What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file which
is downloaded and stored on your computer or mobile device by websites that you
visit. Where cookie technology is not available, an anonymous identifier may be

same purposes as a cookie.

are limited to communicating only the information that you have disclosed to
the site.

Essential cookies provide information
requested by the website user, for example a cookie for a shopping cart so that
a website remembers your order at the checkout page. There are also other types
of cookies which are described below, including non-essential cookies which include
cookies for analytics purposes.

Analytics Cookies:

Analytics cookies do not collect or
store visitors or client’s personal information (for example, names or
addresses), so this cannot be used to identify individuals. Google Analytics
use cookies (or, if applicable, anonymous identifiers) to collect data that
helps website owners understand how people are using the site and are usually
classed as non-essential cookies. The Stress Solution Sophrology uses Google
Analytics Cookies.

only by way of an encrypted connection such as https, these are for making the
cookies more secure from being hacked and fraud taking place.

personalise your browsing experience. For example, on an ecommerce site they
will remember your preferences or on a music site like Spotify they will
remember your choice of playlists or your favourite songs, so they can help you
find new content.

by a website with a different domain other than our website, such as adverts. These
types of cookies are usually used by advertisers to track your behaviours
across multiple websites.

are used when one system needs to talk to another system to ensure you are who
