1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files your browser saves when you visit a site. They make the site work properly, remember preferences and, with your consent, show how it is being used.
2. Which cookies this site uses
2.1. Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to work at all. They do not require consent.
- WordPress: session and authentication cookies (only active once you log in).
- Cart placement and forms: remembering data from forms you have not submitted, for the length of the session.
- Cookie banner: remembering your choice about cookies (1 year).
2.2. Functional cookies
These improve the experience (remembering language preferences, and so on). Enabled with your consent.
2.3. Analytics cookies
These help me see which content gets read, where the traffic comes from, and how to improve the site. They are only switched on if you give express consent.
- Google Analytics 4: with IP anonymisation on, aggregate data. Only switched on if you accept analytics cookies in the banner.
2.4. Third-party cookies
Some features rely on external services that may set cookies of their own:
- YouTube / Vimeo: if the site embeds videos.
- Instagram / TikTok: if you embed posts.
- Brevo: newsletter delivery (only if you subscribe).
3. How to manage cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- In the site banner: choose “Accept all”, “Accept essential only”, or customise.
- In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Look for “Privacy settings” or “Cookies”.
