Cookie Policy

Last updated: 11 October 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may also be used to remember preferences, support website functionality or understand how a website is used.

2. How we use cookies

Our website is hosted on Squarespace. It uses cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, security and, where enabled and permitted, website analytics.

We use Squarespace's cookie preference controls to allow visitors to manage their preferences for non-essential cookie categories.

3. Types of cookies

Necessary cookies

These support core website functionality, security and the operation of the website. They cannot be switched off through our website's preference controls where they are strictly necessary.

Performance and analytics cookies

These may be used to understand how visitors use the website and to help us assess and improve its performance. Our current setup uses Squarespace Analytics. Non-essential analytics technologies should only operate in accordance with the preferences visitors have selected and applicable law.

Advertising cookies

These may be used for advertising or tracking purposes if such functionality is enabled. We have not deliberately enabled a separate advertising integration. The availability of this category in our consent interface does not, by itself, mean that advertising cookies are being used.

4. Managing your preferences

When you visit our website, you can use the cookie preference controls to manage the available categories.

You can revisit the cookie settings to change your preferences. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, although blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

5. Third-party services

Our website links to Instagram, but does not intentionally embed an Instagram feed. Following that link takes you to Instagram, where its own cookies and privacy practices apply.

Squarespace and other service providers may update the technologies used to operate their services. We will review this policy if our website configuration or use of cookies changes.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the website, its functionality or applicable requirements. The latest version will be published here.
