Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you use the site. Some cookies are essential for the website to work properly, while others help us understand how visitors use the site so we can make improvements.

 

Cookies we use

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website. They enable core functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they do not require your consent.

Our website is built on Wix, which sets essential cookies to deliver the hosting service, maintain security, and ensure the site displays correctly.

 

Statistical and analytics cookies

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website. This helps me improve the site and the information I provide. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect anonymised information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, and how you arrived here.

Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, statistical cookies no longer require your prior consent. However, you have the right to opt out at any time without this affecting how the website works for you. You can opt out by adjusting your browser settings or by using Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

Advertising and tracking cookies

I do not use any advertising or marketing cookies on this website.

 

Third-party cookies

Cookies may be set by the following third-party services when you visit this website:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC, USA) — sets cookies to collect anonymised website usage statistics

• Sentry (Functional Software Inc, USA) — may set cookies for error monitoring to help identify and fix technical problems

• Wix (Wix.com Ltd, Israel) — sets cookies as part of the website hosting service

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. I encourage you to review them if you would like more detail about how they handle your data.

 

Cookie consent tool

I do not currently use a cookie consent banner or tool on this website. Because I do not use advertising or tracking cookies that require consent, and because statistical cookies are now exempt under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 provided an opt-out is available, a consent tool is not required. You can manage all cookies through your browser settings.

 

How to opt out or manage cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies are stored and delete them individually

• Block third-party cookies

• Block all cookies from specific sites

• Block all cookies from all sites

• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect how websites work for you.

For detailed instructions on managing cookies in different browsers, visit aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.

To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

 

Your rights

You have the right to opt out of statistical cookies at any time. This will not affect the core functionality of the website or prevent you from accessing any information.

If you have any questions about how I use cookies, please contact me at andreabarrattcounselling@ hotmail.com.

 

Updates to this policy

I will update this cookie policy if my use of cookies changes. Any significant changes will be reflected on this page.
