Cookie Policy
Last updated: [November 2025]
This Cookie Policy explains how I use cookies and similar technologies on my website. If you have any questions, you can contact me at david@pupmeister.co.uk.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
Some cookies are essential for the site to work. Others help me understand how people use the site so I can improve it.
Cookies cannot see your files, access your device, or identify you personally.
2. How I use cookies
My website uses cookies for three main reasons:
2.1 Essential cookies (required for the site to function)
These allow basic things to work, such as page navigation, security features, and loading the site properly.
You cannot turn these off.
2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
These help me understand how people use my website — for example, which pages are most popular or how long visitors spend on a page.
Analytics cookies help me improve the site, but they are not essential, so you can choose whether to allow them.
2.3 Functional cookies (optional)
These remember small preferences, such as whether you’ve already accepted the cookie banner.
3. What cookies does my site use?
My website is hosted on Squarespace, which automatically sets some essential, security and analytics cookies. These may include:
Cookies that measure website traffic and usage
Cookies that help the site load faster
Cookies that remember if you’ve seen the cookie banner
Security cookies that protect the site from threats
These cookies do not identify you personally.
If I add optional tools in the future (e.g., booking systems, video embeds, or social media pixels), this list may change. I’ll update this page if that happens.
4. Your choices
When you visit my site, you’ll see a small cookie banner that lets you choose whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
You can also change your cookie settings at any time by:
Adjusting your browser settings
Clearing your cookies
Using private/incognito mode
Every browser handles this differently — here are the main ones:
Chrome: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
Safari: Preferences → Privacy
Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security
Edge: Settings → Cookies & Site Permissions
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may come from third parties — for example, Squarespace’s built-in analytics tools.
These companies cannot identify you personally from the data collected on my site.
I do not use advertising cookies or sell data to anyone.
6. Changes to this policy
I may update this page occasionally, especially if I add new tools or features that use cookies.
If I make significant changes, I’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.
