Cookie Policy

In this Cookie Policy, we try to explain what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used and how to control the cookie preferences. For further information on how we use, store and keep your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.

You can at any time change or withdraw your preferences on our website, or change your preferences on your browser, as described below.

This Policy applies to the bonsaichildrenstherapy.com website.

Cookies and other technologies enable communications between you and other websites. Cookies are small data files sent from a server to your web browser and are stored in your browser’s cache and allow a website or a third party to recognise your browser. Cookies can provide a means to track user browsing over an extensive period of time and over different domains.

  • Session cookies are specific to a particular visit and carry information as you view different pages so you don’t have to re-enter information every time you change pages or go to checkout. Session cookies delete themselves automatically when you end the session or when you close your web browser.
  • Persistent cookies remember information about your preferences on the site and enable a server to recognise you every time you return. They are stored in your browser cache until you choose to delete them, or they delete themselves at the end of the period set by the operator.
  • Third-party cookies are not placed by us but by others and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and across multiple sessions. They are usually a type of persistent cookie and are stored until you delete them or they expire at the end of the period set by the operator. They store data about your use, but they can be helpful because they allow us to and customise your experience. You can configure your own browser’s settings to set your preferences to accept or reject cookies, including third-party cookies

In addition to cookies, there are other similar technologies which we or third parties use:

  • Web beacons: These are tiny graphics (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “web pixels”) with a unique identifier which are used to understand browsing activity. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are rendered invisibly on web pages when you open a page.
  • Social widgets: These are buttons or icons provided by third-party social media providers that allow you to interact with those social media services when you view a web page or a mobile app screen. These social widgets may collect browsing data, which may be received by the third party that provided the widget, and are controlled by the third parties.
  • UTM codes: These are strings that can appear in a URL (the “Uniform Resource Locator”, which is typically the http or https address entered to go to a web page) when a user moves from one web page or website to another, where the string can represent information about browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent the user to the receiving website.
  • Local Storage Objects: Also called flash cookies, these are sets of data that can be stored on your browser by a site or app. They can be used to maintain preferences, a history of usage, or even the state or settings of a site or an app.

Further information on cookies generally can be found at: http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm
