Introduction
This Cookie Policy (Policy) explains, in plain English, how and why Crossroads Psychology ltd (Crossroads Psychology, we, us, our) recognises the importance of protecting your cookies.
How does The Crossroads Psychology use cookies?
We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors, to better understand how our websites are used and to monitor how our advertisements perform. Cookies may tell us, for example, whether you have visited our site before or whether you are a new visitor.
Your rights
Our cookies do not store financial information or information which is capable of directly identifying you (such as your name or address). You have the right to choose whether to accept these cookies. You can exercise this right by amending or setting the controls on your browser to reflect your cookie preferences. However, you should be aware that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
Changing your cookie preferences
The "Help" menu in the toolbar of most web browsers will tell you how to change your browser's cookie settings, including how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. An online guide (this link is external to The Crossroads Psychology) is available if you have difficulties trying to change your browser settings.
Cookie terminology
We have classified our cookies into two broad types - 'first party cookies' and 'third party cookies':
-
First party cookies are cookies that are served directly by the website operator to your computer, and are often used to recognise your computer when it revisits The Crossroads Psychology’s site and to remember your preferences as you browse the site.
-
Third party cookies are served by a service provider on behalf of the website operator, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer when it visits other web sites. Third party cookies are used for a variety of reasons, most commonly used for website analytics or advertising purposes. More details are provided in the third party cookie section.
In addition, cookies may be either 'session cookies' or 'persistent cookies'. Your computer automatically removes session cookies once you close your browser. Persistent cookies will survive on your computer until an expiry date specified in the cookie itself, is reached.
