Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites operate properly, remember preferences, measure performance and understand how visitors use different parts of the site.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage or other tools that store or access information on a device.

2. How This Website Uses Cookies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to run the site, protect it, remember visitor choices, support shop features, measure traffic and improve the visitor experience.

The website is built on Squarespace, which may place necessary cookies to serve the site securely and allow core features to work.

3. Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are required for the website to function. These may support security, page loading, navigation, checkout, shopping basket features, form protection and other core site functions.

Necessary cookies cannot usually be switched off through this website because the site may not work properly without them.

4. Analytics And Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies may help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, what devices are used and whether pages are working properly.

This information helps improve the website, author pages, book pages, signed edition pages and reader experience.

Depending on the website settings and your consent choices, analytics cookies may be restricted until you accept them.

5. Marketing And Third Party Cookies

If this website uses embedded media, social media links, advertising pixels, retailer links, mailing list forms or third party tools, those services may place their own cookies or similar technologies.

These third party cookies may be used for analytics, embedded content, advertising measurement, social sharing, newsletter sign-ups or shop functions.

Third party providers are responsible for their own cookie and privacy practices.

6. Embedded Content

Pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, audio samples, social media posts, shop features, newsletter forms or external media.

Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that external website directly. Those services may collect data, use cookies and track interaction with their content.

7. Shop And Checkout Cookies

If you use signed edition pages, shop pages, checkout pages or payment services, cookies may be used to support basket functions, checkout, payment security, order processing and fraud prevention.

Payment providers, fulfilment services or shop platforms may also use cookies under their own policies.

8. Cookie Consent

Where required, this website may show a cookie banner or cookie preference options. These allow visitors to accept, reject or manage certain non-essential cookies.

Non-essential cookies should not be used unless permitted by your cookie choice or by applicable law.

If you previously accepted cookies, you may be able to change your preferences by using the cookie banner, cookie settings link, browser controls or by clearing cookies from your device.

9. Managing Cookies In Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block or restrict cookies. You can usually find these controls in your browser privacy or security settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect how this website works, especially pages involving forms, shop features, checkout or embedded content.

10. Cookies Used By Squarespace

Because this website is hosted on Squarespace, Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies to provide, protect, customise, evaluate and improve its services.

Squarespace may use necessary cookies and, depending on site settings and consent options, non-essential analytics or performance cookies.

Visitors can review Squarespace’s own cookie information through Squarespace’s published policies and support materials.
