Effective date: October 1, 2025

1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.

We use Squarespace to host and operate our site, which means that some cookies are placed by Squarespace to ensure it functions properly and to collect basic, anonymised analytics.

By continuing to browse our website, or by accepting cookies through the cookie banner, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites operate efficiently, provide security, and collect information about how visitors use them.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

a) Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off.

They enable core features such as:

  • Secure browsing and page navigation;

  • Form submissions (e.g., our contact and newsletter forms);

  • Basic site security and load balancing.

Because these cookies are essential for the website to function, they do not require consent under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

b) Performance and Analytics Cookies

Squarespace uses its own built-in analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site, such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent on them;

  • Browser type and device information;

  • General location (country or region).

This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. It is used solely to understand how our website is used and to improve its content and performance.

Activity Log / Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us analyse visitor interactions with the site, such as page views, clicks, and navigation patterns. The data collected is used exclusively for statistical purposes and website optimisation.

Where applicable, we may store this data anonymously or pseudonymously, in accordance with the GDPR (EU data protection law).

c) Third-Party Cookies (if applicable)

Some pages on our website may include embedded content from third parties (such as videos, maps or social media feeds).

These third parties may set their own cookies, which we do not control. We recommend reviewing the cookie or privacy policies of those providers for more information.

4. Managing Cookies

When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also change your preferences at any time through your browser settings.

To manage or delete cookies, follow your browser’s instructions. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how our website functions.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
