What are cookies?

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is a small text file that is placed on your machine to help the site provide a better user experience.

In general, cookies are used to retain user preferences and provide anonymised tracking data to third party applications like Squarespace Analytics. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better.

Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. This website uses cookies to track usage and help improve features and services of the site.
