RESTORATIVE CARE COUNSELING

Cookie Policy

Effective Date: August 26, 2026  |  Last Updated: August 26, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Restorative Care Counseling (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit restorativecarecounseling.com (the “Site”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have to control them.

This policy covers cookies used on our website only. It does not cover any information you share with us directly as a client, such as through our secure client portal, intake forms, or during a therapy session — that information is handled under separate privacy and confidentiality protections described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, provided separately to clients.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site’s owners. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, and tracking scripts, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes. You can accept or decline each category (other than Necessary cookies) through the cookie preferences banner shown when you first visit the Site, and you can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the site footer.

Necessary

These cookies are required for the Site to function — for example, remembering your cookie preferences and protecting the Site from spam and automated abuse. The Site cannot function properly without these, so they are not subject to consent.

Preferences

These cookies remember choices you make, such as your preferred language, so we can provide a more personalized experience on return visits.

Statistics (Analytics)

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Site — which pages are viewed, how visitors navigate the Site, and general engagement patterns — so we can improve the Site’s content and usability. Some of these tools (see the table below) may also record general navigation and interaction data, including information entered into general contact or scheduling forms on the Site. These cookies do not access or store any clinical or health information shared during therapy sessions or through the secure client portal.

Marketing

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, such as tracking when a visitor who clicked one of our ads goes on to book a consultation. They help us understand which outreach is helpful to the people who need it, and to manage our advertising budget responsibly.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data collected through its cookies. We encourage you to review those policies if you would like more detail.
