  1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a site, and display content provided by external services.

Similar technologies, including local storage, tags, pixels, and scripts, may perform related functions. In this policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies.”

  1. How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Necessary cookies

Analytics cookies

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 through Google Site Kit to understand how visitors find and use the Site. This may include information about pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, referral source, and interactions with Site features.

We use this information to evaluate website performance and improve our books, poetry prints, workshop information, navigation, and visitor experience. Google Consent Mode adjusts Analytics behaviour according to your cookie preferences.

External-media cookies

Some pages may contain content or services provided by third parties, including Vimeo, Spotify, Facebook, and Instagram. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is displayed or used.
