Cookie Policy


Last updated: 17 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Cristjen Lai Atelier uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

They can perform different functions, such as allowing a website to work correctly, remembering your preferences or providing information about how visitors use a website.

Cookies may be:

Session cookies
These normally disappear when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies
These remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

First-party cookies
These are placed by this website.

Third-party cookies
These are placed by another service or organisation whose technology is used on the website.

Similar technologies, including local storage, pixels or comparable tools, may be treated in the same way where applicable.

2. How this website uses cookies

Cristjen Lai Atelier may use the following categories of cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to work properly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

  • website security;

  • page navigation;

  • form functionality;

  • maintaining sessions;

  • remembering privacy or cookie preferences;

  • processing transactions;

  • enabling functionality that you specifically request.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or a service you request, they generally do not require your consent.

Disabling them through your browser may cause parts of the website to stop functioning correctly.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember certain choices or provide enhanced functionality.

Depending on how they operate and the information they collect, consent may be requested before they are used.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help understand how visitors use the website.

They may collect information such as:

  • pages visited;

  • approximate visit duration;

  • navigation through the site;

  • referring website;

  • browser or device type;

  • general website-performance information.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies will only be activated after you have given consent.

Marketing or tracking cookies

If marketing, advertising, social-media tracking or similar technologies are introduced in the future, they may be used to understand activity across websites or to measure advertising.

These technologies will not be activated without consent where consent is legally required.

Cristjen Lai Atelier does not currently intend to use behavioural advertising as a central part of the website.

3. Squarespace

This website may be hosted using Squarespace.

Squarespace may place cookies required to operate features of the website, maintain security, display content, manage forms, remember settings or provide website functionality.

Depending on the Squarespace features enabled on this site, additional analytics or performance cookies may also be available.

The exact cookies used can change as the website or Squarespace services are updated.

Where a Squarespace feature uses a cookie that requires consent, it should only be activated after the appropriate permission has been obtained through the cookie-consent system.

4. Third-party services

The website may contain or integrate third-party services, for example:

  • payment providers;

  • embedded video;

  • social-media content;

  • maps;

  • analytics tools;

  • scheduling or reservation tools.

These services may place their own cookies or similar technologies when activated.

Where legally required, non-essential third-party technologies will not be loaded until you have given the relevant consent.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy practices.

5. Cookie consent

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner or privacy-preference panel.

Where consent is required, you will be able to choose whether to allow the relevant categories of cookies.

Non-essential cookies requiring consent should not be activated merely because you continue browsing the website.

Declining optional cookies will not prevent you from accessing the ordinary content of the website, although some optional or embedded features may not function.

6. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You can change your cookie preferences or withdraw previously given consent at any time through the website’s Cookie Settings or equivalent privacy-preference control.

Withdrawing consent will not affect processing that was lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

You may also delete cookies directly through your browser.

Browser settings usually allow you to:

  • see which cookies have been stored;

  • delete existing cookies;

  • block some or all cookies;

  • prevent certain websites from storing cookies.

Blocking all cookies may cause some website functions to stop working correctly.

7. Current cookies

The precise cookies used by this website depend on the Squarespace features and third-party integrations that are active at a particular time.

Where appropriate, the website’s cookie-consent interface will provide information about active cookie categories and their purposes.

This policy will be updated if the way cookies are used changes materially.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

Cristjen Lai Atelier may update this policy when website functions, third-party services or legal requirements change.

The most recent version will be published on this page with the date of the latest update.
