Cookie Policy

Last updated: 04/10/2026

This Cookie Policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device that help websites function and improve your browsing experience .

1. What Cookies We Use

Because this website is a standard artist site with no shop, no scheduling system, and no customer accounts, only Squarespace’s built‑in necessary cookies and optional analytics cookies are used.

A. Necessary Cookies (Essential)

These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly and cannot be disabled. They support basic site functions such as security, navigation, and remembering certain visitor actions.

Squarespace states that necessary cookies vary depending on site features . On a simple artist site, these typically include:

  • Crumb / siteUserCrumb – Prevent cross‑site request forgery (CSRF) attacks .

  • RecentRedirect – Prevents redirect loops, which can harm SEO .

  • squarespace‑announcement‑bar – Remembers if a visitor dismissed the announcement bar (localStorage) .

  • squarespace‑popup‑overlay – Remembers if a visitor dismissed a pop‑up (localStorage) .

  • squarespace‑video‑player‑options – Stores video player preferences (volume, speed, quality) for videos uploaded directly to Squarespace (localStorage) .

  • Test / ddcookie_test / ddsite_test – Checks whether the browser supports cookies to prevent errors .

These cookies do not collect personal data beyond what is necessary for the site to function.

B. Analytics & Performance Cookies (Optional)

If enabled, Squarespace uses analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the site, such as page views, traffic sources, and session behaviour. These cookies populate Squarespace’s analytics dashboard .

Examples include:

  • ss_cid – Identifies unique visitors (2 years)

  • ss_cvisit – Tracks a visitor’s session (30 minutes)

  • ss_cvr – Tracks sessions over time (2 years)

  • ss_cvt – Tracks session events (30 minutes)

Visitors can decline these cookies via the cookie banner if you enable one. Squarespace notes that some regions require consent before placing non‑essential cookies .

C. Third‑Party Cookies

This website may include embedded content such as YouTube videos. Some providers place their own cookies when content is loaded.

Squarespace explains that:

  • Some providers use Consent Mode (e.g., YouTube, Google) and respect the cookie banner settings .

  • Some embedded content cannot be blocked by Squarespace’s banner and may place cookies automatically (e.g., certain audio/video embeds) .

This site does not use third‑party booking tools, commerce integrations, or translation tools, so cookies from Acuity, Weglot, OpenTable, or Tock do not apply.

2. How You Can Manage Cookies

Visitors can manage cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie Banner: If enabled, visitors can accept or decline analytics and marketing cookies. Squarespace stores these choices in cookies such as ss_performancecookiesAllowed and ss_marketingcookiesAllowed (30 days) .

  • Browser Settings: Visitors can block or delete cookies directly in their browser. Squarespace notes that all major browsers allow reviewing and clearing cookies .

Necessary cookies cannot be disabled because they are required for the site to function.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Ensure the website operates securely and reliably

  • Remember visitor actions such as dismissed pop‑ups

  • Improve performance and understand how visitors use the site (if analytics are enabled)

  • Support embedded media such as videos

4. Consent Requirements

Some regions require consent before placing non‑essential cookies. Squarespace provides a cookie banner that allows visitors to make a choice before analytics cookies are stored .
