Cookie Policy
GK Wedding Films
Effective date: 15 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how GK Wedding Films uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the website.
GK Wedding Films is operated by Gokhan Karaman.
I use cookies to help the website work properly, remember certain preferences and, where applicable, understand how visitors use the website.
This policy should be read alongside the GK Wedding Films Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.
They allow websites to recognise your device and can be used for different purposes, such as:
Making a website function correctly
Remembering preferences
Improving website performance
Understanding how visitors use a website
Measuring website traffic and performance
Cookies can be either first-party cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting, or third-party cookies, which are set by another service used by the website.
Cookies are one type of technology covered by UK rules relating to the storage of and access to information on users' devices. These rules can also apply to similar technologies such as scripts, pixels and web storage.
2. How GK Wedding Films uses cookies
The GK Wedding Films website is built and hosted using Squarespace.
Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function, provide security and support features of the website.
For example, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:
Keep the website functioning correctly
Maintain website security
Remember certain settings or preferences
Help pages and content load correctly
Understand basic information about website usage
Some of these technologies may be strictly necessary for the website to provide the service you have requested. Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary, consent may not be required under the applicable rules.
3. Non-essential cookies
Some cookies and similar technologies are not essential for the website to function.
These may include technologies used for:
Website analytics
Measuring visitor numbers
Understanding how visitors navigate the website
Improving website performance
Advertising or marketing
Where consent is required, I will not use non-essential cookies or similar technologies until you have given your consent.
Under current ICO guidance, consent must involve a clear positive action. Simply continuing to browse the website does not count as valid consent for non-essential cookies.
4. Google Analytics
Google Analytics is not currently installed on the GK Wedding Films website.
I may add Google Analytics or another analytics service in the future to help me understand how visitors use the website and improve the website and my services.
If I introduce Google Analytics or another non-essential analytics service, this Cookie Policy and the website's cookie consent settings will be updated where necessary.
Where consent is required, analytics cookies will only be used after you have given the appropriate consent.
5. Wedding videos
Wedding films displayed on the GK Wedding Films website are hosted directly through Squarespace and are not embedded from Vimeo or YouTube.
The video player may use technologies necessary to display and play video content correctly.
These technologies may include information stored on or accessed from your device to allow the video player to function.
6. Managing your cookie preferences
Where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, you will be given the opportunity to choose whether to accept them.
You should be able to:
Accept non-essential cookies
Reject non-essential cookies
Change or withdraw your preferences
The ICO's current guidance states that withdrawing consent should be as easy as giving it.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your web browser. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.
Please be aware that blocking certain cookies may affect how some websites function.
7. How long cookies remain on your device
Some cookies are session cookies, which are removed when you close your browser.
Other cookies are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on what it is used for and how it has been configured.
Where I introduce additional third-party services, I will review the cookies and similar technologies they use and update this policy where appropriate.
8. Third-party services
GK Wedding Films may use third-party services to help operate the website and provide its services.
These may include services used for:
Website hosting
Website functionality
Video hosting and delivery
Contact forms
Email communication
Website analytics
Payment processing
Third-party services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Where a third party uses non-essential cookies or similar technologies on the GK Wedding Films website, I will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time if:
The website changes
I introduce new services
I add analytics or other tracking technologies
Cookie requirements or data protection laws change
The latest version will always be published on this page, with the effective date shown at the top.
If I introduce a new type of non-essential technology for a different purpose, I will review whether fresh consent is required. Current ICO guidance states that fresh consent may be necessary when the use of storage/access technologies changes materially.
