What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website.
They help websites remember information about your visit and allow certain features of a website to work correctly.
Cookies can also be used to understand how visitors use a website and, where applicable, support other website features.
How I use cookies
My website is hosted through Squarespace, and Squarespace and other services used on my website may place cookies or use similar technologies on your device.
Depending on the features enabled on my website, cookies may be used to:
Keep the website functioning correctly
Remember certain preferences
Support website security
Enable shopping and checkout functionality
Understand how visitors use my website
Improve the performance and experience of my website
Support website features and functionality
I only use non-essential cookies where the appropriate consent or other lawful basis required by applicable law is in place.
Types of cookies
Essential cookies
Some cookies are necessary for my website to function properly.
These may support things such as website security, navigation, shopping baskets, checkout and other essential website functions.
Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, consent may not be required under applicable cookie rules.
I will still provide information about the use of these cookies as part of this policy.
Analytics cookies
Where analytics tools are enabled on my website, cookies or similar technologies may be used to help me understand how visitors use my website, such as which pages are visited and how people navigate the site.
This information can help me understand what is useful to visitors and improve the website.
Analytics cookies are not automatically treated as essential cookies. Where consent is required, they will only be used after you have given the appropriate consent.
Marketing and advertising cookies
If I use marketing, advertising or social media tracking tools on my website, these may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising, understand how people interact with content or personalise advertising.
Where consent is required, these cookies or technologies will only be used after you have given the appropriate consent.
At present, I do not use this policy to suggest that marketing or advertising cookies are always active on my website. Their use may depend on the services and features I have enabled.
Your cookie choices
Where non-essential cookies are used, I will provide appropriate options for you to accept or refuse them.
Consent should be given through a clear positive action, and you should be able to change or withdraw your choices where applicable. Simply continuing to browse a website does not, by itself, amount to valid consent for non-essential cookies.
You can also manage or disable cookies through your web browser settings.
Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

Some features on my website may be provided by third-party services. These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Depending on the features enabled on my website, these may include services provided by:
Squarespace
Payment providers
Social media platforms
Analytics providers
Other third-party services used on my website
Third-party services are responsible for their own use of cookies and similar technologies, and their use may be subject to their own privacy policies and terms.
Where required, I will take appropriate steps to ensure that non-essential third-party cookies or similar technologies are only used with the required consent.
Managing cookies through your browser
