Last updated: 1 March 2026
This policy explains how Afterglow uses cookies on our website and what choices you have.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and give us a basic understanding of how the site is being used.
How we use cookies
Our website uses cookies in the following ways:
Essential cookies (Squarespace):
Our website is built and hosted on Squarespace, which places cookies necessary for the site to function — for example, to maintain sessions or process form submissions. These cookies cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works.
Analytics cookies (Squarespace):
Squarespace may also collect basic, anonymised analytics data — such as pages visited and approximate location by country — to help us understand how people use our site. This data is not used to personally identify you.
Third-party cookies (Instagram and Facebook):
If our website contains embedded content or links from Instagram or Facebook, those platforms may place their own cookies on your device when you interact with that content. This is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
We do not use cookies to directly identify you, serve targeted advertising, or track you across other websites.
Managing cookies
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies already stored on your device.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit aboutcookies.org or your browser's help documentation.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date of the most recent update shown at the top.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies, please get in touch at rachel@theafterglowspace.com — we are always happy to explain things clearly and kindly.
