What cookies are

Small files with specific jobs.

Cookies are small text files placed on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit a website. Some last only for the browser session; others remain for a set period so the website or service can recognise your browser again.

Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking tags, can do related jobs. This policy uses “cookies” as a simple collective term for them.

Cookies this site uses

Managing your choices

Accept, reject or change your mind.

When you first visit, the cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Rejecting them will not stop you reading the website or contacting me, although embedded videos or some optional features may not work in the same way.

On the live website, select the small cookie-settings control shown at the edge of the screen to review or withdraw your choice. Necessary cookies cannot be switched off through the banner because they provide the choice mechanism and essential security.

Browser controls

You can also delete or block cookies through your browser:

I will review this policy when the website or its services change. The updated date at the top will show when it was last revised. For questions about cookies or the use of website information, email Info@StephenTherapy.com.
