1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Sean Humfrey Counselling uses cookies and similar technologies on www.seanhumfreycounselling.com. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or phone when you visit a website. Websites may also use other technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device. These can include local storage, pixels, scripts and tags. The legal rules can apply to these technologies as well as traditional cookies.
3. Technologies used on this website
My website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace and any features or third-party services enabled on the site may use technologies that are necessary for the website to operate, protect it, remember preferences, or measure how the site is used.
The precise technologies present can change when website features, settings or integrations change. I will review the website's cookie and technology settings and update this policy when necessary.
4. Categories and consent
Strictly necessary technologies: Some technologies are needed to provide a service you have requested or to make the website function securely and correctly. These may be used where an applicable legal exception applies.
Analytics and performance technologies: If enabled, these may help me understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors navigate the site. They will be used only in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and the choices presented through the cookie settings.
Other third-party technologies: Features supplied by other organisations may use their own technologies. If such features are present, the relevant provider and purpose should be identified in the cookie settings and this policy.
Where consent is required, non-essential technologies will not be used before you have given valid consent. You can refuse non-essential technologies without losing access to the ordinary content of the website.
5. Managing your preferences
When you visit the website, the cookie banner should provide clear choices in relation to non-essential technologies. You can use the banner to accept, reject or manage the relevant categories, depending on the options configured on the site.
You should also be able to revisit your preferences using the cookie settings link or control provided on the website. You can delete cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect website functionality or remove saved preferences.
A browser setting to block cookies is not a substitute for providing an appropriate consent mechanism where the law requires one.
6. Third-party providers
Squarespace provides the website hosting platform. Other providers may be involved if I enable integrations or features on the website. Those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms.
Before publication, identify any third-party providers whose technologies are active on the live website, and make sure the cookie banner and settings accurately reflect them.
7. Changes and contact
I may update this policy when the website, its features or the technologies it uses change, or when legal requirements change.
