How we classify cookies ?

(and MY legal bases)

We group cookies by purpose. Under GDPR/ePrivacy, we rely on legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies and your consent for all others.

A. Strictly Necessary (no consent required)

Enable core functions like page loading, security, session management, cookie-consent logging, and language preference (e.g., Weglot).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests / service provision).
Examples: Squarespace session & security cookies; cookie-consent record; language cookies.

B. Functional (consent)

Remember non-essential preferences and enable optional features (e.g., embedded video players, chat widgets).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

C. Analytics/Performance (consent)

Help me understand visits and improve content (e.g., page views, time on page). I use privacy-respecting settings and, where possible, IP masking/aggregation.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

D. Marketing/Advertising (consent)

Measure campaigns and (if enabled) deliver or limit ads on third-party platforms (e.g., Meta/Google).
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

I do not set non-essential (B–D) cookies unless you opt in via my banner or Cookie Settings.

5) Services & third parties I may use

• Squarespace (hosting/CMS/CDN): essential cookies for security, load balancing, sessions, limited site analytics.

• Weglot / translation: sets a language preference cookie (essential).

• Unsplash images via Squarespace: media delivered from CDNs; typically no additional cookies, but remote hosting may occur.

• Embeds (if you play them): YouTube/Vimeo and similar may set Functional/Analytics cookies; we block these until you consent.

• Analytics (if enabled): Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly tool. GA cookies are Analytics and are loaded only after consent (Consent Mode supported).

• Marketing pixels (if enabled): Google Ads / Meta Pixel (category Marketing) — loaded only after consent.

• Cookie Bot : Cookie Banner, Cookie Management Settings, Cookie Banner Design, everything cookie related. ( https://www.cookiebot.com/ )

Third-party providers process data under their own terms/policies and may transfer data outside the EEA using safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses). See my Privacy Policy for details.

Your choices:

consent, withdraw, settings

• On your first visit, you’ll see a banner to accept, reject non-essential, or customize cookies.

• You can change your mind at any time and modify all settings via Cookie Settings presented in the left corner down of the website with a black icon.

• Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings (may affect functionality).

• I respect recognized opt-out signals where feasible (e.g., Global Privacy Control) by treating them as a rejection of non-essential cookies.

What I log for compliance

I personally log all relevant information needed for contacting you upon making a general consultation appointment directly within Squarespace, Acuity Scheduling & other third party providers that I work with through Squarespace.

If you interact with the banner, my third party provider ( https://www.cookiebot.com/ ) stores a consent record (choices, timestamp, version, region) so I can demonstrate compliance. I typically keep this for 12–24 months.

Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and provider. Essential session cookies usually expire when you close your browser; analytics/marketing cookies may last longer (e.g., 1–24 months). If you use my Cookie Settings, the updated choices apply immediately.

Region notes

• EU/EEA & UK: prior consent is required for non-essential cookies.

• Other regions: i apply the same high standard for consistency.

Changes

I may update this policy to reflect new features, vendors, or legal guidance. The version posted here applies. Material changes will be signposted (e.g., banner notice).
