What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on a computer, telephone, tablet or other device when you use a website.

Websites may also use similar technologies, including local storage, pixels and scripts.

How this website uses cookies

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • provide essential website functions;

  • remember your privacy choices;

  • protect forms and the website from misuse;

  • maintain security;

  • provide optional features; and

  • measure website performance.

Cookies will not be used to infer sensitive information about your health, sex life, sexual orientation, relationships or therapy interests for advertising.

Framer Analytics

This website is built using Framer.

Framer’s built-in analytics operate without cookies or persistent identifiers. They provide aggregated information about website visits and do not require optional-cookie consent.

This only applies to Framer’s built-in analytics. Other embedded tools, analytics services or advertising technologies may require consent.

Types of cookies


Strictly necessary

These are required to operate or protect the website, remember your privacy choice, submit a form or provide another feature you have requested.

They do not require consent where they are strictly necessary.

Functional

These support optional features or remember additional preferences.

Where they are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated with the required consent.

Analytics

These help measure how the website is used.

If an analytics service uses cookies or accesses information on your device, it will be identified through Cookie Settings and used only where legally permitted.

Marketing

With your permission, this website uses Klaviyo’s onsite script to provide newsletter sign-up forms and support email marketing. Klaviyo may set the first-party cookie __kla_id to assign an identifier to a browser, recognise an identified visitor and associate website activity with a Klaviyo profile. Klaviyo states that this cookie may last for up to two years, although browser restrictions may shorten this period. Klaviyo is blocked unless you enable both Analytics and Marketing in Cookie Settings. You can withdraw your consent at any time through Cookie Settings in the website footer.

Embedded services

External video, audio, booking, payment or social-media services may use their own cookies.

Where consent is required, the embedded service should not activate until you have made the appropriate choice.

Opening a standard link to another website may allow that provider to use cookies under its own policy.

Your choices

Where optional cookies are used, the cookie banner will allow you to:

  • accept optional cookies;

  • reject optional cookies; or

  • manage individual categories.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from using the main website.

You can change your decision at any time through Cookie Settings in the website footer.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings.

International processing

Some technology providers process information outside the United Kingdom.

Framer states that its services are hosted through Amazon Web Services facilities in the United States. Further information is provided in the Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when website technologies or legal requirements change.

The latest version will appear on this page with its revision date.
