Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 August 2026
About this policy
This policy explains how the website operated by DOS Consulting Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies, including pixels and local storage, can perform related functions. They may help the website operate, remember your choices, understand how the site is used and measure the effectiveness of marketing.
This policy should be read alongside the Privacy Notice.
Your cookie choices
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because they are required for the website, security, forms, shopping cart, checkout or cookie-preference controls to function.
Analytics, performance and marketing cookies are optional. They will only be used after you have given permission through the cookie banner.
The banner allows you to:
• Accept all cookies.
• Decline non-essential cookies.
• Choose which categories you wish to allow.
You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Preferences control at the bottom of the website.
Declining optional cookies will not prevent you from browsing the main website. Some embedded content, videos, subscription features or payment functions may work differently.
Strictly necessary cookies
Squarespace and connected services use necessary cookies and local storage to operate and protect the website. The particular cookies used depend on which features you access.
Examples may include:
• Crumb, which helps prevent fraudulent cross-site requests and lasts for the browser session.
• CART and hasCart, which allow the shopping cart to function and normally last for two weeks.
• Checkout and security cookies used when completing a transaction.
• squarespace-popup-overlay, which remembers when a promotional pop-up has been dismissed.
• ss_performancecookiesAllowed and ss_marketingcookiesAllowed, which record your cookie choices for 30 days.
Necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the website’s cookie controls, although they can be removed using your browser settings. Removing them may affect functions such as checkout, forms or saved preferences.
Analytics and performance cookies
With your permission, analytics cookies help me understand how people find and use the website. This includes information such as pages visited, general location, device type, traffic source and how visitors move between pages.
Squarespace Analytics may use:
• ss_cid, ss_cpvisit and ss_cvr, which identify visitors and sessions and normally last for two years.
• ss_cvisit and ss_cvt, which help identify browsing sessions and normally last for 30 minutes.
Google Analytics may use:
• _ga, which distinguishes visitors and normally lasts for two years.
• _ga followed by a measurement identifier, which maintains session information and normally lasts for two years.
The information is used to understand website performance and improve its content and structure. It is not used to make decisions about your health, eligibility for services or personal circumstances.
Marketing cookies and Meta Pixel
With your permission, the website uses Meta Pixel to understand whether advertising on Facebook or Instagram leads people to the website and to measure the performance of campaigns.
Meta may use cookies including:
• _fbp and _fbc, which identify browsers for advertising measurement and site analytics and normally last for 90 days.
Meta may combine information from this website with information it already holds about Facebook or Instagram users. Meta processes that information according to its own privacy and cookie policies.
Embedded content
Some pages contain content supplied by other platforms. These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Vimeo
The website contains an embedded Vimeo video player. Vimeo may use:
• vuid for video analytics, normally lasting for two years.
• player to remember video-player preferences, normally lasting for one year.
• Security and bot-prevention cookies, which may last from the browser session to one year.
Substack
The newsletter subscription form is provided by Substack. Substack may use necessary, performance and functionality cookies to operate the form, prevent fraud, understand use and remember visitor preferences.
Relevant Substack cookies may last from the browser session to two years. Certain preference cookies may be retained for longer. If you enter your email address into the Substack form, Substack will also process that information under its own privacy notice.
Payments, bookings and external services
Squarespace Commerce, Stripe, Klarna and scheduling services may use necessary security, fraud-prevention, payment or booking cookies when you use those features.
If you follow a link to an external website, including a retailer, booking provider or social-media platform, that service will apply its own cookie and privacy policies.
Managing cookies through your browser
Most browsers allow you to review, delete or block cookies through their settings. Blocking every cookie may affect website functions such as forms, checkout, embedded video and saved preferences.
The controls are usually found in your browser’s privacy or security settings. Instructions are available through the support pages for Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and other browsers.
Changes to this policy
The cookies and services used by the website may change as the site develops or providers update their technology. This policy will be reviewed when material changes are made. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
