Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide basic information to website owners about how their site is being used.
This policy explains what cookies this website uses, why, and what choices you have.
This website is operated by Jonathan Griffiths, trading as a sole trader at jonathangriffiths.co.uk. If you have any questions about cookies on this site, please contact hello@jonathangriffiths.co.uk.
This is a lean, personal website. It does not carry advertising, run affiliate programmes, or use third-party marketing cookies. The cookies present on this site fall into two categories.
| Category | Purpose | Can you opt out? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the site to function. Includes session management and security tokens. No personal data is collected or shared. | No — these are essential to the site working correctly. |
| Analytics | Aggregate, anonymised data on which pages are visited and how people move through the site. Used solely to improve content and usability. No personally identifiable information is collected. | Yes — see the section below on managing your preferences. |
This site does not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party cookies that profile you across other websites.
Where analytics tools are used, they are configured to anonymise IP addresses and not collect personally identifiable information. Data is used only in aggregate — to understand, for example, which pages are most visited or how people navigate from one part of the site to another — and is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
If a third-party analytics provider is added in the future, this policy will be updated to name them and link to their own privacy documentation.
This site may embed content from third-party platforms (for example, YouTube video embeds). If embedded content is present, those providers may set their own cookies when you interact with that content. Jonathan Griffiths has no control over third-party cookies and recommends checking the privacy policies of those providers directly. YouTube is operated by Google LLC; their privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Strictly necessary cookies are typically session cookies — they expire when you close your browser. Analytics cookies are generally set for a period of up to 24 months, after which they expire automatically.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. The links below take you to the relevant help pages for the most common browsers:
Please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.
This policy may be updated from time to time — for example, if new tools are added to the site. The date at the top of this page will always reflect when the policy was last reviewed. Significant changes will be communicated where practical.
