Privacy Policy for Google services on this website
Use of Embedded YouTube Videos
Some pages on this website include embedded videos hosted by YouTube. These videos are embedded using YouTube’s standard embed code, which means YouTube (a service provided by Google LLC) may collect data about your visit, even if you do not interact with the video.
What does this mean for you?
When you visit a page containing a YouTube video:
- YouTube may place cookies on your device.
- YouTube may collect data about your interaction with the video (for example, how long you watch).
- YouTube may link this data to your Google account if you’re logged in.
This happens automatically through the YouTube embed, and the data collection is controlled by Google, not by us.
Why do we use YouTube embeds?
We embed videos to give you easy access to helpful photography content and tutorials. It improves the experience for many of our users who prefer to watch rather than read.
Your options:
- You can choose to disable third-party cookies in your browser settings.
- If you’re logged into a Google account, you can adjust your YouTube privacy settings by visiting your Google Privacy Dashboard.
Note:
We do not receive or store any personal data from YouTube ourselves — any data collection is handled directly by YouTube under their own privacy policy. You can read more about how YouTube/Google handles your data here.
