This Cookie Policy explains how grzlyjourney.co.uk (the “Website”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the Website.

The Website is operated by Matteo Amodio, trading as grzlyjourney, based in London, United Kingdom.

For questions about this Cookie Policy, you can contact:

Email: contact@grzlyjourney.co.uk

This Cookie Policy should be read alongside the Website's Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how personal information is collected, used and protected.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files or pieces of text that are stored on your computer, smartphone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can perform different functions. Some are necessary for a website to operate securely and correctly, while others can be used to remember preferences, understand how visitors interact with a website or measure website performance.

Some cookies remain on your device only for the duration of your browsing session, while others may remain for a longer period.

2. How this Website uses cookies

This Website is built and hosted using Squarespace.

Squarespace may place cookies on your device when you visit this Website. These generally fall into two categories:

Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies are required for the secure and proper operation of the Website and its underlying features.

These cookies may be used for purposes such as:

• securely providing Website pages and content;

• maintaining Website functionality;

• protecting the Website from fraudulent or malicious activity;

• remembering certain Website or cookie preferences; and

• enabling functionality provided by Squarespace.

Because these cookies are necessary for the Website to operate, they do not generally require your consent.

The legal basis for processing information through strictly necessary cookies is my legitimate interest in securely operating and providing the Website and, where applicable, providing functionality that you have requested.

Analytics and performance cookies

The Website may use Squarespace analytics and performance cookies to help me understand how visitors interact with the Website.

These cookies may be used to measure information such as:

• unique visitors;

• visits and browsing sessions;

• pages viewed;

• traffic sources;

• interactions with Website content; and

• Website performance.

Where consent is required, analytics and performance cookies are not placed until you have provided your consent through the Website's cookie banner.

The legal basis for using these non-essential cookies is your consent.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time as described below.

3. Squarespace analytics cookies

Depending on the configuration of the Website and the choices you make through the cookie banner, Squarespace may use the following analytics and performance cookies:

CookiePurposeDurationss_cidIdentifies unique visitors and tracks a visitor's sessions on the Website2 yearsss_cpvisitIdentifies unique visitors and tracks a visitor's sessions on the Website2 yearsss_cvisitIdentifies unique visitors and tracks a visitor's sessions on the Website30 minutesss_cvrIdentifies unique visitors and tracks a visitor's sessions on the Website2 yearsss_cvtIdentifies unique visitors and tracks a visitor's sessions on the Website30 minutes

Squarespace may update the cookies it uses as its services and technology change.

The precise necessary cookies used may also vary depending on the Squarespace features enabled on the Website.

4. Third-party services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social media platforms such as Instagram.

Simply following a link away from this Website may allow the third-party website to use its own cookies or similar technologies once you visit that service.

Those cookies are controlled by the relevant third party rather than grzlyjourney. Their use is subject to the third party's own privacy and cookie policies.

If third-party content or services are embedded directly into this Website in the future, such as videos, maps or other interactive content, those providers may also place cookies or use similar technologies.

Where required, non-essential third-party technologies will be subject to appropriate consent controls.

5. Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit the Website, you may be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to make choices about non-essential cookies.

Depending on the options available, you can:

• accept non-essential cookies;

• decline non-essential cookies; or

• manage individual categories of cookies.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Website's cookie preferences control, where available.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Necessary cookies cannot generally be disabled through the Website's consent controls because they are required for the Website to function.

6. Managing cookies through your browser

Most web browsers also allow you to view, delete or block cookies through their settings.

You can usually configure your browser to:

• delete existing cookies;

• block all cookies;

• block cookies from particular websites;

• block third-party cookies; or

• notify you when a website attempts to store a cookie.

Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this Website and other websites you visit.

Browser controls are separate from the consent choices provided through this Website.

7. International data transfers

Squarespace and other service providers used by this Website may process or store information in countries outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required by applicable data protection law.

These may include transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection or the use of approved contractual safeguards.

For more information about how personal information is handled and transferred, please see the Website's Privacy Policy.

8. Your data protection rights

Where cookies or similar technologies involve the processing of your personal information, you may have rights under UK data protection law.

Depending on the circumstances, these can include the right to:

• request access to your personal information;

• request correction of inaccurate information;

• request deletion of your personal information;

• request restriction of processing;

• object to certain processing;

• request portability of certain information; and

• withdraw your consent where processing relies on consent.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions.

To exercise your rights, contact contact@grzlyjourney.co.uk.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you have concerns about how your personal information is handled.

9. Changes to this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes to the Website, the cookies or technologies it uses, third-party services or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be updated accordingly.
