1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to or stored on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies can help a website function properly, remember certain preferences, provide a more secure experience, and help website owners understand how visitors use their sites.
“Similar technologies” includes pixels, web beacons, tags, log files, and local storage — tools that recognize a device or browser or collect information about activity on the Website. This Cookie Policy uses “cookies” to refer to all of these technologies collectively, consistent with the terminology used in our Privacy Policy.
2. How This Website Uses Cookies
The Website is hosted and operated on Squarespace, which may place cookies on your device to securely provide and operate the Website. We group the cookies used on the Website into three categories, consistent with the categories available through our cookie banner: Necessary Cookies, Analytics and Performance Cookies, and Media and Marketing Cookies.
3. Necessary Cookies
Purpose: Required for the Website to function securely and properly. These cookies support core site functions, security, fraud prevention, navigation, form submissions, shopping-cart and checkout features, remembering your cookie-banner preference, and, if you create a customer account, keeping you securely logged in.
Consent: Cannot be turned off through our cookie banner because they are necessary for the Website to function.
4. Analytics and Performance Cookies
Purpose: If you consent through our cookie banner, we use Squarespace analytics and performance cookies to understand aggregate Website traffic and activity, such as how visitors arrive at the Website, which pages are visited, how visitors interact with the Website, and whether visitors return. We use this information to improve the Website, our content, and our Products and Services.
Consent: Optional. Placed only after you accept this category through our cookie banner.
5. Media and Marketing Cookies
Some pages on the Website embed third-party media, such as YouTube videos, or may in the future use advertising or retargeting pixels. Cookies placed by this embedded or linked content are not strictly necessary for the Website to function and fall into this Media and Marketing category.
For example, when you play an embedded YouTube video on the Website, YouTube (Google) may set cookies such as VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, and PREF, and, in some cases, advertising-related cookies such as IDE, as described in Section 8 (Cookies Placed by Squarespace) and Section 7 (Third-Party Services and Their Own Cookies) below.
Purpose: Supports embedded third-party media and, if activated, targeted advertising and retargeting campaigns intended to promote our Products and Services, consistent with the Behavioral Advertising section of our Privacy Policy.
Consent: Optional. Placed only after you accept this category through our cookie banner.
6. Information Collected Through Analytics
When Analytics and Performance Cookies are enabled, the information collected may include:
Browser type and device type.
Operating system.
General location derived from IP address.
Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
Referring website or traffic source.
Interactions with Website pages, forms, links, or commerce features.
Approximate visit date and time.
Whether a visitor is new or returning.
We use this information in aggregated or de-identified form to understand Website performance and visitor activity. We do not use Website analytics to provide mental health treatment, conduct clinical assessment, create therapy records, or make healthcare decisions.
7. Third-Party Services and Their Own Cookies
We link to or embed certain third-party services to operate our business and make it easier for visitors to browse products, contact us, schedule consultations, access forms, and view content. Depending on how you interact with these services, the applicable provider may collect information directly from you and may use its own cookies or tracking technologies under its own privacy policy. These third-party services currently include:
PAYHIP, KIT, AND SQUARESPACE COMMERCE
Links to purchase Digital Products, courses, trainings, subscriptions, or memberships may direct you to our storefront on Payhip, Kit, or Squarespace, as applicable: http://private-practice-cents-2.kit.com/. If you make a purchase or create an account through one of these storefronts, that platform and its payment-processing partners may collect information needed to process your transaction and provide access to your purchase. Please review the applicable platform's privacy policy before completing a transaction.
KIT (EMAIL)
We use Kit as our email marketing service provider. If you subscribe to our email list or submit your email address through a Kit form, Kit may set cookies or use similar technologies to manage your subscription, track email opens and clicks, and support automations, under Kit's own privacy practices.
GOOGLE CALENDAR / GOOGLE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING
We may provide a link to a Google Calendar appointment booking page so visitors can schedule a consultation. If you use the booking page, Google may set its own cookies and collect information you provide, under the Google Privacy Policy.
GOOGLE FORMS
We may link to Google Forms to collect registrations, feedback, waitlist sign-ups, or business inquiries. Google Forms is governed by Google's own privacy practices. Please do not submit client names, treatment records, health information, or other confidential clinical information through Google Forms.
YOUTUBE
We may embed or link to videos hosted on YouTube. As described in Section 5 above and Section 8 below, if you view an embedded YouTube video, YouTube or Google may collect information about your device, browser, and interaction with the video, and may set cookies including those used for advertising purposes.
We do not control the privacy practices of these or any other third-party website or service. We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party service before providing personal information.
8. Cookies Placed by Squarespace
Because the Website is hosted on Squarespace, Squarespace may place cookies including, but not limited to:
Cookies needed for security, fraud prevention, navigation, and core Website functionality (for example, cookies that support the shopping cart, checkout, and customer accounts).
A cookie that remembers your cookie-banner preference.
Analytics and performance cookies, if you consent, that help identify unique visitors and track visitor sessions on the Website.
Marketing cookies, if you consent, that support embedded media and any advertising features we enable.
For a full, current list of the cookies Squarespace uses, including cookie names, purposes, and durations, see Squarespace's help article, “The cookies Squarespace uses.”
9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner gives you the option to accept all cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category (Necessary, Analytics and Performance, and Media and Marketing). If you accept cookies, the banner will generally not reappear for 30 days unless you clear your browser's cookies.
You may change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie-preferences option available on the Website (for example, in the site footer), and through your browser settings. Please note that blocking or deleting Necessary Cookies may affect the availability or functionality of some Website features, such as the shopping cart or checkout.
You may also manage certain third-party advertising cookies directly through that provider's opt-out tools, as described in the Behavioral Advertising section of our Privacy Policy.
10. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, and we do not currently alter our data collection and cookie practices when we detect a Do Not Track signal from your browser.
11. Sensitive and Client Information
As described in our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, the Website is not intended for the submission of protected health information, psychotherapy notes, treatment records, or other client-identifying or clinical information. Please do not submit client names, session notes, diagnostic information, or other confidential clinical information through Website forms, comments, reviews, or any cookie-preference or contact feature.
12. Children's Privacy
Consistent with Section 5 (No Use by Minors) of our Terms and Conditions of Use and Section 13 (No Processing Children's Data) of our Privacy Policy, the Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information, through cookies or otherwise, from anyone under 18.
13. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our Website, the cookies or services we use, or applicable legal requirements, consistent with Section 23 (Changes to These Terms) of our Terms and Conditions of Use. The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently revised.
