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:

  • make a website function correctly

  • remember your preferences

  • understand how visitors use a website

  • measure website performance

  • support security

  • remember your cookie choices

  • measure or personalise advertising

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.

For simplicity, we refer to these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

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

  • remembering cookie preferences

  • maintaining website sessions

  • preventing technical errors

  • allowing forms or other website functionality to operate

These cookies don't normally require your consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the website or service you've requested.

Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how people use our website.

They may collect information including:

  • pages visited

  • number of visits

  • length of visits

  • traffic sources

  • device and browser information

  • interactions with pages

  • website performance

  • general visitor behaviour

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

Functional cookies help provide enhanced functionality or remember choices you make.

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.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Where used, marketing technologies may help us understand the effectiveness of advertising or marketing activity.

They can potentially be used to:

  • measure advertising conversions

  • understand whether somebody visited our website following an advert

  • measure campaign performance

  • create advertising audiences

  • limit how often an advert is shown

  • personalise advertising

Marketing and advertising cookies aren't placed without the required consent.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices, and we recommend reviewing their privacy information if you'd like more detail.

7. Cookies used for advertising

If we use advertising platforms such as Google or Meta to measure or support our own advertising activity, these platforms may use pixels, tags, cookies or similar tracking technologies.

These technologies may collect information about interactions with our website and advertising.

We won't intentionally activate advertising or behavioural tracking technologies that require consent until you've consented to the relevant category through our cookie settings.

When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie banner allowing you to make choices about non-essential cookies.

Depending on the options available, you may be able to:

  • accept cookies

  • decline non-essential cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because they're required for the website to work correctly.

Your cookie preferences may themselves be stored using a cookie so that we can remember the choice you've made.

9. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can change or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time.

You can do this using the cookie settings or cookie management option available on our website, where provided.

You can also remove existing cookies through your browser settings.

13. How long cookies remain on your device

Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its purpose and the provider that sets it.
