Cookies Policy

This page explains how we use cookies and similar technologies, which tools may set cookies, and how you can manage your preferences.

Last updated: October 15, 2025

Overview

We use cookies and similar technologies to help our site function, remember your preferences, enable scheduling embeds, and, where enabled, measure site performance. You can control optional cookies and withdraw consent at any time.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, and SDKs. Cookies can be session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (kept for a defined period), and first‑party (set by our domain) or third‑party (set by another domain).

Types of cookies we use

Strictly Necessary

Security, load balancing, and consent storage (to remember your settings).
Core WordPress/Elementor functionality required to render pages and forms.

Functional

Scheduling widgets (e.g., Calendly or TidyCal) and embedded media which may set cookies to operate properly.

Analytics (optional)

If enabled, we use privacy‑minded analytics (e.g., GA4 or Matomo) to understand page performance. IP anonymization and retention limits may be applied.

Advertising

We do not currently use advertising cookies.

Tools & third parties

Scheduling: Calendly or TidyCal embeds may set cookies for session state and preferences.
WhatsApp: When you click WhatsApp, Meta/WhatsApp terms and cookies apply on their domain.
Media embeds: If we embed YouTube/Vimeo, those providers may set cookies.
Performance/CDN: If used, providers like Cloudflare may set necessary cookies (e.g., bot management).
Analytics: If enabled, GA4/Matomo may set analytics cookies; see the table below.

Managing your preferences

You can manage optional cookies via our preference banner and through your browser controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect site features (e.g., embedded scheduling).

Implementation notes: if you use a consent plugin, wire this button to its JS trigger (examples are commented in the code).
