What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others help me understand how the site is used, or allow embedded features - like my booking calendar - to work.

How I use cookies

  • ‍Strictly necessary cookies‍ - These are essential for the site to work properly - for example, security, preventing fraud, and remembering your cookie preferences. The site can't function properly without these, and they don't require your consent.

  • Analytics and performance cookies - These help me understand how visitors use the site - for example, which pages are visited most often and how people move between pages. This information is used in aggregate to help me improve the site. I only set these with your consent.

  • Functionality cookies (embedded booking) - My online booking calendar is provided via an embedded Google Calendar scheduling tool. When you use it to view availability or book a session, Google may set cookies to enable the booking feature to work securely and reliably. These are set directly by Google, not by me, and are necessary to provide the booking service you've actively requested.

My booking calendar and, where used, Google Analytics are provided by Google. These third parties may set their own cookies over which I have no direct control. Please refer to Google's own cookie and privacy policies for further detail.

Managing cookies

When you first visit my site, you'll be shown a cookie banner where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies, and adjust your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the site footer. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies, or the cookies used by my embedded booking calendar, may affect the functionality of the site, including your ability to book a session online.
