What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can help websites function correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use a website and measure the effectiveness of advertising.

Similar technologies, including tracking pixels, scripts and tags, may also collect or access information from your device.

How We Use Cookies

Josie Therapy uses cookies and similar technologies to:

• ensure the website functions correctly and securely;

• measure and improve website performance;

• provide features such as Google Maps;

• manage analytics and tracking technologies through Google Tag Manager; and

• measure the effectiveness of advertising and marketing where you have consented to this.

We do not activate optional analytics or marketing technologies that require consent unless you have made the relevant choice through our cookie consent controls.

Types of Cookies and Technologies We Use:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support essential functions of the website, such as security, navigation, form functionality and remembering your cookie preferences.

These technologies may operate without your consent when necessary to provide the website or another service you have requested.

Blocking essential cookies through your browser may affect how parts of the website work.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Josie Therapy website.

Depending on the configuration of the service, information collected may include:

• pages visited;

• interactions with the website;

• approximate visit duration;

• device and browser information;

• general geographic information.

This information helps us understand how the website is being used and identify ways to improve it.

Where consent is required, Google Analytics will be activated only after you have selected the appropriate option via our cookie controls.

3. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to manage certain website tags and tracking technologies.

Google Tag Manager provides the technical system through which other technologies, such as analytics or marketing tags, may be deployed.

Where a tag or technology requires consent, it should not be activated through Google Tag Manager until the appropriate consent has been provided.

4. Google Maps

We use Google Maps to help visitors find the location of Josie Therapy and Hove Therapy Rooms.

Google Maps is a third-party service provided by Google. Loading or interacting with an embedded map may result in Google receiving information about your device or your interactions with the map, and may involve cookies or similar technologies.

Where consent is required for these technologies, the map or associated technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been provided.

5. Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta, to help understand how visitors interact with the website after seeing or interacting with advertising on Meta platforms such as Facebook or Instagram.

Depending on its configuration, the Meta Pixel may be used to:

• measure visits and website interactions;

• measure advertising conversions;

• understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;

• create advertising audiences; and

• support remarketing or relevant advertising.

The Meta Pixel is an optional marketing technology and will be activated only after you have provided the appropriate consent through our cookie controls.

If you do not consent to marketing cookies, the Meta Pixel should remain disabled.

Josie Therapy uses an online booking service to help visitors arrange appointments or consultations.

The booking provider may use cookies or similar technologies when you access or interact with its booking features.

Depending on how the booking service is integrated into the website, information may also be processed directly by the booking provider.

Where optional cookies or technologies require consent, they will only be activated after you have made the appropriate choice.

For information about personal information submitted when making an enquiry or booking, please also see our Privacy Policy.
