Cookies Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, how The Main Shot uses them on this website, and how you can control them. We believe in being transparent about the small data files that help our website work.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember things about your visit — like your preferences, whether you've been before, or how you navigated the site.
Most cookies are harmless and serve a useful purpose, like keeping a form from forgetting your details halfway through filling it out. Others help website owners understand how visitors use their site so they can improve it.
How We Use Cookies
The Main Shot uses cookies for a few simple reasons:
- To make our website function correctly.
- To remember your cookie preferences once you've made a choice.
- To understand how visitors interact with our site, so we can improve the experience.
- To support our enquiry form (provided by our CRM partner) so your details are submitted correctly.
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, or to share your data with advertising networks.
Types Of Cookies We Use
Here's a breakdown of the categories of cookies you might encounter on our site:
Strictly Necessary Cookies Essential
These cookies are required for the website to function. They handle things like remembering your preferences, supporting the enquiry form and keeping the site secure. These cookies cannot be switched off.
Performance & Analytics Cookies Optional
These help us understand which pages are popular, how visitors navigate the site, and where we can improve. The data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from these cookies. Typically set by Google Analytics or similar services.
Functionality Cookies Optional
These remember choices you've made on the site — like your cookie preferences — so you don't get asked the same question on every visit.
Third-Party Embeds Optional
When we embed video content (e.g. YouTube) or our enquiry form, those third-party services may set their own cookies. We use privacy-enhanced settings where possible.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services we use:
- YouTube — when you watch one of our wedding films, YouTube may set cookies. We use their privacy-enhanced mode where possible.
- Google Analytics — helps us understand site traffic and usage patterns.
- NoNameCRM — powers our enquiry form and may set cookies to make sure your submission works correctly.
- Cloudways / WordPress — our hosting platform may set technical cookies required for the site to function.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we recommend reviewing if you'd like more information.
Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject non-essential, or customise your choices at any time.
If you'd like to change your preferences after your first visit, you can clear cookies via your browser settings — the banner will appear again on your next visit.
Disabling Cookies
You can disable cookies entirely through your browser settings. Most browsers offer this in the privacy or security section of preferences. Here are quick links for popular browsers:
Please note: disabling all cookies may affect how our site works. For example, the enquiry form may not behave as expected.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or the way we run our business. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the "Last updated" date refreshed accordingly.
