Cookie Policy
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of information stored on your device when you visit a website. It records how you move around the site, so that on a return visit the site can recognise you and tailor what it shows you. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes.
Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your device. We are required to obtain your consent for all non-essential cookies used on our website, and these are only set once you have given that consent. You can block or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. However, if you block essential cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.
How we use cookies
Where you consent, we use cookies to understand how you use our website and to spot patterns in how it's used. This helps us develop and improve the site and the services we offer.
Cookies are either:
Session cookies — stored only during your visit and automatically deleted when you close your browser. They usually store an anonymous session ID that lets you browse without logging in to each page, and do not collect personal data from your device.
Persistent cookies — stored as a file on your device and remaining after you close your browser, to be read again on your next visit. We use persistent cookies for our website analytics, including Google Analytics.
Cookies can also be categorised as follows:
Strictly necessary cookies — essential to let you use the website effectively, such as when buying a product or service. Without these, the services on our site cannot be provided. They do not gather information about you for marketing or for remembering where you've been online.
Performance cookies — these let us monitor and improve the site's performance, for example by counting visits, identifying traffic sources, and seeing which pages are most popular.
Functionality cookies — these let the site remember choices you make and provide enhanced features, such as relevant updates or requested services like viewing a video. The information they collect is usually anonymised.
Targeting cookies — these record your visit, the pages you view and the links you follow, and may be used to make our website and any advertising more relevant to your interests.
First- and third-party cookies — first-party cookies are set by our website; third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose services we use on our site.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by the third-party services we use to run and improve it. These currently include:
Squarespace — our website platform, for essential site functionality, security and its own built-in analytics.
Google Analytics — to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
Advertising platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook — where we run advertising campaigns, these may set cookies to measure and target ads.
The specific cookies set can change as these services update. You can opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the cookie banner when you first visit our site, and change your choice at any time. Different browsers also provide their own methods to block and delete cookies — please refer to your browser provider for details on how to do this.
Non-essential cookies expire after a set period, which varies by cookie, and you can clear them at any time through your browser.
