This Cookie Policy explains how Therapy with Ailie uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit my website,
therapywithailie.com.
Because my practice provides specialised support for reproductive trauma, fertility, and baby loss, your privacy, confidentiality, and peace of mind are my highest priorities. This policy is designed to be completely transparent about what information is collected and why.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small, secure text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide basic, anonymous traffic data to website owners.
Cookies do not give me access to your computer, your personal files, or any identifying medical history.
2. How I Use Cookies
I only use cookies to ensure my digital sanctuary functions smoothly and to understand how visitors interact with my resources. I categorise these cookies into two groups:
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are mandatory for the basic security and operation of my website. Without them, the site cannot function properly.
- Booking System: I use a calendar plugin to let you arrange consultations. Essential cookies ensure the calendar functions correctly, remembers your selected timeslot as you move through the form, and prevents scheduling errors.
- Security: Cookies that protect the website from spam, malicious contact form submissions, or server errors.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies collect completely anonymous information about how visitors navigate my site.
- Google Analytics (GA4): I use Google Analytics 4 to track general, high-level metrics, such as which UK cities traffic comes from, how long people stay to read my blog posts, and which pages are most helpful.
- Why I use them: This data helps me understand if my reproductive trauma resources are reaching the people who need them most. It logs browser behavior, not your identity. It does not track your name, email, phone number, or specific therapeutic needs.
3. Your Consent and Control
In complete alignment with UK GDPR laws, non-essential analytics cookies are blocked by default when you first land on my website. They will only activate if you explicitly click “Accept” on my privacy consent banner.
You can change your mind or withdraw your consent at any time. You have the right to accept or decline cookies using the following methods:
- My Consent Banner: You can update your preferences by interacting with the cookie banner controls on my website.
- Your Browser Settings: You can configure your internet browser (such as Google Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft Edge) to refuse all cookies or to delete existing cookies from your device history.
Please note: If you choose to completely disable all cookies in your browser settings, some interactive elements of my site, such as the automated appointment booking calendar, may not function as intended.
4. Updates to This Policy
I may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in legal data regulations or adjustments to my website tools. Any updates will be published directly on this page with an updated modification date.
5. Contact Me
