​
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on this website, what they do, and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.
​
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember preferences, improve performance, and in some cases collect information about how visitors use the site.
Cookies can be:
• Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted
​
2. How Cookies May Be Used on This Website
This website may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
• To ensure the website functions properly
• To support security and basic website operation
• To remember preferences or settings
• To help understand how visitors use the website
• To improve website performance and user experience
​
3. Types of Cookies That May Be Used
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They may be used for core features such as page navigation, security, form submission, and other basic site functions.
These cookies do not usually require consent where they are genuinely necessary for the service requested by the user.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
These cookies help show how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether any errors occur.
Analytics cookies are not usually considered strictly necessary and generally require consent before being used.
Functional Cookies
These cookies may remember choices you make, such as preferences or settings, in order to improve your experience of the website.
Depending on what they do, these may require consent if they are not strictly necessary.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services used on the website, for example payment services or embedded tools. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, consent should be obtained before they are used.
​
4. Consent
As a general rule, the use of cookies requires consent unless the cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or for a service you have specifically requested. Valid consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
This means that non-essential cookies, such as most analytics, advertising, and other optional tracking technologies, should not be placed on your device unless you have agreed to them.
You can usually accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or consent tool presented on the website, where available.
​
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
• View what cookies are stored
• Delete cookies
• Block some or all cookies
• Set preferences for certain websites
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website functions.
​
6. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies may process personal data, such as IP addresses or online identifiers. Where this happens, that processing must comply with data protection law, and your rights under data protection law continue to apply.
For more information about how personal data is handled, please see the Privacy Policy.
​
7. Third-Party Services
This website may use third-party services in connection with website functionality or payments.
For example:
• Stripe may place cookies or similar technologies where necessary in connection with secure payment processing
If additional third-party tools are used on the site in future, this Cookie Policy should be updated to reflect them.
​
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, website technologies, or how the website operates. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the latest version will always apply.
