Learn how we use cookies on the Emotional Tail Therapy website and how you can manage your preferences.
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how MPIRE SEMINARS LTD ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies on the Emotional Tail Therapy website located at aicharacterworkshop.info, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we process personal data.
By visiting our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookies Policy. When you first visit our site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally in your browser and respected throughout your browsing experience on our site.
We are committed to transparency regarding data collection. Our website is an educational platform focused on canine-assisted emotional therapy and stress management. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or any commercial tracking purposes. Our approach to cookies is minimal and focused solely on ensuring the website functions correctly and understanding general visitor patterns.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how visitors interact with their site. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or are manually deleted) or "session-based" (deleted automatically when you close your browser).
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that the website uses, such as analytics providers ("third-party cookies"). First-party cookies are controlled by us, while third-party cookies are managed by the respective external service.
In addition to traditional cookies, our website may also use similar technologies such as local storage (localStorage), which functions similarly to cookies but is stored differently in your browser. We use localStorage specifically to remember your cookie consent preferences so that you are not asked to make the same choice every time you visit.
We categorize the cookies used on our website into two main types. Below is a detailed explanation of each category, their purpose, and their duration.
Technical cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate as intended. Because they are essential, these cookies do not require your consent under applicable data protection laws, though we inform you about them for transparency.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or rejected) | Persistent (until cleared) | localStorage |
| Session ID | Maintains your browsing session state as you navigate between pages | Session (deleted on browser close) | First-party |
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about the pages visited, time spent on the site, and any errors encountered. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not identify you personally. We use this information solely to improve our website content and user experience. Analytics cookies are only activated if you provide your consent through the cookie banner or through the settings below.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated number | 13 months | Third-party (Google) |
| _ga_* | Used by Google Analytics to persist session state | 13 months | Third-party (Google) |
| _gid | Identifies unique visitors for the current day | 24 hours | Third-party (Google) |
We want to be clear about the types of cookies and tracking technologies that are not employed on our website. We believe this transparency is important for your trust and peace of mind.
We do not display advertisements on our website and do not use any advertising tracking cookies.
We do not track you across other websites for remarketing or retargeting purposes.
We do not embed social media plugins that place tracking cookies on your device.
We do not use any technology that tracks your activity across different websites or apps.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This banner provides you with three options:
Enables both technical and analytics cookies to function on your device.
Redirects you to this page where you can customize your cookie preferences individually.
Only essential technical cookies remain active. No analytics data is collected.
Your preference is saved using your browser's localStorage, so the banner will not reappear during subsequent visits unless you clear your browser data. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by visiting this page or by clearing your browser's local storage.
Beyond the preferences you set through our cookie banner, you can control and manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific or all websites. Please note that blocking all cookies may impact the functionality of our website and others you visit.
Below are links to cookie management instructions for the most common browsers:
If you use a different browser, please consult that browser's help documentation for cookie management instructions. You can also set your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept it.
Use the toggles below to manage which optional cookies are active on your device. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to function properly. Your preferences are saved locally in your browser.
Required for basic website functionality. These cannot be turned off.

Not used on this website. We do not serve advertisements or use retargeting.
Our use of cookies is governed by the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as retained in UK law. Under these regulations:
If you have questions about the legal basis for our cookie usage, you may contact us at [email protected].
When you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics may place cookies on your device. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses, which means your full IP address is never stored by Google in relation to our website.
We have also enabled IP anonymization and disabled data sharing with other Google products to ensure your privacy is protected to the greatest extent possible. The analytics data we receive is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
No other third-party services on our website place cookies on your device. We do not use social media plugins, advertising networks, or any third-party tracking tools beyond the analytics service described above.
Different cookies have different retention periods. Essential session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Your cookie consent preference stored in localStorage remains until you manually clear your browser data or change your preference on this page.
Analytics cookies, if you have consented to them, have a maximum retention period of 13 months. After this period, the cookies expire and are automatically removed from your device. Google Analytics data retention is set to the minimum period available (14 months for user-level data, after which it is automatically deleted).
You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, regardless of their set expiry date. Clearing your cookies will also remove your consent preference, meaning you will see the cookie consent banner again on your next visit.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has interacted with our website and cookies have been placed on their device, you can manage or delete these cookies through the browser settings on that device. You may also contact us at [email protected] if you have any concerns.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable laws, or improvements in our privacy practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
If we introduce new types of cookies that were not previously described in this policy, we will reset the cookie consent banner so that you have the opportunity to consent to or decline the new cookies. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
If you have questions about this Cookies Policy, our use of cookies, or your cookie preferences, please reach out to us using the information below.
