Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Safe Hands Home & Pet Sitting uses cookies and similar technologies on safehandshomeandpet.co.uk. The website is built and hosted using Squarespace. The exact cookies placed can vary according to the Squarespace features and third-party integrations enabled on the site.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar storage technologies placed on a device when a website is visited. They can be used to make a website work, remember preferences and help understand how visitors use the site.

2. Categories used on this website

Necessary cookies are used where needed to operate the website, provide security, remember consent choices or enable core features. These do not require consent where the legal exemption applies.

Analytics and performance cookies help understand how visitors interact with the website, such as traffic sources, visitor numbers and sessions. These cookies are restricted until the required consent is given through the website’s cookie controls.

Marketing cookies are not intentionally used by Safe Hands unless a future advertising or marketing integration is enabled. If that changes, the policy and consent controls will be updated before those cookies are used where consent is required.

3. Squarespace cookies currently relevant to the site

4. Cookie consent and changing your choice

The website uses Squarespace cookie controls. Where non-essential cookies require consent, visitors can accept, decline or manage categories through the cookie banner or cookie settings control. You can change or withdraw consent at any time by reopening the cookie settings control on the website. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect some website functions.

5. Third-party services

Third-party services added to Squarespace may set their own cookies or receive technical data. Safe Hands will review the privacy and cookie behaviour of any new integration before enabling it and will update this policy where necessary. The current website links to Instagram; simply following the link takes you to Instagram, whose own privacy and cookie terms then apply.

6. International transfers

Squarespace may process data in countries outside the UK. Squarespace states that it uses recognised transfer mechanisms and safeguards for relevant international transfers, including the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable.

7. Your rights and contact

For information about your data protection rights and how personal information is handled, read the Safe Hands Privacy Policy. Questions about cookies can be sent to hello@safehandshomeandpet.co.uk.

8. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated if the website’s cookie settings, integrations or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on the website.
