1. Who we are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are
essential for the Website to work. Others help us understand usage, remember preferences, or
support marketing.
Cookies can be:
• Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser)
• Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them)
• First-party cookies (set by our Website)
• Third-party cookies (set by services we use)
We may use the following categories:
A) Strictly necessary cookies (always on)
These are required for the Website to function (e.g., security, load balancing, fraud prevention, and
saving cookie preferences). They do not require consent.
B) Functional cookies (optional)
These remember choices you make (e.g., certain preferences) to improve your experience.
C) Analytics cookies (optional)
These help us understand how visitors use the Website (e.g., page views, navigation patterns) so
we can improve performance.
D) Marketing cookies (optional)
These track activity across websites to help deliver relevant ads and measure campaign
performance (only if we use advertising pixels/tools).
Where we use any non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent via our cookie banner/
settings.
Depending on what features you use on our Website, third parties may set cookies, for example:
• Stripe (payments and fraud prevention)
• Substack (if you click through to subscribe)
• Embedded content (if we embed media from platforms such as YouTube/Instagram)
These third parties control their own cookies.
5. Managing cookies
You can manage cookies by:
• using our cookie settings banner (if available), or
• changing your browser settings to block/delete cookies (this may affect Website functionality)
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
