This Cookie Policy explains how Essentia Psychological Services Co. uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, function more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

How we use cookies

Essential cookies

Always active – do not require consent

  • Purpose: allow core site functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent choice and enabling secure browsing.
  • Duration: typically session-length or up to 12 months.

These cannot be switched off, as the site would not function correctly without them.

Analytics cookies

Only set with your consent

  • Purpose: help us understand how visitors use this site – pages visited, time on site, and approximate location – so we can improve content and navigation. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
  • Provider: Google Analytics.
  • Duration: up to 24 months.

Third-party functional cookies

Set by embedded services

  • Kit (formerly ConvertKit): if you submit the form to receive our free eBook, our email delivery provider may use cookies to track form submissions and email engagement.
  • Google Fonts: loading typefaces may involve a request to Google’s servers, which can receive your IP address.
  • Easy Registration Forms: our contact and enquiry form plugin may set a short-lived technical cookie to help prevent spam submissions.

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit this site, you are shown a banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential (analytics) cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser’s cookies for this site, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

You can also manage or block cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to see what cookies are stored and delete them individually, or block cookies from particular or all websites. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how this site functions.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
