Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: 30 July 2026

This page explains what data Captured By Jovan ("I", "me") collects through capturedbyjovan.com, why, and the choices you have — including which cookies this site uses and how to change your preference at any time.

Who I am

Captured By Jovan is a photography and content-creation business based in the West Midlands, UK. For any privacy question, contact me at hello@capturedbyjovan.com.

Data from enquiries

When you submit an enquiry, it's handled by the booking form at app.capturedbyjovan.com — a separate application I use to manage bookings. Whatever you submit there (e.g. name, email, details about your shoot) is used solely to respond to your enquiry and, if you go ahead, to deliver the booking. It isn't sold or passed on to third parties for marketing.

Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies marked Necessary below are always on because the site can't work properly without them (or because they simply remember your cookie choice). Everything else only runs if you switch it on in the cookie banner — reachable any time via Cookie Preferences in the footer, or the button below.

NameCategoryPurposeDuration
cbj_consent Necessary Remembers your cookie preference so you're not asked again. Until you clear browser storage
cbj_intro_seen Necessary Remembers you've seen the loading animation this session, so it doesn't replay on every page. Current browser session
_ga, _ga_* Analytics Google Analytics (GA4) — helps me understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, general location, device type). Only set if you accept Analytics cookies. Up to 2 years (Google default)

Two more things worth knowing:

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics also runs on this site to measure traffic and performance, but it's cookieless — it doesn't set cookies or store anything identifiable on your device, so it isn't part of the consent choice above.
  • The Instagram feed on this site is provided by a third-party widget (behold.so). It may load content directly from Instagram/Meta's servers, which can set their own cookies outside my control — see Meta's privacy policy for details.

Your rights (UK GDPR)

Under UK GDPR you have the right to ask what personal data I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how it's used, receive a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time (e.g. by rejecting Analytics cookies above). To exercise any of these, email hello@capturedbyjovan.com. If you're unhappy with how a request is handled, you can complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Changes to this policy

If how this site collects or uses data changes, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will reflect it.
