Cookie Policy

Last updated July 24, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Commonwealth Psychotherapy, PLLC ("Commonwealth Psychotherapy," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit commonwealth-psychotherapy.com ("Website").

This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use. In some cases, cookies may collect personal information or become personal information when combined with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work properly, improve efficiency, and provide reporting information.

Cookies set directly by Commonwealth Psychotherapy are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by other organizations are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies may support features provided through the Website, such as embedded content, analytics, scheduling tools, videos, or other interactive functionality.

Third parties that set cookies may be able to recognize your device when it visits this Website and when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons so that the Website can operate properly. These are referred to as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies.

Other cookies may help us understand how visitors use the Website, improve performance, remember preferences, or support third-party features and services. The cookies used may vary depending on the pages, tools, and services you access.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject nonessential cookies. You may be able to manage your preferences through the cookie notification banner or Cookie Consent Manager displayed on the Website.

Essential cookies cannot be rejected because they are necessary for the Website to function and provide requested services.

If you reject certain cookies, you may still use the Website, although some features or areas may not function as intended. You may also configure your web browser to accept, refuse, or delete cookies.

Essential website cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide services available through the Website and enable core functionality, such as page navigation, form security, and access to secure areas.

Performance and functionality cookies

These cookies may enhance the performance and functionality of the Website but are not essential to its basic operation. Without these cookies, certain features, such as embedded videos or interactive tools, may not be available.

Analytics and customization cookies

These cookies collect information that may be used in aggregate form to help us understand how the Website is being used, evaluate performance, and improve the visitor experience.

How can I control cookies through my browser?

The steps for refusing, deleting, or managing cookies vary by browser. Please visit your browser’s settings or help menu for instructions. Common browsers include:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Opera

Some advertising and analytics networks also provide tools that allow users to manage interest-based advertising preferences. Additional information may be available through:

  • Digital Advertising Alliance
  • Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada
  • European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We or our service providers may use similar technologies, such as web beacons, tracking pixels, or clear GIFs.

These technologies may help us understand traffic patterns, determine how visitors reached the Website, monitor Website performance, measure the effectiveness of communications, or determine whether an email has been opened.

Many of these technologies rely on cookies to function properly. Rejecting certain cookies may therefore limit their functionality.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Some websites may use Local Shared Objects, sometimes called "Flash Cookies," to store information about the use of services or support certain site operations.

Modern browsers and devices generally no longer support Adobe Flash. Commonwealth Psychotherapy does not intentionally use Flash-based features. If a third-party service introduces similar local storage technology, you may be able to manage it through your browser, device, or third-party service settings.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third-party service providers may place cookies on your device to measure Website activity or support advertising and marketing functions. These providers may use information about visits to this and other websites to display content or advertisements that may be relevant to your interests.

Information collected through these technologies does not ordinarily identify you by name, email address, or other direct contact information unless you choose to provide that information.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes to the cookies and technologies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.

Please review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last updated.
