Cookie policy

Only essential cookies: the ones that keep you signed in, keep the register secure and let your browser load the images you are allowed to see, and remember your cookie choice. Essential cookies do not need your consent under UK and EU law, and the site does not work without them.

The site also keeps a few small settings in your browser’s own storage, for the same reason: which sections of a page you left open, a note that you chose to skip the first-time questions, and a note that you have just signed out or reset your password so the next page can say so. They stay in your browser and are not sent to us.

A little more is kept there if a link brings you here or you join, and some of it is sent to us, as part of what you give us. If the link that brought you carried a referral code or said where you found it, that is remembered until you join or close the tab, and sent with your details if you join. When you join, the email address you give is remembered until you close the tab, so that the next page can show which inbox to check and “Send it again” can resend the confirmation email. A copy of the first name you give us is also kept, beside a fingerprint of your email address (a code worked out from the address, not the address itself), so that the page where you create your account does not ask for your name again, and uses it only for an invitation to that address. That copy is sent to us only if you create that account; the fingerprint is never sent. Both are removed when you create your account in that browser. Otherwise they are used for up to 14 days, and once they are older than that the next page of this site you open removes them.

No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and no tracking pixels. We do not sell your data, and we do not build a profile of you to target ads.

We count visits to our public pages, such as the home page and the application form, to see how people find the register and where they stop. We use Plausible Analytics, which sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device. Its script checks one setting in your browser, used only to switch counting off, and never sends it. It counts only our public pages, the application form and the sign-up and sign-in pages, whether or not you are signed in, never a record, your account or anything you edit, and it never receives the part of a link that can carry a code.

It sees the page, the site you came from, your browser and device type, how far down the page you scroll and how long it is open, that you started and sent the application form and whether you chose model, creator or studio, and the country, region and city your IP address points to. It does not keep your IP address, and it gives us totals only, so we cannot pick you out. More in our privacy notice.

To be left out, choose “Don’t count me” below or on the cookie notice. From then on the script is not called again, and on your next visit it does not load.

We record your choice, including “Don’t count me”, in a first-party cookie for twelve months. Change it at any time here, or clear cookies in your browser to be asked again. For everything else we hold, see our privacy notice.
