This Cookie Policy explains how Bamsway (“I”, “my”, or “me”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit my website www.bamsway.com.

I am committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about the technologies I use.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information for site analytics and customization.

2. Types of cookies I use

I use the following categories of cookies on my website:

  • Necessary cookies (always active)
    These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of my website. They enable core features such as page navigation, shopping cart, secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly.

  • Performance and analytics cookies (optional)
    These cookies help me understand how visitors interact with my site by collecting anonymous information. They allow me to measure and improve website performance, for example by counting visits and traffic sources.

  • Advertising cookies (optional)
    I do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

3. Cookies I may use

On my website, I use cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of the site and for managing newsletter subscriptions:

  • Squarespace cookies: I use first-party cookies such as ss_cid, ss_cvisit, ss_cpvisit, and ss_cvr. These cookies are required for core site functionality, such as navigation, shopping cart, and remembering your cookie preferences. They also provide basic analytics within Squarespace. These cookies expire between 30 minutes and 2 years.

  • Mailchimp cookies: I use Mailchimp cookies such as mc_cid and mc_eid. These cookies are set when you subscribe to my newsletter or interact with email campaigns. They help me measure newsletter sign-ups and campaign performance. These cookies are third-party cookies, and their expiry varies depending on Mailchimp settings.

(Note: The exact cookie names and expiry times may change depending on updates from Squarespace and Mailchimp.)

4. Managing your cookie preferences

You can also change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of the website.

5. Third-party cookies

I use Mailchimp for newsletter subscriptions and email campaigns. Mailchimp may set cookies when you sign up for the newsletter or interact with email campaigns. These cookies help me measure the performance of my campaigns and improve your experience.

I do not use third-party advertising cookies such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel.
