What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites recognise you, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the site.
Do I use cookies?
Yes. My website (www.lainscreative.co.uk) uses cookies to help me understand how visitors use my site and to ensure it functions correctly. Where cookies are not strictly necessary, I will only place them on your device with your consent, which you can give or withdraw via my cookie banner.

What cookies do I use?
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for my website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information. This includes a cookie set by my cookie banner tool to remember your consent preferences, which is stored for 12 months.
Analytical cookies
These cookies help me understand how visitors interact with my site so I can improve it. I use Google Analytics for this purpose and these cookies are only placed with your consent. Google Analytics sets the following cookies: _ga and ga* which distinguish unique users and maintain session information (stored for up to 2 years), _gid which distinguishes users between sessions (stored for 24 hours), and _gat which limits the rate of data requests (stored for 1 minute).
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Third-party cookies
Some pages on my site may include content from third-party services. Where these are present, those third parties may set their own cookies. I do not control these cookies and recommend you review the relevant third-party privacy policies.
How to manage or withdraw your consent
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie banner on my site. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect how my site functions.
