2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly and provide information to the site owners about how users interact with their site.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on this site:

  • 'Essential' or 'Strictly Necessary' Cookies (obligatory) - These cookies are essential for core website functionality (e.g., security, fraud prevention) and enable you to navigate the site and use its features. They cannot be disabled.

- Squarespace (Squarespace Inc.), our website host, classifies certain additional cookies as essential, including:

  • Authentication Cookies - Where applicable, these cookies verify your account and device, determining when you're logged in to provide appropriate experiences and features.

  • Customisation Cookies - Remember choices you've made on a site, such as your language preference.

  • Security Cookies - Help prevent fraudulent use of login credentials.

- While these cookies are deemed essential by Squarespace, other organisations might classify similar cookies as non-essential, especially if they relate to user preferences rather than core functionality.

- Note that while our site does not host user accounts or provide language preferences, Squarespace may still place these cookies by default.

These include:

  • Performance and Analytics Cookies (optional) - These cookies are used to provide information about how users use the website. They provide quantitative measures of website visitors. With the usage of these cookies, we are able to count visits and traffic sources to improve the performance of our site.

  • Information about your browser, network, and device

  • Your IP address for country location details

  • Details about your use of this website, including clicks, internal links, pages visited, scrolling, searches, and timestamps

  • Advertising Cookies (optional) - These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements and track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. They may collect data such as browsing behaviour, interactions with ads, and user preferences. Our website host, Squarespace, may place these cookies to analyse engagement with promotional content.

  • Data collected through these cookies may include information about your:

  • Kit (Kit Inc.) - Stores email preferences and tracks user engagement with emails (e.g., open and click rates).

  • Teachable (Teachable Inc.) - Uses tracking technologies for course purchases and login authentication.

  • Squarespace (Squarespace Inc.) - Provides website analytics, tracking site traffic and user interactions, and may also place advertising cookies as mentioned above.

Clicking on any purchase button for our Course will redirect you to an external secure payment page hosted by Teachable. By following this link, you may be required to accept Teachable’s own Cookie Policy, which is likely to differ from our own.

4. Consent to Use Cookies

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to choose your preferences.

  • By clicking 'Accept', you give permission for all types of cookies to be used.

  • By clicking 'Deny', only cookies deemed essential for site operation by Squarespace will be used.

    - Only these essential cookies will be stored on your device until your consent has been given for all other cookies.

    - Please note that what Squarespace defines as "essential" cookies may differ from what other organisations consider essential. These cookies are pre-selected by Squarespace and cannot be adjusted individually within our site’s settings.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can modify your consent preferences at any time by clicking on the Cookie Icon at the bottom of this page, or by changing your browser settings to decline non-essential cookies. More information about managing cookie consent preferences can be found in Section 5 of this Cookie Policy - entitled 'Managing Cookies'.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

  • Please note, in order to be able to modify these preferences, you must first make an initial selection in the cookie banner that appears upon your first visit to this site. After this initial selection has been made, the cookie banner will disappear for 30 days, or until you manually remove cookies stored in your browser, whichever is sooner.

  • You are still able to modify your selection at any time using the Cookie Icon at the bottom of this page ↓

  • Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can find more information about how to do this by consulting your own browser provider's specific cookie management tools. Common browser providers include Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari), Mozilla (Firefox), Microsoft (Edge) etc. Most browser providers have a section on their website dedicated to these tools.

  • You can also use the Global Privacy Control (GPC) feature, if supported by your browser. GPC is a browser setting that automatically communicates your privacy preferences to websites, allowing you to opt out of tracking where applicable.

  • Please note that some browsers allow users to send 'Do Not Track' (DNT) or similar signals. However, there is no universally accepted industry standard for responding to these requests, and as a result, our website may not always recognise or act on such signals.
