Cookie notice. This Cookie Policy explains how Atlantic Image Defense LLC may use cookies, pixels, local storage, scripts, tags, log files, and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. By using this website, you acknowledge the use of strictly necessary technologies required for the website to function. Where legally required, non-essential cookies or tracking technologies should only be used with your consent.
This website is operated by Atlantic Image Defense LLC. The website is available at atlantic-image-defense.com. The company may be contacted at contact@atlantic-image-defense.com. The business contact address is 224 W 35th St Ste 500, New York, NY 10001.
This Cookie Policy is intended to provide clear information about the technologies that may be used on this website, the purposes for which they may be used, the difference between essential and non-essential technologies, and the choices available to visitors.
The website is primarily designed to present information about image monitoring, copyright evidence, visual rights support, and case-intake services for photographers, visual creators, stock contributors, agencies, publishers, brands, and other visual rights holders.
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies can allow a website to remember certain information about your visit, support website functionality, improve performance, help with security, or collect analytics information.
Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, session storage, web beacons, log files, scripts, software development kits, or other tools that store or access information on a device or collect information about website interactions.
Depending on the website configuration, hosting environment, security tools, analytics tools, forms, and future integrations, Atlantic Image Defense LLC may use the following categories of cookies or similar technologies:
| Category | Purpose | Consent Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | Required for basic website operation, page loading, form submission, security, session management, anti-spam protection, and technical delivery of requested services. | These are generally necessary for the website to function and may not require prior consent where permitted by law. |
| Security and Fraud Prevention Technologies | Used to protect forms, detect automated submissions, prevent abuse, preserve server integrity, and support safe operation of the website. | Usually treated as necessary where used strictly for security and abuse prevention. |
| Performance and Analytics Cookies | May help understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, technical errors, page performance, traffic sources, and general usage trends. | May require consent depending on jurisdiction, tool configuration, and whether data is anonymized or shared with third parties. |
| Preference Cookies | May remember visitor choices, such as cookie preferences, language, display preferences, or consent choices. | May be necessary where required to remember consent choices; otherwise may require consent depending on use. |
| Marketing or Tracking Cookies | May be used only if activated in the future for advertising, retargeting, audience measurement, campaign attribution, or cross-site tracking. | Should not be placed without prior consent where such consent is legally required. |
| Third-Party Embedded Content | May relate to embedded video, maps, forms, security tools, analytics tools, fonts, or other third-party features if activated. | Consent may be required depending on the third-party service and applicable law. |
Strictly necessary technologies support core website functions. These may include technologies required to load pages, operate contact forms, submit case-review requests, prevent spam, maintain security, remember cookie choices, or ensure technical reliability.
Because these technologies are required for the website to function or to provide a service requested by the visitor, they may be used without prior consent where permitted by applicable law. Visitors may be able to block them through browser settings, but doing so may cause the website or forms to stop working properly.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC may use analytics or performance technologies to understand website traffic, improve content, identify technical issues, measure page performance, and evaluate whether visitors can access key pages such as Services, Workflow, Contact, and Submit a Case.
If analytics tools are configured to collect personal data, share data with third parties, set persistent identifiers, or track users across websites, the website should request consent where required by law. Where analytics are used in a privacy-protective manner, such as with limited retention, IP anonymization, aggregated statistics, and no cross-site advertising use, consent requirements may vary by jurisdiction.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC does not intend to use marketing or advertising cookies unless such tools are specifically activated. If marketing, retargeting, advertising pixels, conversion tags, cross-site tracking, or similar technologies are activated in the future, the Cookie Policy should be updated and visitors should be provided with appropriate notice and consent choices where required.
Marketing cookies can be more privacy-sensitive because they may allow third parties to track browsing behavior across websites, build profiles, measure advertising performance, or deliver targeted advertisements.
Some website features may depend on third-party services. These can include hosting providers, email form processors, analytics tools, security services, embedded media providers, content delivery networks, font providers, or external platforms linked from the website.
