This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how this WordPress website uses them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside my Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and provide information about how the site is used.
Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them).
2. How I use cookies on this site
This site uses cookies for the following purposes.
A. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to work and cannot be switched off in my systems. WordPress may set essential cookies to support core functions such as security, page navigation, and preference storage.
B. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. This helps me improve site content and performance. These cookies collect information such as pages visited, time on site, and how you arrived at the site. The information is reported in aggregate.
Analytics cookies are used only with your consent, where a cookie banner is in place.
Typical Google Analytics cookies may include:
Cookie | Purpose | Typical duration |
_ga | Distinguishes users and tracks visits | Up to 2 years |
_gid | Distinguishes users for short-term analysis | Up to 24 hours |
_gat (or similar) | Helps manage request rate | Up to 1 minute |
ga[container-id] | Maintains session state | Up to 2 years |
Cookie names and durations can change depending on your Analytics configuration and Google updates.
C. Embedded scheduling and meeting tools
This website may include links or embedded elements from:
Calendly
TidyCal
Zoom
If you click a booking link, load an embedded booking page, or open embedded meeting content, those third parties may set cookies or similar technologies on your device. These cookies are controlled by the third parties, not by me.
3. Third-party cookies
When you interact with third-party services on this site (Google Analytics, Calendly, TidyCal, Zoom), those providers may collect data in line with their own privacy and cookie policies. I do not control their cookies.
4. Consent and cookie controls
Under UK rules, non-essential cookies (including analytics and certain third-party cookies) should be used only with consent.
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
A. Cookie banner and settings
If this site uses a cookie banner, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your preferences at any time via the cookie settings link on the site.
B. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can:
delete cookies already stored
block third-party cookies
block all cookies
Please note: blocking some cookies may affect how the site functions, and embedded tools such as booking links may not work correctly.
