Lemon Counselling - For when life gives you lemons

Cookie Policy

This policy explains how cookies are used on lemoncounselling.co.nz. In short: we only use a small number of cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work and to keep the contact form safe. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.

What are cookies?

  • Cookies are small text files that a website can store in your browser. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owner. Some functions on this site also rely on similar technologies provided by third parties.

Cookies we use

  • Spam protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) — Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell humans and automated bots apart. To do this, Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie in your browser. Without it the contact form cannot protect against spam and abuse. This cookie does not track you across other websites.
  • Admin login (Lemon Counselling) — A secure, session-only cookie is used to keep the site administrator logged in when managing blog content. This cookie is only ever set after a successful login to the private admin area. It is never set for ordinary visitors.

Embedded content from other sites

  • Video (YouTube) — Our introduction video is embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube does not set cookies for this video unless you choose to press play, at which point YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies under its own privacy and cookie policies.
  • Fonts — Our website font is loaded from a third-party font service so the site displays as intended. This is used only to deliver the font and not to track you.

Cookies we do not use

  • We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics tools.
  • We do not use advertising, marketing, or social media tracking cookies.
  • We do not sell or share your browsing information with advertisers.

Managing cookies

  • Because the cookies on this site are strictly necessary for it to function and to keep the contact form secure, we do not show a cookie consent banner. You can still control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time — most browsers let you block or remove cookies under their privacy or security options. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as the contact form, from working properly.

Questions

  • If you have any questions about how we use cookies or your privacy, please email [email protected].
