What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser when you visit a site. They serve a variety of functions, like enabling us to remember certain information you provide to us as you navigate between pages on the Services.

  • Device Identifiers.  https://www.zandarussell.co.uk/ is hosted on Squarespace. Squarespace web and mobile applications use device identifiers to track, analyse and improve the performance of the Services and our ads.

  • Third Party Tags. https://www.zandarussell.co.uk/ is hosted on Squarespace, who use and manage third party tags on the website and associated domains of www.squarespace.com and on Squarespace web and mobile applications. Third party tags may take the form of pixels or tracking snippets. They use pixels to learn how you interact with our site pages and emails, and this information helps them and their ad partners provide you with a more tailored experience. They use tracking snippets to capture data from your browser, make requests to a third party partner or set cookies on your device to store data. For example, if you see a Squarespace ad on a social media platform and choose to use Squarespace, they may use a tag to reduce the number of Squarespace ads you see on that platform. They use Google Tag Manager to manage their third party tag usage. This may cause other tags to be activated which may, for their part, collect data and set cookies under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not store this data.
