Cookie Policy
This policy explains how and why Psychovest uses cookies, and how you can manage your preferences.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Psychovest ("we," "our," or "us") uses them on psychovest.com (the "Site"), and the choices available to you regarding their use. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve efficiency, and to provide reporting information to website owners.
Cookies set by the website operator are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by third parties (such as analytics services) are called "third-party cookies."
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be disabled. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as managing your cookie consent preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
pv_cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted/declined) to avoid showing the banner on every visit | 12 months |
2.2 Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This helps us improve the content and user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized — we cannot identify individual users from this data.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors; used to generate aggregated usage statistics | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics | Used to persist session state | 2 years |
Analytics cookies are only set if you have accepted our cookie banner. We do not use analytics cookies for advertising targeting or profiling.
2.3 Functionality Cookies
We do not currently use functionality cookies beyond the strictly necessary category.
2.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
We do not use advertising or targeting cookies of any kind. Psychovest does not run advertising or allow third-party advertisers to place cookies on our Site.
3. How to Manage and Control Cookies
3.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference will be stored in the pv_cookie_consent cookie so we do not ask again during the preference period.
3.2 Browser Settings
You can control and manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies that have been set on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies (note: this may affect Site functionality)
- Set cookie preferences for specific websites
For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, please refer to your browser's help documentation:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
3.3 Opt Out of Google Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect Site functionality, including the proper functioning of the cookie consent mechanism. Disabling analytics cookies will simply mean we cannot collect aggregate usage data — you will still be able to browse and use all content on the Site without restriction.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies changes or in response to regulatory requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when changes were last made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
