As part of our essential and functional cookies, we have the following ones from Squarespace:
Crumb: Prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Duration: session.

As part of our non-essential cookies (statistics and marketing), our website uses Google Analytics and Hotjar.
Google Analytics uses a set of cookies to collect information and report site usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google.
‘_ga’, the main cookie used by Google Analytics, enables a service to distinguish one visitor from another and lasts for 2 years. Any site that implements Google Analytics, including Google services, uses the ‘_ga’ cookie. Each ‘_ga’ cookie is unique to the specific property, so it cannot be used to track a given user or browser across unrelated websites.
Google services also use ‘NID’ and ‘ENID’ cookies on Google Search, and ‘VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE’ and ‘YEC’ cookies on YouTube, for analytics.
