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.
