What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

They can enable websites to operate correctly, maintain security, remember information or preferences, understand how visitors use a website and measure website or marketing performance.

The relevant rules are not limited to conventional cookies. Websites may also use other storage or access technologies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local or web storage and similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, a visitor's device.

References to “cookies” in this policy should therefore be read, where appropriate, as including these similar technologies.

Types of cookies and technologies we use

The particular technologies operating on our website may change as we update the website or the services we use. Broadly, they fall within the following categories.

Services and third-party providers

Our website is built and hosted using Squarespace. Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to provide, operate, protect and maintain the website and its functionality.

We may also use third-party technologies for purposes including analytics, website performance, user-experience analysis and, where enabled, marketing measurement.

Depending upon the technologies enabled on the website from time to time, providers may include:

• Squarespace;
• Google services, including analytics technologies where enabled;
• Hotjar for website and user-experience analysis;
• Meta technologies where enabled for marketing or measurement; and
• website performance and optimisation providers.

Some third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie documentation. The precise technologies used may change as we develop our website or change service providers.

Consent and non-essential cookies

Where applicable law requires consent before information is stored on, or accessed from, your device, we seek that consent before activating the relevant non-essential technology.

Consent requires an affirmative choice. We do not treat merely continuing to browse the website as consent to non-essential cookies where consent is required.

You are free to refuse non-essential technologies where consent is required, and you may subsequently change or withdraw your consent.

Managing your cookie preferences

Where available, our website's cookie consent controls allow you to make choices about non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Depending upon the consent mechanism currently operating on the website, you may be able to:

• accept permitted non-essential cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies;
• select particular categories of technologies; and
• change or withdraw a previous consent choice.

You can also manage cookies using the settings available in your web browser. Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and control how websites store information on your device.

Browser controls vary between providers and devices. Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary technologies, may affect the operation or functionality of websites.

How long cookies remain on your device

The duration for which a cookie or similar technology operates depends upon its purpose and configuration.

Session technologies

Some technologies operate only during a browsing session and expire or are removed when the browser session ends.

Persistent technologies

Other technologies may remain on a device for a specified period or until they are removed, depending upon their purpose and the settings applied by the relevant provider.

We periodically review the technologies used by the website and may update this policy where our use of them materially changes.

Personal data collected through cookies

Information generated through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal data where it identifies, relates to or can reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.

Where personal data is processed through website technologies, our processing is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains in greater detail how we process personal data, the lawful bases on which we rely, international transfers, retention, security and your data protection rights.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, technologies we use, service providers, applicable law or regulatory guidance.

The date displayed at the top of this policy identifies when it was last updated.

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically, particularly after material changes to the website or its cookie consent controls.
