Cookie Policy
Hello there
Thank you for checking out my cookie policy. I am committed to ensure my website and the use of cookies, complies with UK laws on privacy and data protection. This policy sets out the types of cookies I use, the exact cookies used on my website, whether I am using any third-party cookies, how you can control my use of cookies, what their expiry dates are and how you can get in contact with me for more information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files of information, usually containing letters and numbers, that websites store on your browser, or the hard drive of your computer. You must however agree to these cookies being stored for them to be stored on your device. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others are used for analytics.
My website needs to use these cookies so I can understand what works well with my website, and what I can do to improve. These cookies also allow me to distinguish you from other website visitors, helping me to provide you with a seamless experience on my site.
What type of cookies do I use?
I use the following cookie types:
Essential Cookies – These can also be known as Strictly Necessary Cookies, and they’re very important for me to make sure my website runs as it should. As a result, these cookies are always automatically enabled, to make sure my website works sufficiently. Some examples of uses of essential cookies include the distribution of website traffic across multiple servers.
Analytical Cookies – These can also be known as Performance Cookies, and they gather information about how website visitors use a website. These cookies help me to keep count of the number of visitors on my website, and also helps me to understand how these visitors use my website. This enables me to understand what works well on my website, and what doesn’t work so well, so I can continuously improve the site for visitors. Some analytical cookies may not require consent if they are low-risk and used solely to improve website performance, in line with current PECR guidance.
Advertising Cookies – These can also be known as Targeting Cookies. These cookies track your visits to my website, including the pages you visit, and any links you have followed from said pages. This information is then used to display adverts to you, based on what I have learned about your preferences from these cookies.

If enabled in the future (e.g., through social media tracking pixels), these cookies would be used to understand your interests and show you relevant content on other platforms
Do we use any Third-Party Cookies?
Third party cookies are not set by me
How can I control these cookies?
You are able to control your use of cookies on our website. You can do the following:

· Select certain cookies you wish to use, and reject other cookies and;
· To decide which essential, analytical, functionality and targeting cookies my website sets, follow the below steps:
You can select “manage preferences or “decline all” in the cookie banner. But if you do so, this also blocks essential cookies, which means you may not be able to access all parts of the website, and the website may not work to the best of its ability for you.
Some low-risk analytics cookies (e.g. basic site usage tracking) may not require consent under updated PECR guidance, but I still aim to be transparent and give you control.
