Yes, Bow Tie Talks uses cookies. Sadly, not the chocolate-chip variety.
This policy explains what cookies are, why this website may use them and the choices you have about them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They can help websites work properly, remember choices you’ve made and, in some cases, provide information about how a website is being used. ICO
The rules can also apply to similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device. ICO
How Bow Tie Talks uses cookies
The cookies used by this website may fall into the following categories.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to function properly or provide a service you’ve requested. They can include cookies used for security, basic website functionality or remembering your privacy choices.
Because these cookies are necessary for the site to work, they don’t generally require your consent. ICO
Analytics cookies
Where analytics are enabled, these cookies or similar technologies can help me understand how people use Bow Tie Talks — for example, which pages are visited and how visitors find the site.
Where consent is legally required, these technologies won’t be used until you’ve chosen to allow them.
Functional and third-party cookies
Some features of Bow Tie Talks may rely on services provided by other organisations — for example, embedded media, podcast or social-media features.
Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies. Where those technologies aren’t strictly necessary, they will only be enabled where the required consent has been obtained.
Following a link from Bow Tie Talks to another website may also result in that website setting its own cookies. Their own cookie and privacy policies will apply.
Which cookies does Bow Tie Talks use?
[THIS SECTION SHOULD CONTAIN YOUR COOKIE SCAN/TABLE]
For each cookie, ideally list:
Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration
This list should be kept up to date as the website changes.
Managing your cookie choices
When you first visit Bow Tie Talks, you may be given choices about the use of non-essential cookies.
You can change or withdraw those choices through [COOKIE SETTINGS LINK/BUTTON].
You can also manage cookies through your browser, including deleting existing cookies or blocking certain cookies altogether. Bear in mind that blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work. ICO
Consent
Where consent is required, Bow Tie Talks won’t deliberately set non-essential cookies before you have made a choice.
Consent must involve a clear positive action; simply continuing to browse a website isn’t sufficient consent for non-essential cookies. Visitors should also have a way to enable or disable them. ICO
Changes to this policy
The cookies and services used by Bow Tie Talks may change as the site develops — particularly as new features, podcast integrations or analytics tools are introduced.
I’ll update this policy when necessary and change the date at the top of the page accordingly.
