This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Christina Archontous, Licensed School Psychologist and Leadership Specialist uses cookies on my website www.christianaarchontous.com, and your choices regarding cookies.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide certain functionalities, as well as to gather basic information about your Browse habits.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies:

• Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, until they expire or are manually deleted.

2. How I Use Cookies

I use cookies for the following purposes on my website:

• Essential / Necessary Cookies: These cookies are fundamental for the basic operation of my website. They enable core functionalities such as navigating the site, submitting forms (e.g., contact forms), and maintaining security. Without these cookies, the website may not function correctly.
• Analytical / Performance Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use my website (e.g., which pages are visited most often, the duration of visits, if any error messages are encountered). This helps me understand website traffic and improve the website’s performance and user experience. I typically use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) for this purpose. These cookies collect aggregated data that does not directly identify you.

I do not use cookies for direct marketing or profiling purposes that would track your personal Browse habits across other websites.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to my own cookies, third-party services that I use (e.g., website analytics providers, embedded content from secure platforms) may also place cookies on your device. These are cookies set by a domain other than my website. For example, if I embed a video or use a secure online booking system, the third-party provider for that content or service might set its own cookies. These third parties have their own privacy policies regarding how they handle the information they collect.

Please note that this website does not use cookies to collect or process any special categories of personal data, such as information about your health, mental well-being, or any details you may choose to share as part of psychological consultations. Any personal data you voluntarily provide (e.g., via contact forms) is handled confidentially and in accordance with the Privacy Policy and relevant data protection legislation.
