What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on a device. Cookies can improve a visitors’ browsing experience because they help websites remember preferences and understand how people use different features.

How I use cookies

Cookies are used to help identify your computer so I can tailor your experience, and understand how people use my site so I can improve it's structure, content and usability. I can't identify you personally from this information.

Overall, cookies help provide you with a better website, by enabling me to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives me access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with me.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Disabling cookies

Cookies from visitors are not collected until they accept the cookie policy in my cookie banner.

The cookies used on this site

My site is built using Squarespace and as such, Squarespace places cookies on the browsers of visitors to the sites they build.

This link will give you further information on the cookies Squarespace uses.

Squarespace uses some necessary cookies because they allow visitors to navigate and use key features on my site. These cookies vary from site to site depending on the features it uses. 

For example, on my site there are Analytics and Performance cookies to collect information about how visitors interact with the site. I use Google Analytics cookies to help me to improve my website by collecting and reporting information on how visitors use it. However, there are no e-commerce cookies as there is no shopping cart or checkout in operation on the site.

Changes to this policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When I make changes, I will update the “Effective Date” at the top of the Cookie Policy.
