The Neurodiversity Practice
Effective date: July 2025
Last updated: March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Neurodiversity Practice uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function properly, remember your preferences, improve security, and provide information about how the website is used. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, or local storage tools that perform comparable functions.
2. Why we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
make our website work properly
keep the website secure
remember choices you make, where relevant
understand how visitors use the website
improve the performance and usability of the website
Under Irish law, cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or for a service you have explicitly requested may be used without consent. Other cookies, including analytics cookies, normally require your consent before they are placed on your device.
3. Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They may be used to support core functions such as page navigation, security, form submission, session management, and remembering technical selections during a browsing session. Because these cookies are necessary for the service you request, they do not require consent.
Preference or functional cookies
These cookies remember choices you make, such as cookie preferences or other settings, to improve your experience on the website. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before using them.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and whether any technical issues arise. This helps us improve the website. Under Irish DPC guidance, analytics cookies require consent, including first-party analytics cookies used only by the website operator. We will only use analytics cookies if you choose to accept them.
Third-party cookies
Some third-party services may place cookies through our website, for example where we use embedded content, appointment booking tools, forms, maps, videos, or payment tools. These third parties may collect information directly from your device in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will seek your consent before they are used.
4. How we obtain your consent
When you first visit our website, you may see a cookie banner or preference tool that allows you to choose whether to accept non-essential cookies. We will not place non-essential cookies on your device unless and until you give valid consent.
5. Changing or withdrawing your consent
You can change your cookie preferences or withdraw consent at any time by:
using the cookie settings or preferences tool on our website, if available
adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies
clearing cookies already stored on your device
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website functions.
6. Browser controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
view what cookies are stored
block some or all cookies
delete cookies
clear browsing data at the end of a session
Browser controls are separate from the choices you make through a website’s cookie banner. Even if you use browser controls, websites still need consent before placing non-essential cookies.
7. Information collected through cookies
Depending on the cookies used, information collected may include:
IP address
browser type and version
device type
pages visited
time spent on pages
referring website
general location data inferred from IP address
technical information about how the website is performing
Where cookie-related information can identify you, or can be linked to you, it is treated as personal data and handled in line with our Privacy Policy.
8. Cookie list
The specific cookies used on our website may change from time to time as the website develops. Where relevant, our cookie banner or cookie settings tool will provide more detailed information about the cookies currently in use, including their names, providers, purposes, and duration.
9. Third-party services
If we use third-party website tools such as online booking systems, embedded forms, maps, video content, or analytics providers, those providers may use cookies or similar technologies. Their processing may be governed by their own privacy and cookie policies as well as ours.
We encourage you to review the relevant third-party policies where applicable. If any such services involve transfers outside the EEA, we will address that in our Privacy Policy and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place where required.
10. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, guidance, technology, or our website. The latest version will always be posted on our website with the updated date shown above.