Third-party providers may set or access cookies according to their own policies. Atlantic Image Defense LLC does not control every technical operation of third-party services. Visitors should review the privacy and cookie policies of third-party providers where relevant.
The website may use forms that allow visitors to contact Atlantic Image Defense LLC or submit an image case-review request. These forms may use technical measures to operate correctly, prevent spam, validate submissions, protect the server, and route messages to the appropriate mailbox.
Information submitted through forms is governed by the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Visitors should not submit unnecessary sensitive information through forms unless specifically requested and appropriate security measures have been confirmed.
If a cookie banner or consent management tool is implemented, the website may store a cookie or local storage entry to remember whether a visitor accepted, rejected, or customized cookie preferences. This prevents the website from repeatedly asking the same question and helps document the visitor’s choice.
Consent-choice cookies are generally used to respect user preferences and may be treated as necessary for compliance and preference management.
Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are usually deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier by the visitor or browser.
Retention periods depend on the type of cookie, the purpose of the cookie, the browser settings, the service provider, and applicable law. Atlantic Image Defense LLC seeks to use retention periods that are proportionate to the purpose of the technology and to avoid retaining cookie identifiers longer than reasonably necessary.
Most browsers allow visitors to block, delete, or manage cookies. Browser controls may allow users to refuse all cookies, delete cookies after browsing, block third-party cookies, or receive alerts before cookies are stored.
Cookie-control options vary by browser and device. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality, especially forms, security tools, preference management, or other services that depend on browser storage.
Where the website uses a cookie banner or consent management tool, visitors should be able to withdraw or modify consent through the available preference mechanism. If such a tool is not displayed, visitors may manage cookies through browser settings or contact Atlantic Image Defense LLC for information about current website tracking practices.
Withdrawing consent does not necessarily remove cookies already stored on a device. Visitors may need to delete existing cookies through their browser settings.
Where non-essential cookies require consent, visitors should be able to refuse them without being unfairly prevented from accessing the main website content, unless a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary for a requested service or function.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC intends to provide visitors with clear and proportionate choices if non-essential tracking technologies are implemented.
Some browsers or extensions may transmit “Do Not Track,” “Global Privacy Control,” or similar preference signals. Because technical and legal standards may vary by jurisdiction and browser, the website may not respond to every signal in the same way.
Where legally required and technically feasible, Atlantic Image Defense LLC will seek to honor applicable opt-out preference signals, particularly where they relate to sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral tracking.
Even where cookies are not used, the hosting environment may generate technical logs. These logs may include IP address, date and time of access, requested files, browser type, device information, referring page, server response codes, and similar technical data.
Server logs may be used for security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention, abuse detection, website maintenance, and operational integrity. Log retention depends on the hosting provider, security needs, and applicable legal or operational requirements.
Cookie and tracking rules may vary by jurisdiction. Visitors from the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, California, New York, and other jurisdictions may have different rights or protections regarding cookies, tracking technologies, online identifiers, analytics, and targeted advertising.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC seeks to apply a professional and privacy-conscious approach. However, technical implementation must match actual website tools. If additional analytics, advertising, embedded content, consent tools, or third-party scripts are added, the Cookie Policy should be updated accordingly.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC does not intend to sell cookie-derived personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling data for money. The company does not intend to share cookie data for cross-context behavioral advertising unless such a practice is specifically implemented and disclosed in an updated policy with appropriate choices where required.
Cookies and similar technologies may support website security and operational integrity. However, no technical measure is perfect. Visitors should maintain updated browsers, use appropriate device security, and avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary website forms.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website technology, third-party tools, legal requirements, consent practices, analytics configuration, or operational needs. The “Last updated” date will indicate the most recent revision.

Final compliance note. This Cookie Policy is designed to provide a professional framework for cookie and tracking disclosures. It does not replace a technical cookie audit. Before relying on it as final compliance documentation, Atlantic Image Defense LLC should verify which cookies, scripts, analytics tools, pixels, embedded services, and third-party technologies are actually active on the website.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC supports photographers, creators and visual rights holders with image monitoring, copyright evidence and responsible enforcement preparation.
