This Cookies Policy is issued by C.C.P.E. PSYCHOTHERAPY & SEMINARS LIMITED (company number: 03220780), registered at Beauchamp Lodge, London, W2 6NE, United Kingdom. We operate the website located at universityadvisorseminar.info, which hosts information about our free educational webinar series on pet ownership and lifestyle compatibility.
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use on our website. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies placed on your device when you visit our website, and how we use them. It also explains how you can control and manage cookies. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive details about how we process personal data.
By continuing to use our website after being presented with the cookie consent banner, you acknowledge that you have read this Cookies Policy and understand how we use cookies. You may choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies at any time.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function properly, to improve efficiency, and to provide reporting information to website operators. Cookies are created by the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies) or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers (known as third-party cookies).
Cookies serve several functions. Some are strictly necessary for the website to operate correctly and securely. Others help website operators understand how visitors interact with their sites, which pages are most popular, and where visitors encounter difficulties. This information is used to improve the user experience and website performance over time.
Cookies do not typically contain personal information that directly identifies you. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies, as described in our Privacy Policy.
We use a limited number of cookies on our website, and we have categorized them into the groups described below. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies designed to track you across different websites for marketing purposes.
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, and security. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate as intended, and they cannot be switched off in our systems.
These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. They are set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your cookie consent preferences, filling in forms, or using the website's navigation features.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted, rejected, or settings) so the banner is not shown again on subsequent visits. | 12 months | First-party |
| session_id | Maintains your session state while browsing the website, ensuring forms and page navigation work correctly. | Session (deleted when browser closes) | First-party |
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on different pages, and whether users encounter any error messages. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, meaning we cannot identify individual visitors from the analytics data alone.
We use this aggregated information solely to improve how our website works, to understand which content is most useful to visitors, and to enhance the overall user experience. These cookies are only activated if you give your consent through our cookie consent banner. If you decline analytics cookies, they will not be placed on your device, and we will not collect analytics data from your visit.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. Included in each page request and used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for site analytics reports. | 13 months | Third-party (Google) |
| _ga_* | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist the session state. This cookie helps group a visitor's pageviews and interactions into a single browsing session. | 13 months | Third-party (Google) |
We want to be completely transparent about the types of cookies and tracking technologies we do not employ on this website. The following are explicitly not used:
We do not place any cookies for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements on our website or on other websites.
We do not use cookies to follow you across the internet or to show you our advertisements on other platforms after you leave our website.
We do not embed social media tracking pixels or cookies from platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
We do not create behavioral profiles of our visitors and do not use cookies to categorize users by interest, demographics, or browsing behavior.
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom-right corner of your screen. This banner provides you with three options:
You consent to all cookies, including analytics cookies. Your preference is saved for 12 months.
You can review detailed information about each cookie type and make granular choices.
Only strictly necessary cookies will be active. No analytics data will be collected from your visit.
Your cookie preference is stored locally in your browser using the localStorage mechanism. This means the banner will not appear again on subsequent visits unless you clear your browser data. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or by contacting us at the email address listed below.
The cookie consent banner does not block access to the website content. You can browse the website freely regardless of your cookie preference. Strictly necessary cookies will always be active as they are essential for the website to function.
In addition to the choices provided by our cookie consent banner, you can manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Please note that if you block all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), some parts of our website may not function correctly.

The only third-party cookies used on our website are those set by Google Analytics, as described in Section 3 above. These cookies are governed by Google's own privacy policy and terms of service. Google Analytics processes data on servers located in the United States and other countries.
We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy-enhancing settings:
Google Analytics cookies are only activated if you accept analytics cookies through our consent banner. If you decline, no Google Analytics scripts or cookies will load on your device.
In addition to cookies, our website uses the browser's localStorage feature to store your cookie consent preference. localStorage is similar to cookies in that it stores data locally on your device, but it does not expire automatically and is not sent to the server with each page request.
The specific localStorage item we use is:
You can clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools or settings. Clearing this data will cause the cookie consent banner to reappear on your next visit.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect cookie data or any other personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has accessed our website and cookies have been stored on their device, you can manage these cookies through the browser settings on that device, or contact us for assistance.
Our use of cookies is governed by the following legal bases under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR):
These are exempt from the consent requirement under PECR Regulation 6(4) because they are essential for providing the service you have requested (browsing the website, submitting forms).
These require your prior consent under PECR Regulation 6. We obtain this consent through our cookie consent banner before any analytics cookies are activated.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or applicable legal and regulatory requirements. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and may reset the cookie consent banner so you can review and acknowledge the updated policy.
We encourage you to review this Cookies Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Minor changes that do not materially affect your rights will be posted directly on this page without additional notice.
