Privacy Policy
We keep this short and plain: privacy-first analytics, no ad tracking, and we never sell your data.
Who we are
West Michigan Photos is West Michigan's action and sports photography company, and a Coba Digital LLC company. This policy explains what we collect and why. Questions? Email us at hello@westmichiganphotos.com.
Cookies and analytics
This site uses minimal first-party analytics — page views, referrers, and basic on-page behavior such as how far you scroll, how long a page is open, and clicks on links and buttons. Anonymous visitors are counted with a daily-rotating hash; your raw IP address and browser details are never stored, though a coarse country (derived from that IP, which itself is not kept) is recorded to see roughly where visitors come from. For forms, only that a form was started or submitted is recorded — never what you type into the fields. Accepting the consent banner sets a first-party cookie so returning visits can be counted; declining keeps the anonymous count only. Global Privacy Control is honored as a decline. No cross-site tracking and no advertising pixels.
Your choices
When you first visit, a consent banner lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. Declining keeps only an anonymous, aggregate count — no first-party cookie is set. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it as a decline automatically and don't show the banner. You can clear our cookies at any time from your browser settings.
Contact form
If you reach out through our contact form, we use the details you provide (such as your name, email, and message) only to reply to you and arrange a shoot. We don't sell this information or use it for advertising.
What we don't do
No advertising trackers, no cross-site profiling, no selling or renting your data, and no storing your raw IP address. Analytics are intentionally cookie-light and privacy-first.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date.
