Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Listening Room Counselling uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit this website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information that websites can store on your device. Websites may also use other technologies, such as scripts, tags or local storage, which can perform similar functions.

Some of these technologies are necessary for a website to work properly, while others may be used to understand how people use a website.

Technologies used on this website

This website uses a limited number of third-party services. These include Google Analyticsand Google reCAPTCHA.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics helps me understand how visitors use my website, for example which pages are visited and how people interact with the site. This information helps me understand and improve the website.

The website is configured so that Google Analytics cookies are denied by default until the visitor has made a consent choice.

The website uses Google’s Consent Mode. This means that the Google tag may load before consent, but Analytics cookies should remain denied unless consent has been given.

Where consent is required for analytics or other non-essential storage or access technologies, these should not be activated unless you have given the appropriate consent.

You can refuse analytics cookies and continue to use the website.

Google reCAPTCHA

Google reCAPTCHA is used to help protect the website and its forms from spam, automated submissions and misuse.

The service may process technical information relating to your device and interaction with the website for security purposes. Google may also use cookies or similar technologies as part of providing reCAPTCHA.

Where storage or access is strictly necessary for website security or to provide a service you have requested, it may not require consent. Any use extending beyond an applicable exemption must be handled in accordance with the relevant consent requirements.

Essential website technologies

The website may use technologies that are necessary for functions such as website security, remembering privacy choices or providing features that you request.

These are used only where necessary for the website to function or where another applicable exemption applies.

Your choices

Where consent is required, you should be given a choice before non-essential technologies are activated.

You can choose not to accept optional analytics technologies without losing access to the main website.

Where the website provides cookie or privacy settings, you can use these to change your choices. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although blocking essential technologies may affect how some parts of a website work.

Third-party services

Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA are provided by Google. Information processed through these services may be processed outside the UK. Google is responsible for its own processing and international-transfer safeguards where it acts as a separate controller.

You can find further information about how personal information is handled in the website’s Privacy Notice.

Changes to this policy

The technologies used by websites can change. This policy will therefore be reviewed and updated if the services or technologies used on this website change.
