Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 May 2025
This page explains what cookies are, which ones our website uses, and how you can manage them. We keep cookie use minimal — this is a small atelier, not a large commercial platform.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit. They help the site remember certain information — such as whether you have accepted the cookie notice — so it does not ask you again on every visit.
Cookies themselves do not contain personal information, though they can be used alongside other data for analytics purposes.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, described below.
Essential Cookies
These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not collect personal data for marketing or analytics.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference so you are not shown the notice on every visit | 1 year |
| session | Maintains your browsing session while you navigate the site | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it. They are only placed with your consent. The data collected is anonymised and aggregated — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.

|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users; used to calculate visit and session data | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Stores and counts page views for this property | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation enabled. We do not share analytics data with third parties for advertising purposes.
Marketing Cookies (Optional)
We use a small number of marketing pixels to understand whether visitors found us through paid channels. These are only placed with your consent.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Identifies browsers for advertising measurement | 3 months |
| _uetsid | Microsoft Bing | Session identifier for advertising measurement | Session |
3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a notice will appear asking for your consent to optional cookies. You can accept all, or decline optional cookies while keeping essential ones.
You can also manage cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Be notified when a cookie is about to be placed
Blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions. Blocking optional cookies will not affect your ability to browse or contact us.
Browser-specific guidance:
4. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics and advertising pixel cookies are set by third parties. We do not control how those providers use data collected by their own cookies — please refer to their privacy policies for details:
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy if we add or change the cookies we use. Changes will be noted with a revised date at the top of this page.
