Cookies on this site.

The public site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking scripts.

The short version

If you've ever visited a site and waited five seconds for a consent banner to appear, none of that happens here. We don't load Google Analytics, advertising pixels, social-media trackers, or any third-party scripts. There's nothing on the public pages that needs your consent.

One exception: the studio admin

The /studio-room/ area is used only by Saint Nicolas staff. When we sign in, the server sets a single first-party PHP session cookie to keep us logged in while we work. The cookie:

• is scoped to /studio-room/, so it isn't sent on public requests,
• contains a random session identifier — no personal data,
• expires when the browser closes or the session ends server-side.

Under the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly-necessary cookies for authentication don't require consent. This one falls into that category.

If that ever changes

If we add anything to the site that does need consent — for example analytics, embedded video, or social-media embeds — we'll publish a consent banner before the cookie is set, and we'll update this page. We don't currently plan to.

Changing your mind

You can change your decision at any time using the Cookie settings link in the page footer. Choosing Reject will immediately clear the Google Analytics cookies your browser stored for this site.
