Last updated: August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how www.peternemeth.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the website.
It should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how personal information is collected, used and protected.
1. About This Website
This website is operated by:
Peter Nemeth
Photographer · Writer · Visual Storyteller

Website: www.peternemeth.com

The website and its domain are hosted and managed through Squarespace.
The website also uses selected third-party services, including Google Analytics and services provided by Meta Platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit them.
Cookies can perform different functions. Some are necessary for a website to operate correctly, while others help understand how visitors use the website, remember preferences or measure the effectiveness of content and marketing.
Some cookies remain on your device only during your browsing session, while others may remain for a longer period.
Similar technologies may also be used for purposes comparable to cookies.
3. How This Website Uses Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used on this website to:
operate the website securely and correctly;
provide essential website functionality;
remember visitor preferences;
understand how visitors use and navigate the website;
measure website traffic and performance;
understand which pages, photography, articles and services attract visitor interest;
analyse how visitors find the website;
measure engagement with content;
support marketing and social media activities where applicable.
Cookies used on this website generally fall into the categories described below.
4. Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies are required for the website to function securely and correctly.
These cookies may support functions such as:
website security;
navigation;
session management;
cookie and privacy preferences;
forms and website functionality;
redirects and other technical website functions.
Because these cookies are necessary for the website to operate, they do not generally require consent and cannot always be disabled through the website's cookie preference controls.
Squarespace may place different necessary cookies depending on the features being used on the website.
5. Squarespace Analytics and Performance Cookies
Squarespace provides analytics functionality that helps me understand how visitors interact with the website.
Where enabled and permitted by your cookie preferences, Squarespace may use analytics and performance cookies including:
ss_cid
Used to identify unique visitors and track sessions.
Typical duration: up to 2 years.
ss_cpvisit
Used to identify unique visitors and track sessions.
Typical duration: up to 2 years.

Typical duration: approximately 30 minutes.
ss_cvr
Used to identify unique visitors and track sessions.
Typical duration: up to 2 years.
ss_cvt

These cookies help provide aggregated information about website traffic and activity.
Where consent is legally required, these non-essential analytics cookies are used only according to the choices you make through the website's cookie banner.
6. Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors discover and use the website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
pages visited;
number and duration of sessions;
approximate geographical location;
browser and device information;
referral and traffic-source information;
interactions with website content.
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies including:
_ga
Used to distinguish individual users.
Default duration: up to 2 years.
ga
Used to maintain session information.
Default duration: up to 2 years.
The exact duration may be affected by browser settings, Google Analytics configuration and applicable privacy controls.
Where required, Google Analytics operates according to your cookie consent preferences.
If analytics consent is not granted, Google Analytics storage may be restricted or disabled in accordance with the website's consent configuration.
Google Analytics is provided by Google LLC.
7. Google Search Console
I use Google Search Console to monitor how www.peternemeth.com performs in Google Search, including search queries, impressions, clicks, indexing and technical website performance.
Google Search Console is not used on this website as a conventional visitor-tracking cookie system in the same way as Google Analytics.
It is therefore described here for transparency but does not normally require separate website cookies to measure individual visitor activity on www.peternemeth.com.
8. Meta, Facebook and Instagram
I use services provided by Meta Platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, in connection with my photography and online presence.
If Meta Pixel or another Meta tracking technology is active on this website, Meta may receive information about visitor interactions with the website.
This information may be used to:
measure website activity;
understand engagement;
measure the effectiveness of advertising or social media campaigns;
create aggregated audience insights;
improve the relevance of advertising where applicable.
Meta technologies may use cookies or similar identifiers.
Where consent is legally required, non-essential Meta tracking technologies should only operate according to the choices you make through the website's cookie consent system.
Meta processes information according to its own privacy and cookie policies.
9. Newsletter
This website uses Squarespace's newsletter and email services to manage newsletter subscriptions and selected email communications.
If you subscribe to receive updates, Squarespace may process information necessary to manage your subscription, such as your email address and subscription preferences.
Newsletter subscription information is primarily provided directly by you rather than collected through analytics cookies.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in emails or by contacting:
10. Cookie Consent
When you first visit this website, you may be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to make choices about non-essential cookies.
Depending on the options available, you may be able to:
accept non-essential cookies;
decline non-essential cookies;
manage your cookie preferences.
Necessary cookies may continue to operate because they are required for the website to function.
Analytics, performance and marketing cookies that require consent should only be used according to the preferences you select.
11. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent
You may change or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through the Cookie Preferences option available on this website.
Changing your preferences will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality or the accuracy of analytics information.
12. Third-Party Services
Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided by third-party services used in connection with this website.
Current service providers may include:
Squarespace — website hosting, domain management, analytics and newsletter services;
Google — Google Analytics and Google Search Console;
Meta Platforms — Facebook and Instagram services and, where enabled, Meta measurement technologies.
These third parties may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
I do not control all cookies or similar technologies placed directly by third-party services.
13. International Data Transfers
Some of the service providers used by this website operate internationally.
As a result, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may in some circumstances be processed or stored outside Hungary or the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where applicable, international transfers should be protected through safeguards recognised under applicable data protection law, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other appropriate transfer mechanisms.
Further information is available in the website's Privacy Policy and in the privacy documentation of the relevant service providers.
14. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
Necessary cookies are used where they are required to provide, secure and operate the website.
Where applicable law requires consent, analytics, performance and marketing cookies are used only after you have provided the relevant consent.
You may withdraw that consent at any time through the website's cookie preference controls.
15. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser; or
Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose, the relevant service provider, browser restrictions and your privacy settings.
The durations listed in this policy reflect typical or default durations and may change if the relevant provider changes its technology or settings.
16. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, block and delete cookies.
The exact controls vary depending on the browser and device you use.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of some websites and may prevent certain features from working correctly.
Browser-based controls operate separately from the cookie preferences provided directly on this website.
17. Changes to This Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to:
the website;
Squarespace functionality;
analytics services;
third-party integrations;
cookie technologies;
applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
The latest version will always be published on this page together with the date of the most recent update.
