1. What are Cookies?
​
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by the website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
A list of the cookies used on this website can be found below.
​
Cookies set by the website owner are called 'first party' cookies.
​
Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called 'third party' cookies. Third party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
​
2. Why do we use cookies?
​
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for the website to operate, and we refer to these as 'essential' or 'strictly necessary' cookies.
​
Other cookies also enable us me to track and target the interests of our users to enhance user experience.
Third parties serve cookies through my website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
​
3. How can I control cookies?
​
When you visit my Website, a cookie banner gives you the option to:
- Accept all cookies;
-Reject non-essential cookies, or;
-Manage your preferences.
​
Non-essential cookies — such as those used for analytics and marketing (including Meta Pixel) — will only be set with your explicit consent.
​
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by accessing the cookie preferences icon that appears on the bottom of each website page.

7. Data Security
​
I use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to encrypt data transmission and protect your information when interacting with my website.
8. Use of Google Analytics (GA4)
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to help me understand how visitors interact with the site. GA4 collects anonymous data such as:
​
-
Pages visited
-
Time spent on the site
-
Browser/device type
-
General location (IP anonymised)​
​
GA4 automatically anonymises IP addresses and complies with the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. Data collected is processed under Google’s Privacy Policy.

You will be asked to consent to the use of cookies, including GA4, upon your first visit. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
​9. Use of Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram)​
​
10.9 I use the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) on my Facebook page to help measure the effectiveness of my social media advertising campaigns. The Meta Pixel is a piece of code that tracks user interactions with Meta ads to understand how people engage with my content. This helps me optimise my ad campaigns and deliver more relevant content to my audience.
​
Please note: The Meta Pixel is not currently active on my website. If I choose to install it on my website in the future, it will only be activated with your explicit consent via the cookie banner. If that happens, you will be able to manage or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings on my website.
​
The Meta Pixel may collect data such as device type, browsing activity, and interactions with ads on Facebook or Instagram. This data is processed by Meta Platforms Inc. in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
​
You can also manage your ad preferences directly via Facebook Ad Preferences.
