This Cookie Policy (“Policy“) explains how NEWMU LIMITED (“NEWMU“, “we“, “us“) uses cookies and similar technologies on the photo-mind.com website, its sub-domains and related services (collectively, the “Platform“). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
By continuing to browse or use the Platform, you agree that we can store and access Essential Cookies on your device. Non-Essential Cookies (analytics, advertising, functional) are used only with your explicit consent via our Consent Management Platform (“CMP“).
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. They enable the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back.
We also use tracking pixels, local storage and SDKs in mobile contexts; these technologies are treated as cookies for the purposes of this Policy.
2. WHY WE USE COOKIES

| Essential | Core site functionality, secure login, payment checkout, load balancing | Legitimate Interests (PECR Reg. 6(4)) |
| Analytics | Measure traffic and usage patterns to improve performance (e.g., Google Analytics 4) | Consent |
| Advertising / Retargeting | Show personalised or interest-based ads on third-party platforms (e.g., Meta, TikTok pixels) | Consent |
| Functional | Remember preferences (currency, language) and enhance user experience | Consent |
Our planned analytics and marketing stack comprises GA4 events, Meta & TikTok pixels, and Hotjar heat-maps as recommended in the website audit.
