Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 20th January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on www.embodiedinsights.co (“we”, “us”, “our”), how they work, and your choices regarding them. This policy is part of our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it.

What is a cookie?

A "cookie" is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive if you agree to this and which records how you move your way around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for advertising and marketing purposes. 

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system.

We are required to obtain your consent for all non-essential cookies used on our website. You can block cookies (including essential cookies) at any time by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block essential cookies you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

 

How do we use cookies? 

We use cookies to track your use of our website and to:

  • Enable basic website functionality (essential cookies)

  • Remember your cookie consent choices

  • Support payment and booking tools (e.g., Stripe, Cal.com)

  • Improve site experience

This enables us to understand how you use the site and track patterns in how you are using our website. This helps us to develop and improve our website as well as products and / or services in response to what you might need or want.

Cookies are either:

  • Session cookies: these are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser – they usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page but they do not collect any personal data from your computer; or

  • Persistent cookies: a persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and it remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again.  

Cookies can also be categorised as follows:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to use the website effectively, such as when buying a product and / or service. Without these cookies, the services available to you on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.

  • Performance cookies: These cookies enable us to monitor and improve the performance of our website. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources and see which parts of the site are most popular.

  • Functionality cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. For instance, we may be able to provide you with news or updates relevant to the services you use. They may also be used to provide services you have requested such as viewing a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised. 

  • Targeting cookies: These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.

  • First and third party cookies: First party cookies are cookies set by our website. Third party cookies are cookies on our website that are set by a website other than our website, for example by clicking on scheduling widgets or payment links. Those providers may set cookies. These are only set once you accept non-essential cookies. 

Examples of the types of cookies used on this site include:

Cookie Name: ssid, session

Purpose: website functionality

and

Cookie Name: banner consent cookie (e.g., ss_marketingcookiesAllowed)

Purpose: remember cookie choices

You may see cookies that remember preferences or support embedded services if you choose to accept them:

  • These are only placed after you accept them via your cookie banner. 

  • They may support features such as embedded booking widgets (Cal.com) or enhanced site features

  • Squarespace may also use cookies that help with performance and site security.

Your choices and controlling cookies

When you first visit, you’ll see our cookie banner that lets you:

  • Accept all

  • Decline all

  • Manage preferences

You are free to change your mind and update your choices at any time by using the cookie settings link in the site footer or by clearing your cookies in your browser. Please refresh your page to ensure that the new settings have taken effect.

Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies entirely via browser settings — but this may break some parts of the site.

We do not currently use Google Analytics or other behavioural tracking tools on this website.

How long cookies last

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies – expire when you close your browser

  • Persistent cookies – remain for a defined period (e.g., 30 days for consent cookies)

Actual expiration periods vary by cookie and provider, and some cookies may remain on your device for up to 2 years depending on the purpose.

 

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the effective date at the top. Please revisit this policy to stay informed about how we use cookies.

 

Embedded content and third-party cookies

Our site may include links to or embedded content from third parties (e.g., payment, booking tools). Those providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their features. We do not control these cookies, and they are subject to the third party’s own cookie and privacy policies.
