Some cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser (known as session cookies). Others remain on your device for a period of time after your visit (known as persistent cookies).

They provide information such as:

Our website is hosted on the Squarespace platform.
Squarespace uses cookies that help operate, secure and maintain the website. Depending on the services enabled, Squarespace may also set optional analytics cookies once consent has been provided.
We also use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage certain website tags and integrations.
Google Tag Manager does not itself collect personal information or set analytics cookies. Instead, it manages website tags and ensures services such as Google Analytics are deployed appropriately.

how visitors found our website;
which pages are visited;
how visitors navigate the website;
how long visitors spend on pages; and
general information about website performance.
This information helps us improve our website and the services we provide.
Google Analytics cookies are only activated after you have given your consent through our cookie banner.

Google Analytics.
As our website develops, additional embedded services (such as videos, maps or appointment booking tools) may also use cookies where applicable.
Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy and cookie policies.
