1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help improve your browsing experience, ensure functionality, and provide analytical insights. We may also use similar technologies (such as pixels or device fingerprinting), which are treated the same way under UK law.

Our use of cookies is regulated by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). The UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is responsible for enforcing these rules.

• Analytics cookies – Help us understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., pages viewed, time on page). These are set only with your consent.

• Functionality cookies – Remember your preferences (e.g., language or region) for a better browsing experience.

Some cookies are session-based (expire when you close your browser), while others are persistent and may remain on your device for up to 13 months unless you clear them.

5. Third-party cookies (Squarespace & embeds)

Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which sets its own cookies for analytics, security, and site performance. See the Squarespace Cookie Policy for details.
If we embed third-party content (e.g., YouTube, Google Maps, social media), those services may set their own cookies. We don’t control these; you can manage them via your browser settings or through that provider’s tools.
