This Cookie Policy explains how Health Consultations ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on wellness-consultations.com (the "site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We keep our use of these technologies deliberately minimal.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your settings, and to understand how a site is being used. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, can store small pieces of information in the same way. In this policy we use the word "cookies" to cover both cookies and comparable browser storage.
Cookies can be "essential" (needed for the site to function and for it to remember choices you have made) or "non-essential" (for example, analytics that help us understand usage). Non-essential cookies are only used with your consent.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies and browser storage for two purposes only:
- Essential. To run the site and to remember your cookie choice. When you accept or decline non-essential cookies, we save that decision in your browser's local storage under the key hc_cookie_consent so that we do not have to ask you again on every visit. This value simply records "accepted" or "declined" and is not used to identify you.
- Analytics, only with consent. If, and only if, you accept, we may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate, for example which pages are visited and how visitors move through the site. This helps us improve the content and structure. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set.
We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.
3. Cookie categories
The table below summarises the categories of cookies and browser storage we may use, what they are for, and roughly how long they last. Exact durations can vary by browser and by provider.
Because your consent choice is stored in your browser rather than on our servers, clearing your browser's site data for this site will remove the saved hc_cookie_consent value, and the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit.
4. Managing your cookies
You are in control of non-essential cookies at all times.
- Using the banner. On your first visit, a cookie banner is shown near the bottom of the page. You can choose Accept to allow analytics or Decline to keep only essential cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser so the banner does not reappear on later visits.
- Changing your mind. Because the choice is stored in your browser, you can reset it by clearing this site's stored data (cookies and local storage) through your browser settings. The banner will then appear again on your next visit and you can make a new choice.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and local storage through their settings or privacy controls. Please note that blocking essential cookies or storage may affect how parts of the site work.
Clearing site data will also remove the saved hc_cookie_consent value, so you will be asked for your cookie choice again.
5. Third-party cookies
We do not use third-party advertising or social media tracking cookies. The only third-party cookies that may be set are those used by our privacy-friendly analytics, and these are set only if you accept analytics through the banner. If you decline, no third-party analytics cookies are placed. Any such provider processes usage information on our behalf and in line with our Privacy Policy.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site, to the technologies we use, or to legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
