This policy assumes you will add Google Analytics to the site. Update the table below to reflect exactly what is active on the live site before publishing — including the consent banner tool you use to manage preferences.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is used.

2. How we use cookies

Our website uses cookies for a small number of purposes: to allow the site to function correctly, and, where you consent, to help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. The categories of cookie we use are set out below.

Strictly necessary — no consent required

Examples: Squarespace session and security cookies

Purpose: required for the website to function, e.g. security, load balancing, and form submission.

Analytics — requires your consent

Examples: Google Analytics

Purpose: helps us understand how visitors use the site, e.g. pages viewed, time on site, and general location.

Functional — requires your consent

Examples: [e.g. embedded Google Map, if used]

Purpose: enables additional features such as maps or embedded content.

Marketing — requires your consent

Examples: [insert if/when used, e.g. Facebook Pixel]

Purpose: used to measure and target advertising, if and when we use it.

3. Your consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies (analytics, functional, and marketing categories). Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, as they are essential for the website to operate.

Our cookie banner gives equal prominence to accepting and rejecting cookies, and does not use pre-ticked boxes for any non-essential category. You can change your preferences at any time by [insert method — e.g. clicking the cookie preferences link in the website footer].

Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using our website or contacting us — it will only affect our ability to analyse how the site is used.

4. Google Analytics

Where you consent to analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors arrived at the site. This data is processed in an aggregated and, where possible, anonymised form. We have enabled IP anonymisation within Google Analytics. Google Analytics cookies do not activate until you provide consent via our cookie banner.

You can find more information about how Google processes data in its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. How to manage or withdraw consent

You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by:

•        [Insert instructions specific to your cookie consent tool — e.g. clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the website footer]

•        Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies (note this may affect other websites you visit, and blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality)

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we add new tools or features to our website. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.

7. Contact us

If you have any questions about this policy or about the cookies used on our website, please contact us at [insert email address once set up].
