2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that websites place on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit them.
They can be used to:

Similar technologies can also be used for these purposes, including pixels, scripts, tags, browser storage and other technologies that store or access information on your device.

3. How we use cookies
Our website is built using Squarespace.
Squarespace places certain cookies and similar technologies on visitors' devices to operate the website and, depending on your cookie choices and our website settings, provide analytics and performance information.
We may also use third-party services or embedded content that place their own cookies or use similar technologies.
The cookies used on our website generally fall into the following categories.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function properly or to provide a feature you've requested.
They may be used for purposes such as:
website security
preventing fraudulent or malicious activity

We use this information to understand how the website is being used and to improve its content, design and performance.
Where analytics technology requires consent, it will only be activated after you have made the appropriate choice through our cookie settings.
In some circumstances, UK law allows limited website analytics to be used without consent where the sole purpose is producing statistical information to improve the website, the information isn't used to identify or track individual visitors and visitors are given a simple way to object.
Functional cookies

For example, these may remember:
preferences
display settings
previously dismissed website notices
certain video or embedded content settings
Some functional cookies may be strictly necessary, while others may require your consent depending on their purpose.
