1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

They can help websites function correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website, improve performance and, where applicable, provide relevant content or functionality.

Cookies may be placed by the website itself (first-party cookies) or by third-party services used on the website (third-party cookies).

​

2. How Sapphic Journeys Uses Cookies

Sapphic Journeys uses cookies and similar technologies to help operate our website, understand how visitors use it and improve your experience.

The cookies used on our website may fall into the following categories:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly.

They may support functions such as:

• Website security

• Page and session functionality

• Navigation

• Forms and other essential website features

• Maintaining basic website functionality

These cookies are generally necessary for the operation of the website and cannot always be disabled through our cookie consent tools.

Some essential cookies may be set by Wix, our website hosting and website management platform.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics technologies, including Wix Analytics and other analytics services, to help us understand how visitors use our website.

Analytics information may include:

• Which pages are visited

• How visitors navigate the website

• How long visitors spend on different pages

• General information about devices and browsers

• How visitors arrive at our website

• Website performance and usage patterns

We use this information to understand what is useful to our visitors and to improve our website, content and community experience.

Where analytics cookies are non-essential, we will seek your consent before placing them where required by applicable law.

Analytics information may be aggregated or otherwise processed so that it does not directly identify individual visitors.

Marketing and Social Media Cookies

Our website may contain links, social media features, embedded content or other integrations involving third-party platforms such as:

• Facebook

• Instagram

• TikTok

• Other social media or third-party services we may use in the future

These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies when their content or services are displayed or interacted with on our website.

The use of these technologies is controlled by the relevant third party and is subject to that organisation's own privacy and cookie policies.

Where applicable, we will seek your consent before allowing non-essential third-party cookies or similar technologies to operate.

Simply seeing a link to a social media platform does not necessarily mean that the platform has placed a cookie on your device.

​

3. Third-Party Services

Sapphic Journeys uses third-party services to help operate and develop our website and community.

These may include Wix, analytics providers, email marketing platforms and social media services.

If we use an email marketing platform such as Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite or another provider, that provider may use cookies or similar technologies when you interact with its services, including when you sign up to or interact with our emails.

The relevant provider's own privacy and cookie policies will apply to its processing of your information.

We will update this Cookie Policy where necessary if the services we use materially change.

​

Cookies may be either:

Session cookies

These cookies are temporary and are normally deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

These cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service provider that places it.

​

6. Cookies Used by Wix

Our website is built and hosted using Wix.

Wix may place essential cookies and other technologies on your device to provide website functionality, security, performance and analytics.

The types and purposes of Wix cookies may change as Wix updates its services.
