Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation, generating a personalised Cookie Declaration and access to secure areas of the Website. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.
Provider: Cookiebot
Cookiebot is listed as a necessary cookie due to the task it performs in ensuring you are fully notified of the Website's use of cookies, any data that is collected and shared with third parties, and to ensure that any online tracking is compliant with both the UK and EU General Data Protection Act (together 'GDPR') and the ePrivacy Directive ('ePR').
The Cookibot plugin is set to ensure that only necessary cookies are implemented until such time as direct consent to use any opt in cookies has been received from your device. Its automatic monthly scan frequency and the date each automatic scan is scheduled to occur on, are also all automatically set by Cookiebot. Focused Therapy London has no control over any temporary technical issues Cookiebot may experience which could delay either its automatic scan occurring and/or its automatic updating of the Cookie Declaration and Cookiebot Consent Popup used on the Website.
Preferences Cookies
Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way a website behaves, looks or any choices that have been made in relation to these matters. Examples include choices in relation to your preferred language or the region that you are in, as well as performing an action to indicate that you have been made aware of certain information which has been displayed, so it not displayed again for a set time period.
Provider: Popup Maker (manually added to the Cookies Declaration)
Any Popup Maker plugin cookies have currently been added manually to Cookies Declaration above by Focused Therapy London.
Cookies
Any Popup Maker cookies currently used on this Website are used only to set a temporarily time delay before re-displaying the same Popup Maker popup to a repeat visitors to the Website. These are anonymous cookies which are used to make the visitors experience more pleasant when visiting the Website, whilst while still delivering time-sensitive messaging in a popup format.

The primary function is to prevent visitors from being annoyed by seeing the same popup repeatedly when visiting the Website where this is not considered essential. This may result in cookies being saved for an extended period of time, and will depend on the expiry length set by Focused Therapy London for each of individual popup cookie.

Focused Therapy London is only made aware of how many times each individual popup is opened, and does not receive any other analytics based information from Popup Maker at the current time. The open rate for each individual popup is provided on an anonymous basis and is shown only as a number.
Data Storage
Popup Maker does not send the personal data details of any of this Website's visitors outside of Focused Therapy London's Website by default.
Cookies used by the Popup Maker plugin are categorised as Preference Cookies and have accordingly been manually added to the Cookiebot Cookies Declaration on this basis.
