Cookie Policy 

Last updated: 23rd September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Eve Elizabeth Simpson, trading as Eve Simpson, uses cookies and similar technologies on evesimpson.co.uk (the “Website”).

This policy should be read alongside my Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how I collect, use and protect personal information.

1. What are cookies?

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

Cookies and similar technologies can be used for different purposes, including helping a website function correctly, remembering preferences, keeping an online shopping basket working, understanding how a website is used, and providing other website functionality.

The rules concerning cookies also apply to certain technologies that are not technically cookies but which store information on, or access information from, your device.

2. How I use cookies

I use cookies and similar technologies to help operate the Website and provide its features.

Depending on the features and services enabled on the Website, cookies may be used for purposes including:

• keeping the Website and online shop functioning;

• maintaining security;

• remembering information during your visit;

• supporting shopping-basket and checkout functionality;

• remembering certain preferences;

• understanding how the Website is used; and

• supporting other Website features and services.

The specific cookies and similar technologies used may change from time to time as I add, remove or change Website features or third-party services.

3. Types of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the Website to function and cannot reasonably be disabled without affecting services you have requested.

These may include cookies used for:

• shopping-basket functionality;

• checkout and purchasing;

• security;

• session management; and

• other essential Website functions.

Where a cookie is strictly necessary to provide an online service you have requested, applicable law may allow it to be used without consent.

I will still provide information about these cookies where appropriate.

Non-essential cookies

Other cookies or similar technologies may be used for purposes such as analytics, preferences or other functionality that is not strictly necessary for the Website to provide a service you have requested.

Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, I will ask for your consent before using them.

You can choose whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies through the cookie-consent controls provided on the Website.

4. Squarespace

The Website and online shop are hosted and operated using Squarespace.

Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies as part of providing its Website and ecommerce services.

These may include technologies necessary for functions such as security, Website operation, shopping baskets and checkout.

Squarespace may also provide optional functionality that involves cookies or similar technologies depending on the features enabled on the Website.

The cookies used by Squarespace may change as its services and Website technology develop.

5. Third-party services

I may use third-party services that place or access cookies or similar technologies when you use the Website.

These may include services used for:

• payment processing;

• mailing-list or marketing functionality;

• online forms;

• Website functionality;

• analytics;

• security;

• embedded content; or

• other services connected with my business.

Third-party services currently used by my business include Squarespace, Squarespace Payments, Mailchimp and Google Forms.

Not every service necessarily places cookies on your device, and the use of cookies or similar technologies may depend on how a particular service is configured.

If I introduce additional third-party services that use cookies or similar technologies, I will review this Cookie Policy and my consent arrangements where appropriate.

6. Cookies and online shopping

When you use the Website to purchase products, certain cookies or similar technologies may be necessary to allow the online shop and checkout to function.

For example, technologies may be used to:

• remember products you have added to your basket;

• maintain your shopping session;

• support checkout;

• process your order; and

• maintain security during the purchasing process.

These technologies may be essential to providing the online shopping service you have requested.

7. Cookies and payment processing

Payments are processed through Squarespace Payments and the payment services available at checkout.

Payment-related technologies may be used to facilitate secure payment processing, prevent fraud or support the operation of the checkout.

I do not normally have access to your full payment card details.

The payment services involved may use their own cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own policies and technical requirements.

8. Cookie consent

Where consent is required for a cookie or similar technology, I will ask for your consent before using it.

Consent should involve a clear affirmative action. Simply continuing to browse the Website does not, by itself, constitute consent to non-essential cookies.

You can choose whether to accept or decline non-essential cookies using the cookie controls provided on the Website.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the operation or functionality of parts of the Website, particularly shopping and checkout functions.

9. Changing your cookie preferences

Where the Website provides a cookie-preference tool, you can use it to change your choices about non-essential cookies.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Different browsers provide different controls. Your browser may allow you to:

• delete existing cookies;

• block cookies;

• allow cookies;

• block third-party cookies; or

• delete cookies automatically when you close your browser.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Website from working correctly.

10. How long cookies remain on your device

Some cookies are session cookies, which are normally deleted when you close your browser.

Other cookies are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the service that provides them.

Where appropriate, information about specific cookies, their purposes and their durations will be provided through the Website's cookie-consent or cookie-management tool.

11. Changes to the cookies used on the Website

The cookies and similar technologies used on the Website may change from time to time.

This may happen if:

• Squarespace changes its Website technology;

• I enable or disable a Website feature;

• I introduce a new third-party service;

• I change how the online shop operates; or

• legal or regulatory requirements change.

I will review this Cookie Policy and my cookie-consent arrangements when material changes are made.

12. Your privacy

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve information that constitutes personal data under UK data protection law.

Where this happens, the processing of that information is also subject to my Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains:

• what personal information I collect;

• why I use it;

• my lawful bases for processing;

• who I share it with;

• how long I keep it; and

• your data protection rights.
