Last updated: 13 November 2026
About this policy
This policy explains how 51 Degrees Design uses cookies and similar technologies on 51degreesdesign.com, and how you can control them.
51 Degrees Design is a company registered in England and Wales (company no. 09335298), based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean 51 Degrees Design. Our website runs on Squarespace, so Squarespace sets some cookies on our behalf.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and show the site owner how visitors use it.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by another company's service on that site, such as an embedded video, are "third-party" cookies. Some cookies last only until you close your browser (session cookies); others stay on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).
How we use cookies
We use cookies in three ways. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not sell any information collected through them.
Strictly necessary. These keep the site secure and working, for example, protecting our contact form from misuse and remembering your cookie choice. The site cannot work properly without them, so they do not need your consent.
Analytics. These tell us how many people visit, which pages they view and how they found us. We use this to improve the site. They are only set if you accept them in our cookie banner.
Functional. These remember choices you make, such as closing an announcement bar, so the site behaves as you expect on your next visit.

Squarespace's own handling of data is covered in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.
Managing your cookies
When you first visit our site, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always on. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the website footer.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of the site, such as the contact form, from working. Guidance for common browsers:
