WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website.

They help websites function correctly, remember choices and, where permitted, provide information about how visitors use the website. Similar technologies may include local storage, tracking pixels and scripts.

COOKIES WE MAY USE

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate securely and provide functions requested by visitors. They may support:

- Website security and fraud prevention

- Page navigation and technical operation

- Remembering cookie preferences

- Contact and updates forms

- Shopping baskets, checkout and payment functions

- Delivery of digital products or services

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be switched off through our cookie controls because the website may not function properly without them.

Analytics and performance cookies

Where enabled, these cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may collect information such as:

- Which pages are visited

- How visitors arrive at the website

- Approximate location

- Device and browser type

- How long visitors remain on a page

- Whether technical errors occur

We use this information to understand website performance and improve our content, resources and services.

Analytics or performance cookies that require consent will not be activated unless you choose to accept them.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices or provide enhanced website features. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will ask for consent before using them.

MARKETING AND ADVERTISING COOKIES

We do not currently use cookies to provide personalised advertising on this website.

If this changes, we will update this policy and obtain appropriate consent before setting marketing or advertising cookies.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Our website is built and hosted using Hostinger. Hostinger may use essential technologies to provide hosting, security, forms, website functions and visitor preferences.

Additional providers may be used for:

- Website analytics

- Email updates

- Contact or booking forms

- Payment processing

- Online shopping and checkout

- Digital-product or book delivery

- Embedded content

Third-party services may place their own cookies when their features are used. Optional third-party cookies will be subject to the choices offered through our cookie controls where required.

Our website also contains links to external websites and services. When you follow an external link, the other organisation may use cookies under its own policy. Generations by Design does not control cookies placed directly by other websites.

YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

When you first visit the website, you may be shown cookie controls that allow you to accept, reject or customise optional cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent. Other cookies will only be used where permitted by law and according to the choices you make.

You can change or withdraw your consent through the website’s cookie settings where available. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how the website functions.

HOW LONG COOKIES LAST

Some cookies are session cookies and are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

Retention periods depend on the cookie’s purpose and the settings used by the relevant service provider. We review our use of cookies and aim to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy if our website, services, providers or legal responsibilities change.

The current version and its latest revision date will be displayed on this page.
