This Cookie Policy outlines how cookies are used on our website. Please note that separate cookie policies may apply on our therapy platforms associated with the delivery of online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) services.

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. This page explains what cookies are, how we make use of them, and the options available for managing your cookie preferences.

 

What is a cookie?
Most websites use cookies to enhance how visitors experience and interact with them. Cookies allow a site to remember you and how you’ve used it during previous visits.
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you access a website. Only the server that created the cookie can view or retrieve its contents. Each cookie is unique to your browser and typically contains anonymous data—such as a randomly generated identifier and the name of the website it belongs to.

 

How we use cookies
Cookies help us deliver a smoother and more personalised experience. We use them to:

• Recognise when you return to the site

• Store preferences and support key website functions

• Improve site performance and ease of use

• Understand how visitors navigate our pages

• Tailor website content and online advertising to your interests

Cookies do not store personal details on their own, and in many cases, the information collected cannot be linked back to an individual. However, in situations where you log in, register, or download resources, we may associate cookie data with your personal information. We never sell data collected through cookies and will only share it where required by law.

 

Types of cookies we use
To help you understand why cookies are used, we’ve grouped them into the following categories:

• Strictly necessary – essential for the website to function correctly

• Performance – used to analyse how the website performs and how it can be improved

• Targeting – used to create interest profiles and provide relevant content or advertising

Google products
This website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with the site. GA4 uses cookies to provide insights such as visitor origin, devices used, session details, and user interactions. We may also use related products such as Google Tag Manager for tracking actions, and Google Search Console to monitor overall site health and performance.

We use Google Ads to display advertising based on user search behaviour.

Users can opt out through Google’s Ads Settings or via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Google does not combine your IP address with other data they hold.

Managing your cookies
If you prefer not to have websites store cookies on your device, you can block or delete them. Doing so may limit some features or reduce site performance.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie icon located at the bottom-left of the screen.

You can also adjust cookie settings directly in your browser. Useful guides for common browsers can be found here:

• Google Chrome

• Internet Explorer

• Safari

• Firefox

Alternatively, www.aboutcookies.org provides detailed instructions for many different browsers.

What happens if I restrict cookies?
Blocking or deleting cookies won’t prevent the basic site from working, but features that rely on logging in or remembering preferences may not function. We also won’t be able to tailor content or include your visit in analytics, which we rely on to improve the website.
