Effective July 29, 2026
This policy explains the cookies Traveling Portrait sets when you use travelingportrait.com, a photographer's site built on Traveling Portrait, or your dashboard — what each one does, how long it lasts, and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It lets the site remember something about your visit — like staying signed in — the next time your browser makes a request.
We keep this short on purpose: Traveling Portrait sets exactly two cookies, and both exist to make the product work — not to track you.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
connect.sid |
Keeps you signed in to your Traveling Portrait dashboard so you don't have to log in on every page. | Strictly necessary | 30 days, or until you log out |
ml_nonce |
Confirms a magic-link login was opened in the same browser that requested it, to stop stolen links from being used elsewhere. | Strictly necessary | 15 minutes, or until the link is used |
We don't set advertising, cross-site tracking, or third-party analytics cookies — on travelingportrait.com or on any site built with Traveling Portrait. When we measure gallery engagement (page views, photo views, print-order clicks) for a photographer's own dashboard, we record that as an aggregate, first-party event tied to the site and photo involved — not to a cookie or any other identifier tied to you. Our payment provider, Stripe, may set its own cookies during checkout to prevent fraud; that use is governed by Stripe's own privacy policy, not this one.
Because both of our cookies are strictly necessary, there's no cookie banner or preference toggle to switch them off — blocking them would simply log you out or break magic-link login. If you'd rather not have them at all, you can block or delete cookies from travelingportrait.com in your browser's settings, though this will prevent you from staying signed in.
If the cookies we use change, we'll update this page and the effective date above.
