Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This page lists every cookie this site sets, without exception. There are no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels and no third-party cookies on our domain. Our analytics do not use cookies at all.
Everything below is a first-party cookie: it is stored by your browser under bringphotosback.com and is never sent anywhere else.
The cookies we set
Strictly necessary
These make signing in, paying and staying protected from abuse possible. The site cannot work without them.
| Cookie | What it is for | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
bpb_session | Keeps you signed in. Signed and readable only by the server. | 30 days |
bpb_ui | Tells the page, before it draws anything, whether to show the signed-in header and your balance. It is not a credential and grants no access - every request is still checked against bpb_session. | 30 days |
bpb_human | Records that you have passed the Cloudflare Turnstile check, so you are not asked again on every step. Signed and readable only by the server. | 45 minutes |
bpb_human_hint | Lets the upload form know a check has already been passed, so it does not draw a second one. | 45 minutes |
bpb_sender | Caps how many sign-in emails can be sent from one browser per day. This is what stops our address being used to send mail to strangers. | 30 days |
bpb_consent | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice, so it is not shown again. | 1 year |
Functional
| Cookie | What it is for | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
bpb_locale | Remembers the language you chose. We never redirect you by location - this only records your own choice. | 1 year |
Attribution
| Cookie | What it is for | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
bpb_ref | If you arrived through a partner link, this records which one, so a later purchase can be credited to that partner. It holds a short code and nothing about you. It is first-party and is never passed to a third party. | 1 year |
That is the complete list. If you find a cookie under our domain that is not on this page, tell us at [email protected] - it is a bug.
Analytics without cookies
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless by design. It counts page views and load performance in aggregate. It sets no cookie, builds no profile, assigns you no identifier, and cannot follow you to other sites.
Cookies set by other companies
There are none on this site. Two clarifications, because they are easy to mistake for ours:
- Payment. When you pay, you are on Stripe’s own checkout page. Stripe sets its own cookies there under its own domain, governed by Stripe’s privacy policy, not this one. We receive no cookie from that visit.
- Turnstile. The anti-bot check is served by Cloudflare inside a frame on
its own domain. Our
bpb_humancookie records only the result of the check.
Switching cookies off
You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser. Every current browser offers this under Settings:
- Chrome - Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies / Site data
- Safari - Settings, Privacy, Manage Website Data
- Firefox - Settings, Privacy & Security, Cookies and Site Data
- Edge - Settings, Cookies and site permissions
Deleting cookies from this site is safe: nothing of yours is stored in them. Your photos, your balance and your purchase history live in your account, and a sign-in link brings you back to all of it.
Be aware of what blocking them costs, since ours are not optional extras:
without bpb_session you cannot stay signed in, and without bpb_human you
will be asked to pass the anti-bot check again at every step.
