Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 October 2026
This policy explains how I use cookies and similar tools on https://www.thatsamanthajones.co.uk.
Please read it alongside my Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files. A website saves them on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit.
Other similar tools can also save or read information on your device. In this policy, I call all of these "cookies".
Cookies help a website:
- work properly
- remember your choices
- run smoothly
- show how people use the site
- support marketing, in some cases
2. How I use cookies
I may use cookies to:
- make my website work
- keep my website safe
- remember your settings
- see how visitors use my website
- improve my pages and content
- support sign-up forms, such as my free template pack
- support checkout or booking tools
- support my marketing, where this applies
3. The types of cookies I may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies keep the website working and safe. Without them, some parts of the site may not work.
Functional cookies
These cookies remember your choices, such as your settings. They help make your visit easier.
Analytics cookies
These cookies show me how people use the site. For example, which pages are most popular and how people move around.
Marketing cookies
These cookies may follow your visits across different websites. They help show adverts that suit you and tell me how well my adverts work.
4. Your consent
UK law says some low-risk cookies can be used without asking you first. For example, cookies that keep the site working or safe.
The law now allows a few more low-risk uses without consent, such as some basic analytics. Where I rely on this, I will tell you clearly and give you an easy way to say no.
For all other cookies, such as marketing cookies, I will ask for your consent first. You can change your mind at any time.

[cookie name] | Analytics | Shows how people use the site | [time] | [Yes or No]

A "session" cookie is deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies stay for a set time, unless you delete them.
6. Cookies from other companies
Some other companies I work with may place cookies on your device. These may include tools for:
- website analytics
- taking payments
- email sign-up forms
- videos and other media on my pages
- social media posts shown on my site
- booking or scheduling
These companies have their own privacy and cookie policies. I suggest you read them.
7. How to manage your cookies
You can control cookies by:
- using my cookie banner or cookie settings, where available
- changing the settings in your browser
- deleting cookies saved on your device
If you turn off some cookies, parts of the website may not work as well.

I may update this policy from time to time. This could be because of changes to the law, new guidance, or new tools I use on my website.
I will always show the date of the latest update at the top of this page.
