8. Cookies and analytics

This website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files or identifiers stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website work correctly, remember basic technical settings, understand how visitors use the website, and improve the website experience.

This website may use the following types of cookies:

— Necessary cookies

— These cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They may be used for basic website operation, security, form submission, page loading, and remembering technical preferences. The website may not work properly without them.

Analytics cookies help understand how visitors use the website: which pages are visited, how visitors move through the website, which traffic sources bring visitors, and whether the website works correctly on different devices.

This information is used to improve the website, understand which pages are useful to visitors, and evaluate the effectiveness of advertising and website content.

The website may use analytics tools such as Yandex Metrica or similar services. These tools may collect technical and usage information, such as page views, traffic sources, approximate location based on IP address, device type, browser type, session duration, and interactions with website elements.

Analytics data is used in an aggregated or depersonalized form where possible. It is not used to identify you personally as a therapy client.

If advertising analytics is used, it may help understand which advertising campaigns lead visitors to the website and which pages are effective.

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We do not use the information you provide in the contact form for resale, automated decision-making, or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Contact form data and analytics data

Information that you submit through the contact form is separate from website analytics data.

Contact form data may include your name, contact details, preferred communication method, and the message you choose to send. This information is used only to respond to your request, contact you through the selected communication channel, arrange a consultation, and provide psychological services if you decide to work with me.

How to manage cookies

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to delete cookies, block cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored.

Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

If Yandex Metrica is used on this website, you may also be able to use Yandex’s own opt-out tools or browser settings to limit analytics tracking, depending on your browser and device.

The types of cookies and analytics tools used on this website may change from time to time. If significant changes are made, this Privacy Policy will be updated.

9. Sharing personal data with third parties

I do not sell your personal data and do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Your data may be processed with the help of service providers that are necessary for the website, communication, analytics, scheduling, or professional administration to work. These may include hosting providers, website platform providers, form services, email services, messengers, analytics tools, scheduling tools, or payment tools where applicable.

Personal data may also be disclosed if required by applicable law, a lawful request from competent authorities, or if disclosure is necessary to protect vital interests, safety, or legal rights.

10. International data transfers

If you contact me from another country, or if the communication tools and technical services used by the website operate internationally, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence.

This may include transfers to countries that have different data protection rules from your country.

In such cases, reasonable steps are taken to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

By submitting the contact form or sending me a message, you understand that your personal data may be processed through such international communication and technical services for the purpose of responding to your request, arranging a consultation, and providing psychological services if you decide to work with me.

If this ever changes, this policy will be updated and an appropriate opt-out method will be provided.

If your country’s law requires separate consent for sensitive personal data, your voluntary submission of information about your emotional state, health, relationships, personal life, or psychological difficulties is treated as your explicit consent to process that information only for the purposes described in this policy.
