How We Use Cookies
Like most websites, this site uses cookies and similar technologies to run effectively and securely. Because we do not run active marketing campaigns or tracking advertisements, we only deploy standard Squarespace cookies. These fall into two categories:

We restrict non-essential analytics cookies by default until you give us permission. You can choose to accept or decline these cookies at any time using our website’s cookie consent banner. You can also block or delete cookies entirely through your web browser's built-in settings.
