 About Site :: Cookies

  It appears that cookies are disabled on this browser. This page will not function fully.

After years of resisting some "newer" technologies in order to keep this site friendly to older browsers and people paranoid about security I have finally decided to use cookies on this site. What is a cookie?

I use cookies to provide you with a better experience while browsing my site. You can obviously view any cookies on your computer but this page will also allow you to view and manage most of the cookies I drop here.

Below you will see the cookie's name in

bold

followed by a description of the cookie, a text box with it's current value and, when appropriate, a button you can use to clear the cookie or change its value.

cart

This cookie keeps your shopping cart details. There is a comma-delimited list of items, each with five parts, the image number, quantity, product code, price and size. For example,

21124|1|c|79|16x4

means image #21124, one c-size photo, costing A$79 and 16x4" in size.

Note that none of your personal details are stored here (or in any other cookie), when you submit the secure form in the giftshop checkout PayPal handles all the payment details.

 

 

myportfolio

This cookie keeps a record of the images you have selected for your portfolio gallery. This is a comma-delimited list with numbers indicating the images you have selected.

 

 

filter

This cookie remembers the location and category you have chosen in the FOTOfinder. There are two comma-seperated values in the format "location,category"

Location will be something like "uk-ldn" for UK-London.
Category will be something like "wl-do" for wildlife-domestic

So "uk-ldn,wl-do" means domestic animals in London.

An asterix means "all locations" or "all categories", eg. "*,wl-do" means domestic animals anywhere.

If your last search was a keyword search this cookie will be null and the keyword will be stored in the keyword cookie.

 

keyword

This cookie remembers the keyword or photo number you typed in the FOTOfinder. It will be either words or photo numbers eg. "london boat" or "182 2000 23456".

If your last search was a location/category search this cookie will be null and the location and category will be stored in the filter cookie.

 

 

preferences

This cookie keeps a few details about your preferences in areas like the shopping cart. It is a comma-delimited list with values as follows.

Field 1: curr_code, a code for your default currency
Field 2: not used
Field 3: not used
Field 4: shipping, overseas or within Australia


 

light_table_options

This cookie keeps details about your selected options for the light table.

Field 1: show_details, show film type etc
Field 2: hv, show horizontal photos, vertical, or both


 

nostartup

When you open a MONOscapes gallery the startup page gives you a spiel about the way galleries work, and also a step wedge showing the range of grey tones you should be able to see on your screen to view the images properly.

This cookie is used to disable or enable this startup screen...

yes will disable the screen.
no will enable the screen.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

What is a cookie?
Cookies are titbits of information stored on your machine. They can't do anything to your computer and can only be read by the web site that put them there.

Cookies are used to keep track of things like your name so a web site can say "Hello Fred" every time you visit.

My reasons for using cookies are detailed above where I describe the use of each cookie I "drop" onto your computer.

Cookies can be disabled by your browser and you don't need them to get a lot from this site, but many of the features can only work with the help of cookies.
