Cookie Policy
Hello there!
Thank you for checking out my cookie policy. I am committed to ensure this website and its use of cookies, complies with UK laws on privacy and data protection. This policy sets out the types of cookies we (Susanna and Squarespace) use, the exact cookies used on this website, whether we are using any third-party cookies, how you can control our use of cookies, what their expiry dates are and how you can get in contact with me for more information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files of information, usually containing letters and numbers, that websites store on your browser, or the hard drive of your computer. Some cookies require your consent before they can be stored on your device. Others, such as cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function, may be used without consent. Some cookies are essential for the website to function properly, while others are used for analytics.
Most of the cookies this website uses are necessary to ensure the website functions properly, while others help us understand how visitors use the website and what we can do to improve it. Analytics cookies may, for example, help us understand how many visitors use the website and which pages they visit.
What type of cookies do we use?
We use the following cookie types:
Necessary Cookies – These can also be known as Functionality or Essential Cookies, and they’re very important for us to make sure the website runs as it should. As a result, these cookies are always automatically enabled, to make sure the website works sufficiently. Some examples of uses of essential cookies include the distribution of website traffic across multiple servers – without the website speed being affected, remembering devices for anti-fraud purposes and preventing the announcement bar from displaying if the visitor dismisses it. These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled via the cookie management tool, as the website cannot function properly without them.
Performance and Analytics Cookies –These gather information about how website visitors use a website. These cookies help us to keep count of the number of visitors on the website, and also help us to understand how these visitors use the website. This enables us to understand what works well on the website, and what doesn’t work so well, so we can continuously improve the site for visitors. The analytics cookies used on this website are only set where you have given consent.
Advertising Cookies – These can also be known as Targeting Cookies. Although yogawithsusanna.co.uk does not currently use this type of cookie, Squarespace provides the option to enable or disable marketing cookies as part of its cookie-management settings. I have therefore included them here for your information. These cookies can track your visits to websites, including the pages you visit and links you follow, and may be used to display advertising based on your interests.
