Cookie Policy

Eileen Haywood — Author https://www.eileenhaywood.com

Last updated: 28 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally.

Our website is built and hosted on the Wix platform (Wix.com Ltd.). At this time we do not add any cookies of our own, and we do not use third-party tracking tools such as Google Analytics or advertising pixels. All cookies described in this policy are placed by Wix to operate, secure, and support the website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance and security, and to remember your preferences. Cookies cannot harm your device and do not give us access to anything else stored on it.

Some cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"). Others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them ("persistent cookies").

2. How Cookies Are Used on Our Site

Because our website runs on Wix, cookies are set by the Wix platform to:

  • Keep the site secure and protect against fraudulent use.

  • Make sure the site loads and functions correctly.

  • Remember basic preferences and improve your experience.

  • Record your cookie choices where a consent banner is shown.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to sell your data.

3. Types of Cookies

Cookies generally fall into the following categories:

  • Essential cookies — necessary for the website to function and to keep it secure. These are always active because the site cannot work properly without them, and under data protection law they do not require consent.

  • Functional cookies — remember choices you make (such as language) to improve your experience.

  • Analytics cookies — help understand how visitors use the site so it can be improved.

The website currently relies mainly on Wix's essential cookies. Where any non-essential (functional or analytics) cookies are used, your consent is requested first through the cookie banner.

4. Cookies We Use

The table below lists the main cookies Wix places on the site. These are set and maintained by Wix, and the exact cookies, names, and durations may change as the platform is updated. For the definitive, up-to-date list, please refer to Wix's own documentation (linked in Section 6) or run a cookie scan from the site dashboard.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

On our website Where a cookie banner is shown, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies and change your choice at any time. Essential cookies cannot be switched off, as the site cannot function properly without them.

In your browser You can also control cookies through your browser settings — including blocking or deleting cookies already stored. The "Help" section of your browser, or the guidance at https://www.aboutcookies.org, explains how. Please note that disabling cookies may mean parts of this website no longer work as intended.
