 * Hi,
 * Photo Gallery creates a unique session for your device, allowing some functions
   like captcha verification and sorting of images to work. The ID of the session
   is stored in PHPSESSID cookie. No personal or device information is collected
   or stored. This cookie is temporary and expires once the visitor leaves the site.
 * Please let us know if you have further questions.
 * Thank you! Have a nice day!
