Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026
This policy explains how Cosmic Monday (Stephanie Knowles, trading as Cosmic Monday) uses cookies and similar technologies on cosmicmonday.co, and how you can control them.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices, and show me how the site is being used. Similar technologies (such as local storage or tracking pixels) work in much the same way, and this policy covers them too.
2. The cookies this site uses
This website is built on Squarespace, which sets the cookies below. I don't use advertising or social media tracking cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are needed for the website to work properly and securely - for example, protecting forms from spam and remembering your cookie choices. They can't be switched off, and the law doesn't require consent for them.
Analytics cookies
These help me understand, in aggregate, how people find and use the site — which pages are popular and where visitors come from — so I can improve it. They're set by Squarespace's built-in analytics. They only run if you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time.
| Cookie | Set by | Type | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| crumb | Squarespace | Strictly necessary | Prevents cross-site request forgery (a security protection) | Session |
| ss_cookieAllowed | Squarespace | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choice | Up to 1 year |
| ss_cvr | Squarespace | Analytics | Recognises returning visitors | Up to 2 years |
Embedded content
Some pages may include content from other sites, such as Instagram posts or videos. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with that content. I don't control those cookies, so please check those providers' own cookie policies.
3. Managing your choices
When you first visit the site, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. To change your choice later, use the cookie settings link in the website footer, or clear your cookies and revisit the site.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site (such as forms) from working properly.
