about this policy
This policy explains how Norso Creative uses cookies and similar technologies on norsocreative.com (the "site"), what they do, and how you can control them.
We use cookies under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR. For anything that is not strictly necessary, we ask for your consent before we set it, and you can change your mind at any time.
For how we handle your personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy.
the cookies we use
strictly necessary (always on)
These make the site work and keep it secure. They do not need your consent, and you cannot turn them off through our cookie banner. Blocking them in your browser may break parts of the site.

Our site is built on Squarespace, which sets these cookies to run and secure the site.
analytics (consent required)
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We only set them if you accept analytics cookies. We use two analytics tools: Squarespace's built-in analytics and Google Analytics 4.
Squarespace and Google act as our processors for these cookies. Their own information is here:
Squarespace:
Google:
embedded media (consent required)
We are a video production company, so pages may include embedded video players. We load these players as "click to play". Until you press play on a video, the player does not set any cookies. When you choose to play a video, the provider sets its own cookies to run the player and measure playback - so pressing play is the point at which these cookies are set.
If you would rather not set these cookies, simply do not play the embedded videos.

YouTube / Google: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
advertising (consent required)
Our cookie banner includes an 'Advertising' category provided by our platform. Norso Creative does not currently use advertising or targeting cookies, so none are set.
how we ask for your consent
When you first visit the site, the Squarespace cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless because the site cannot function without them.
We store a record of your choice and do not set analytics cookies until you have given consent for that category.
changing your mind
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time, and it is as easy to withdraw as it was to give:
On our site: open Cookie preferences in the footer and update your choices.
In your browser: you can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Guides for common browsers:
Chrome:
Safari:
Firefox:
Edge:
Withdrawing consent does not affect cookies already set before you withdrew, but you can delete those through your browser at any time. Blocking all cookies may stop parts of the site working.
your rights and how to complain
Cookies that identify your device may count as personal data. You have rights over that data, including access, rectification, erasure, and objection. These are set out in full in our Privacy Policy.
If you have a concern we have not resolved, you can complain to the UK regulator:

changes to this policy
