This Cookie Policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.
They can help a website operate correctly, remember preferences, maintain security and provide information about how visitors use the website.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

3. Types of cookies used
This website may use the following categories of cookies.
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and securely.
They may support functions such as:
website security
network management
page navigation
contact-form functionality
remembering cookie-consent choices
Essential cookies cannot normally be disabled through the website’s cookie controls because the website may not operate correctly without them.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help me understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited and how people navigate between pages.
The information is used to evaluate and improve the website.
Analytics cookies will only be activated where required consent has been provided.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies may remember choices or support enhanced features provided through the website.
These cookies will only be used where appropriate consent has been provided, unless they are strictly necessary to provide a feature specifically requested by the visitor.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising, track visits across websites or support content supplied by third-party platforms.
I do not intentionally use marketing cookies unless an advertising, tracking or third-party marketing feature has been added to the website.
Where such cookies are used, they will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been provided.
4. Squarespace cookies
Squarespace may place cookies that are required to operate, secure and deliver this website.
The particular cookies used can vary depending on the website features enabled, integrations installed and services used.
The cookie-preference panel available through this website provides more detailed and current information about the cookies and technologies detected on the site.
5. Third-party services
The website may include or link to third-party services, such as:
website analytics
LinkedIn or other social-media platforms
embedded video or media
scheduling or contact services
external documents or resources
These providers may set their own cookies when their content or services are loaded.
Where consent is required, third-party content or tracking should not be activated until you have made an appropriate cookie choice.
Third parties process information according to their own privacy and cookie notices.
6. Your cookie choices
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner that allows you to:
accept all cookies
reject non-essential cookies
select particular cookie categories
Essential cookies may still be used because they are required for the website to operate.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the Manage Cookies or Cookie Settings link available on the website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
7. Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.
Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of this and other websites.
Instructions vary between browsers, so consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for more information.
