Cookies policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files, to improve your experience on our website and to show you personalised content.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as ‘first-party cookies’, such as those used for website analytics) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you’re viewing, known as ‘third-party cookies’.

We use first-party cookies to record how you use our website so we can bring you the best experience we can, but we don’t sell the information collected by our first-party cookies.

Where external content is displayed on our website, we may use third-party cookies, but we don’t see any of the information they contain, and in any case none of it contains any personal data.

We don’t disclose the information to third-parties either, except where required by law.

What do cookies do?

Depending on their function and intended purpose, cookies can be divided into four categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies are required for the smooth operation of a website, for example, identifying a registered user, and where disabling them may mean the user can’t access their account.

Performance Cookies are used to analyse how visitors use a website and to monitor performance.

Functional Cookies allow a website to remember your preferences, for example, when saving you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access the site.

Targeting Cookies allow advertisers to serve you with ads that follow you around the web.

How do you use cookies?

We use Google Analytics & Squarespace Analytics cookies (in the ‘performance’ category) for monitoring website traffic - it’s pretty helpful to know how you got here, where you went, what browser/device you’re using etc.

All information is recorded anonymously and doesn't provide or share any user-identifiable information.

What does this mean to me?

Now this is the important bit - by continuing to use our website you agree that we can place the cookies as described above on your computer for the reasons described.

What if I change my mind?

That’s fine - you’re free to control and/or delete cookies entirely as you wish. You can learn more about cookies set by other companies on Your Online Choices .
