About the cookies — the digital kind.
Yes, this site uses cookies. No, it's not a wall of legal text. Here's what's set, why, and how to change it — with the actual biscuits reserved for class days.
What even is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. It lets the site remember things — like whether you've already agreed to cookies, or which page you came from. They're not harmful, they can't access other files on your device, and they can't run programs. Think of them as the digital equivalent of Amanda jotting down "this person prefers teal mugs" on a Post-it.
Some cookies are set by the website you're visiting ("first-party cookies"). Others are set by tools the site uses, like booking software or analytics services ("third-party cookies").
Cookies on this site
This is a small, static website. We've kept cookies to a minimum. Here's the full breakdown:
These cookies are essential for the site to work and for your privacy preferences to be remembered. They can't be switched off — without them, we can't honour your cookie choices.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
CookieConsent | Cookiebot | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask every time you visit. | 12 months |
Analytics cookies help us understand how people use the site — things like which pages are visited and how long people spend. All data is anonymised; no cookie can identify you personally.
No analytics service is currently active on this site. If we add one, this section will be updated and your consent will be sought before any analytical cookies are set.
On the Pottery Classes page, we embed a booking widget provided by Square. When the widget loads, Square may set cookies in the following categories (per Square's cookie policy):
- Strictly necessary — session management and login state within the widget.
- Functionality — remembering your preferences and reducing load times (including A/B testing by Optimizely).
- Analytics — measuring how the booking experience is used (Google Analytics, Sentry).
- Advertising — measuring marketing campaign performance (various partners listed in Square's policy).
Square is an independent data controller. Manage Square's cookie preferences via squareup.com/gb/en/legal/general/cookie.
