3. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Gabriella King) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., like analytics, and marketing communications).

4. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for analytics, marketing, and other purposes.

5. Types of Cookies We Use

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies:

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to enable you to use some of its features. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions. Our Website is built on WordPress, which may use cookies to manage user sessions and core site functions.

b) Performance and Analytics Cookies:

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. This helps us to improve our Website and your experience.

  • Google Analytics, Search Console & Tag Manager: We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g., your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

c) Marketing Cookies:

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. If you choose to opt-in to our marketing communications, a cookie may be used to remember your choice.

  • Email Marketing System: When you subscribe to our newsletter, our third-party email provider, Mailchimp, may use cookies to track the effectiveness of email campaigns. We do not sell your information to any third parties.

6. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

  • Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser’s help menu for more information.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
