“We,” “us," and “our” means Tracey Woolf trading as Tracey Woolf Counselling. For the purposes of this policy, the term “website” refers to our site www.traceywoolfcounselling.com and its subdomains.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them on our website. You are encouraged to read the entire policy in order to understand what information we collect using cookies, how that information is used, and how you can refuse cookies.

What are cookies?
A cookie is a text file that is stored on your device or computer’s hard disk by a web page server. Cookies are used by almost all websites and track your movements around a website, allowing the site to for example record information or create a tailored functionality based on your current and previous visits.
Cookies are uniquely designated to you. Only the web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you can read the cookie. Although cookies don’t typically contain personal information that could identify a user, we may hold personal information about you that could potentially be linked to the details stored in and gathered from cookies.
A cookie can be of either a "persistent" or "session" type:
Persistent cookies are stored through your web browser as a file on your device and stay there until a set expiry date (unless you delete it first). They can be read by the website that placed them when you revisit that site at a later date.
Session cookies expire when you close the web browser and are automatically deleted at that point. Typically they store an anonymous ‘session ID’ and don’t collect any personal information or details.
A cookie can also be either “essential” or “non-essential”:
Essential cookies are considered necessary for our website to function properly, in order to deliver the content that you ask of it, and will be automatically placed when you visit this site or use certain functionalities.
Non-essential cookies may relate to added functionalities such as advertising and marketing, or analysing traffic. We need to obtain your consent for these cookies to be placed on your device.
Other ways of categorising cookies include:
Performance cookies let us monitor and improve how our website performs overall, for example by counting visits and how long users spend on each page;
Functionality cookies let a website keep track of browsing choices you’ve made, preferences, or services you’ve requested such as viewing a video, generally with anonymised information.
Targeting cookies collect information about your specific visit to a website, including what pages you viewed and the links you clicked, in order to for example tailor any advertising displayed on the website.
First and third-party cookies are set by the website you’re currently visiting, versus set by other external websites, respectively. Third-party cookies could be placed for example when adverts by a 3rd party are displayed on a site.
