Within Psychology Practice Limited is committed to ensuring that its website and use of cookies and other technologies complies with UK laws on privacy and data protection. This policy sets out the types of cookies and similar technologies used, the exact technologies in use, whether any third-party cookies are used, how you can control their use, expiry dates, and how to get in touch for more information.
1. What Are Cookies?Cookies are small files of information, usually containing letters and numbers, that websites store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as they are essential for the operation of a website or to provide a service you have requested. Where these cookies involve personal data, I rely on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR.
All other cookies will only be placed on your device with your consent, obtained via a cookie banner before any non-essential cookies are placed. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand what works well and how to improve. They also allow me to distinguish you from other visitors, helping to provide you with a seamless experience.
2. Similar TechnologiesIn addition to cookies, I may also use similar technologies such as local storage. These operate in a similar way to cookies and may store or access information on your device. Where these technologies are strictly necessary (for example, to ensure the website displays correctly), they are used without requiring consent. Where they are not strictly necessary, your consent will be obtained before use.
3. What Types of Cookies Do I Use?This website does not currently use any cookies. The only technology in use is a single local storage item, which is strictly necessary and is described in section 5 below. Should this change, this policy will be updated accordingly.
4. Exact Cookies Used on This Website| Name and type | Purpose and duration |
|---|---|
| No cookies currently in use | This website does not currently use any analytical, functionality, or advertising cookies. Should this change, this policy will be updated. |
| Name and type | Purpose and duration |
|---|---|
| wpEmojiSettingsSupports Local Storage (Essential) |
Used to check whether your browser supports emojis correctly on this website. No personal data is collected. Duration: Session only (cleared when you close your browser). |
While I aim to keep the above list accurate and up to date, similar technologies used on this website may change from time to time as the platform is updated. I encourage you to review this policy regularly.
6. Third-Party CookiesThis website does not currently use any third-party cookies. All technologies in use are first-party and are set and controlled by me. Should this change, for example if analytics tools are introduced, this policy will be updated to reflect that.
7. How Can You Control Cookies?As this website currently only uses essential cookies and strictly necessary similar technologies, there is no option to switch these off without affecting how the website works. However, you can:
- Set your browser to block or alert you about cookies
- View, block or delete cookies in most browsers under Settings, then Privacy, then Cookies
Please note that blocking essential cookies or local storage may mean some parts of this website do not function correctly or display as intended.
8. Expiry PeriodsEach technology's duration is set out in the tables above. The local storage item currently in use (wpEmojiSettingsSupports) is session-based, meaning it is automatically cleared when you close your browser. It does not persist between visits and no personal data is retained.
9. How Often Is This Policy Updated?This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or the cookies and technologies in use. Website platforms and third-party tools can introduce new technologies over time, and this policy will be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains accurate. Please check this page periodically for updates.
