Use of Cookies
Cookies are small text files held on your computer. They allow us to give you the best browsing experience possible and mean we can understand how you use our website. Each web domain can only access cookies stored by that specific web domain, meaning that only SITE URL servers can access the cookies set by SITE URL. By using our website you accept our use of cookies.

The cookies allow us to identify your computer and find out details about your last visit. The information collected by cookies does not personally identify you; it includes general information about your computer settings, your connection to the Internet e.g. operating system and platform, IP address, your browsing patterns and timings of browsing on the website and your location.

You can delete and block cookies but parts of our website won’t work without them. The links below explain how you can control cookies via your internet browser.

A visit to a page on counselling-direct.co.uk may generate the following types of cookie:

1. Session cookies
Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. These simply enable us to identify that the same person is moving from page to page. Without session cookies many user functions on our website would not work. To make sure things run smoothly while you are using our website, a unique ID will track your session from page to page.

2. Persistent cookies
We also use certain cookies that are persistent, meaning that they last beyond your session. Persistent cookies help our website remember you as a user each time you use the same computer to revisit us. Persistent cookies last for a pre-defined period unless they are deleted.

3. Anonymous analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics for statistical purposes to track how many individual unique users we have and how often they visit our website. We collect data listing which of our pages are most frequently visited and by which types of users and from which countries.

You can opt out of these by visiting the Google Analytics opt out page.
