Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on janinesaul.uk.
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember certain preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and, where applicable, provide additional functionality.
This policy should be read alongside my Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Service.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, phone or other device.
Some cookies are essential because the website cannot function properly without them. Others are optional and may be used to understand how visitors interact with the website or to remember preferences.
Cookies may be:
First-party cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting; or
Third-party cookies, which are set by another service used by the website.
This policy covers cookies and similar technologies used on janinesaul.uk.
How I use cookies
I use cookies in the following categories:
Necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly and securely.
They may support functions such as:
Website navigation
Security
Shopping cart and checkout functionality
Remembering essential website settings
Processing transactions
Maintaining website functionality
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide services you have requested, they do not require consent under the applicable cookie rules.
Analytics and performance cookies
I use Squarespace analytics to understand how visitors interact with my website.
This may include information such as:
Browser and device information
Network information
IP address
Pages visited
Pages visited before arriving at my website
Links clicked
Internal links followed
Scrolling activity
Searches
Timestamps
Other interactions with the website
Analytics and performance cookies are not strictly necessary for you to use the website. They are therefore only activated after you have provided the relevant consent through the website's cookie banner.
UK guidance requires consent for non-essential analytics cookies before they are placed on a visitor's device.
Marketing cookies
I do not currently use advertising or marketing cookies on this website.
If this changes, this Cookie Policy will be updated and appropriate consent will be obtained before any non-essential marketing cookies are placed on your device.
How I obtain consent
When you first visit the website, the cookie banner allows you to make a choice about non-essential cookies.
Necessary cookies will remain active because they are required for the website to function.
Analytics and performance cookies will only be activated after you have given the appropriate consent.
Simply continuing to browse the website does not constitute consent to non-essential cookies.
Consent must be given through a clear positive action. This reflects current UK guidance on cookies and similar technologies.
How to change or withdraw your cookie consent
You can change or withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time by using the cookie settings / cookie preferences option available on the website.
If the cookie settings link is not immediately visible, you can also manage or delete cookies through your web browser.
Please note that blocking or deleting necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website, including shopping cart and checkout functions.
Browser controls can generally be used to delete, block or restrict cookies.
Third-party services
The website is hosted and operated using Squarespace.
Squarespace provides website hosting, commerce functionality and analytics services and may place cookies on visitors' devices as part of these services.
You can read more about Squarespace's use of cookies and similar technologies in its Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
I do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or other third-party advertising cookies on this website unless specifically stated in this policy.
Other third-party services may be used to process payments or fulfil orders. These services may process personal information as described in my Privacy Policy, but they are not necessarily responsible for cookies placed through this website.
Cross-border data transfers
Squarespace and other service providers used in connection with this website may process or store information outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area.
Where personal information collected through cookies or similar technologies is transferred internationally, the relevant service provider is responsible for applying appropriate safeguards as required by applicable data protection law.
Further information about international transfers can be found in my Privacy Policy.
Personal information collected through cookies
Some cookies or similar technologies may collect information that can constitute personal data, such as an IP address or information associated with a device or browsing activity.
Where this occurs, the information is handled in accordance with my Privacy Policy.
