Cookie Policy

Last updated: 28 October 2026

This policy explains how The Cotswolds Art Class uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website work securely, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use its pages.

Some technologies, such as local storage, perform similar functions without using a traditional cookie.

How we use cookies

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. The cookies used depend on the features you use and the choices you make.

Necessary cookies

These support essential website functions, security and the recording of your cookie choices. They do not require your consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the service you request.

Optional analytics cookies

If you accept analytics cookies, Squarespace can use them to help us understand visits, traffic sources and how people move between pages.

We use this information to improve the website. Our chosen approach is to request your permission before placing optional analytics cookies.

You can decline these cookies and still browse the website and make an enquiry.

Squarespace cookies

Depending on your choices and the features in use, Squarespace may place the following cookies:

Cookie, Purpose, Duration

Crumb, Helps protect against fraudulent requests. Session

ss_performancecookiesAllowed, Records your analytics cookie choice. 30 days

ss_marketingcookiesAllowed, Records your marketing cookie choice. 30 days

ss_cid, ss_cpvisit, ss_cvr, Recognise visitors and connect visits for website analytics. Two years

ss_cvisit, ss_cvt, Connect activity within a visit for website analytics. 30 minutes

“Session” means a cookie normally expires when the browser session ends. Cookies may be removed sooner if you clear them in your browser.

Recording a marketing-cookie preference does not itself mean that advertising tracking is in use.

Managing your choices

Use the cookie banner to accept or decline optional cookies, or manage your preferences.

You can revisit your choices through the website’s cookie preferences control. Withdrawing permission stops future use of the relevant optional cookies, subject to the website’s settings. You can also remove previously stored cookies through your browser.

Your browser settings allow you to inspect, block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary cookies may affect some website functions.

External links

Our venue directions and contact links may take you to services such as Google Maps, what3words or WhatsApp.

These services operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. A normal external link does not itself embed the destination service in this website.

Please read our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle personal data and your rights.
