What this covers

This policy explains what cookies are used on paulatorraco.com and why.

The domain tobehonest.eu redirects to paulatorraco.com and is covered by this same policy.

For how I handle your personal data more broadly, see the Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
Some are necessary for the site to work.
Others help me understand how people use the site so I can improve it.

What cookies this site uses

Essential cookies (Squarespace)

These are set by Squarespace, the platform this site runs on. They keep the site working — things like remembering your session, loading pages correctly, and processing purchases securely. They don't collect personal information and can't be turned off without breaking the site.

Analytics

This site uses two analytics tools:

Squarespace Analytics— built into the platform. Collects anonymous data about how the site is used (pages visited, traffic sources, device type). This data is not shared with third parties.

Google Analytics 4 — provides additional insight into how people find and move through the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish between visitors and understand browsing behaviour. IP addresses are anonymised. I do not use this data for advertising, and it is not combined with other Google services for that purpose. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely by installing Google's browser opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Consent cookies

If you interact with the cookie consent banner on this site, a cookie is stored to remember your choice so you're not asked again on every visit.

Third-party embeds and services

This site includes an embedded tool from Bodygraph (bodygraph.com) that allows you to generate your Human Design chart by entering your birth details. This embed may set its own cookies. I don't control what Bodygraph collects through this tool — their own privacy policy applies (bodygraph.com/legal-page/privacy).

This site uses Google Fonts (Manrope and Fraunces), which are loaded from Google's servers. When a page loads, your browser connects to Google to retrieve these fonts, which means your IP address is transmitted to Google. Google's privacy policy applies to this data.

Social media links to Instagram, LinkedIn, and Substack are present on the site. These are standard links, not embedded widgets, so they don't set cookies on your device unless you click through to those platforms.

What this site does not do

This site does not use advertising or marketing cookies. I don't run ads, track you across other websites, or sell data to third parties. There is no retargeting and no personalised ad tracking.

Managing your cookies

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, block only third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close the browser.

If you've already accepted cookies through the consent banner and want to change your preference, you can clear your cookies for this site and the banner will appear again on your next visit.

Blocking essential cookies may affect how the site functions.
