What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and help me understand how the site is used. Some cookies are set by this website directly (first party), and some are set by third party services I use, like Google Analytics or Meta (second and third party).

The cookies this site uses

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function and can't be switched off. They're usually only set in response to actions you take, like setting privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. Set by Squarespace as part of standard site functionality.

Analytics cookies

These help me understand how visitors use the site, which pages are popular, and where improvements are needed. This site uses Squarespace's built in analytics and Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies only run with your consent.

Advertising and retargeting cookies

These are used to show relevant advertising and to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. This site uses the Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel, which may also be used to show you relevant ads on Facebook or Instagram after you've visited this site. These cookies only run with your consent.

Example cookie list

[Fill in with the exact cookie names once Google Analytics and Meta Pixel are live, this list is a typical starting point:]

•                 ga, ga_*, Google Analytics, distinguishes unique visitors, typically expires after 13 months

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit this site, a cookie banner lets you accept or decline non essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by [reopening the cookie banner via the link in the site footer, once set up in Squarespace].

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, most browsers let you see what cookies you have and delete them individually or block cookies from particular or all websites. Doing this may affect how well this and other websites work.

•                 Opt out of Google Analytics: use the Google Analytics Opt out Browser Add on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

•                 Manage Meta ad preferences: visit facebook.com/adpreferences, or Meta's Off Facebook Activity settings

Changes to this policy

I may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies or tools used on this site change. Please check back periodically. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version.
