Cookie Policy
New Beginnings Studio uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. Some are necessary for the website to work properly, while others may be used, where permitted, to help us understand how the website is being used.
This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, why they may be used on our website and the choices available to you.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small files that are placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They can help a website work correctly, remember certain choices and provide information about how the website is used.
Similar technologies can include pixels, local storage and other methods of storing or accessing information on your device.
How we use cookies and similar technologies
New Beginnings Studio’s website is hosted on WordPress.com and uses services provided by Automattic and Jetpack. Depending on the feature being used, these services may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the website, protect forms from spam and provide website statistics.
Essential website functions
Some technologies are necessary for the website to function correctly, maintain security, remember certain choices or record cookie preferences. These may be used without consent where UK law permits.
Contact forms and spam protection
Our website uses Jetpack Forms and uses Akismet Anti-spam. When a contact form is submitted, information such as an IP address, browser or device information, email address and the contents of the message may be processed to help detect spam and abuse.
Website statistics and analytics
We use Jetpack Stats to help us understand how our website is being used. Jetpack Stats may process information such as page and post views, outbound link clicks, referring websites or search terms, approximate location and browser or device information. New Beginnings Studio receives aggregated statistics and does not receive information identifying individual visitors through the Stats dashboard.
Where UK law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will ask for that consent before using them.
Third-party services
Our website uses services provided by third parties, including WordPress.com and Automattic, Jetpack and Akismet. These services may use cookies or similar technologies when their features are used on our website.
These providers may process information for purposes such as hosting and operating the website, maintaining security, preventing spam and abuse, and producing website statistics.
Where third-party technologies require consent under UK law, they will only be used where the appropriate consent or other lawful exception applies.
Third-party providers may also have their own privacy and cookie information explaining how they handle information through their services.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, technology or legal requirements.
The latest version will always be made available through the New Beginnings Studio website.
