Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20/08/2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Nic's Knacks ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It covers both sides of what we do — face painting for parties and events, and our handmade pottery — since the same website and tools power both.
By continuing to use our site, you agree to the use of cookies as described here. You can change your mind at any time (see "Managing Your Cookie Preferences" below).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep things running smoothly, and give us a general sense of how visitors use the site — so we can make it better for you.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few simple reasons:
Essential cookies — needed for the website and checkout to work properly (e.g. remembering what's in your cart when you're browsing pottery, or keeping our enquiry form working across steps for face painting bookings).
Functional cookies — remember your preferences, like your location for shipping calculations.
Analytics cookies — tell us (anonymously) how visitors move through the site, so we know what's working and what to improve.
Payment processing cookies — used by our payment providers to securely process transactions.
We don't use cookies to sell your data to third parties, and we don't run advertising retargeting.
3. Cookies We Use
Essential — Squarespace (our website platform): Site functionality, shopping cart, form submissions.
Payment — Squarespace Payments: Secure checkout for pottery orders and face painting bookings.
Payment — Square: Secure payment processing (in-person market sales; may apply if used online).
Analytics — Squarespace Analytics, Google Analytics: Understanding visitor traffic and behaviour across the site (e.g. pages visited, referral source, general location, device type).
If we ever add social media embeds, marketing pixels, or other tracking tools, we'll update this table and the version date above.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control. You can:
Use the cookie banner on our site to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies at any time (check your browser's help section for instructions — this varies by browser).
Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how well parts of the site work, like checkout or our enquiry form.
5. Third-Party Links
Our site may link out to other pages (like social media). Those sites have their own cookie and privacy practices, and this policy doesn't cover them.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time — for example, if we add a new tool or service to the site. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
