Cookie Policy
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, keep it secure, and help us understand how it is used.
2. The cookies we use
Our website runs on Squarespace and takes card payments through Stripe. We use two kinds of cookies:
• Strictly necessary cookies — needed for the website to work: page navigation, security, fraud prevention, the checkout/cart, and remembering choices such as language. These are always on and do not need your consent.
• Analytics cookies — used by Squarespace to collect aggregate statistics (for example, how many people visit and which pages are popular) so we can improve the site. We do not use these to track you across other websites or to show you adverts.
Our booking tool (Squarespace Scheduling) and the video tools we use for lessons (Zoom and Bramble) may set their own strictly necessary cookies when you book or join a session, so those services work and stay secure.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not use Google Analytics or social-media tracking pixels. [Update this if you add any.]
Examples of the cookies you may encounter (exact names can vary — see Squarespace’s current list, linked below):

3. Your choices
Because our analytics cookies are used only for our own aggregate statistics, UK rules (PECR, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, in force since 5 February 2026) allow us to use them without asking for consent — but you can still object. You can turn off non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie banner or settings on our website, or by adjusting your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.
