Introduction

At The Remote Therapy Space, I respect your privacy and am committed to being transparent about the technologies I use. This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies and other similar technologies may be stored on and accessed from your device when you use or visit my website. This Cookie Policy should be read together with my Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

A “cookie” is a small piece of information that is stored on your computer’s hard drive and which records how you move around a website so that, when you revisit that website, it can present tailored options based on the information stored about your last visit. Cookies can also be used to analyse traffic and for website functionality.

Cookies are used by nearly all websites and do not harm your system. If you want to check or change what types of cookies you accept, this can usually be altered within your browser settings.

How I Use Cookies

I use cookies to track your use of my website. This enables me to understand how you use the site and track any patterns with regards to how you are using the website. This helps me to develop and improve my website as well as the therapeutic services I provide in response to what you might need or want.

Types of Cookies Used

Cookie Duration

Cookies are either:

• Session cookies: These are only stored on your computer during your web session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They usually store an anonymous session ID allowing you to browse a website without having to log in to each page. They do not collect any personal data from your computer.
• Persistent cookies: A persistent cookie is stored as a file on your computer and remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the website that created it when you visit that website again. I use persistent cookies for website analytics and functionality.

Specific Cookies I Use

The table below details the specific cookies used on my website:

Note: This list may not be exhaustive and will be updated as the website evolves.

Third-Party Cookies

In some special cases, I use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

• Google Analytics: This site uses Google Analytics which is one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping me to understand how you use the site and ways that I can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit so I can continue to produce engaging content. For more information on Google Analytics cookies, see the official Google Analytics page.
• WordPress: As my website is built on WordPress, some cookies are set by WordPress to enable core functionality. These are primarily used to maintain your session when logged in to the admin area or to remember your preferences.

I take the privacy of my clients seriously, particularly given the sensitive nature of therapy for those with physical health conditions and trauma. I have configured all third-party services to collect the minimum data necessary and, where possible, anonymise information.

Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit my website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” button at the bottom of this page.

In addition, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data

Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of my website. In particular, strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly.

International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party services I use, such as Google Analytics, may transfer your data outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA). When this occurs, I ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your information, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or UK authorities.

Given the sensitive nature of therapy services, I take additional precautions with your data and only use services that maintain high standards of data protection, regardless of geographic location.

Changes to My Cookie Policy

I may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you when you next visit the website. I encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how I use cookies.
