearance is remembered. This preference is used for interface functionality and is not intended to identify a visitor directly.
4. Consent and Controls
Where consent is required, non-essential technologies should be used only after the visitor makes the relevant choice through the available consent interface. A visitor may change consent choices using that interface when available. Browser settings may also block, limit, or delete cookies and site data. Blocking necessary technology can prevent parts of the website from operating correctly, while blocking analytics or marketing technology generally affects measurement or personalization rather than basic access.
5. Do Not Track and Global Signals
Browser-based privacy signals are interpreted according to applicable law and the capabilities of the website platform and enabled consent tools. Because standards continue to develop, responses may vary by jurisdiction and technology.
6. Third-Party Content
If third-party content or services are introduced, their providers may process information under their own policies. Photera Imaging does not control a third party’s browser storage. We aim to avoid unnecessary third-party features and to review the categories of technology used on the storefront.
7. Updates
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, providers, legal requirements, or website functionality. The last-updated date identifies the current version. Visitors should review the policy periodically.
