Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Paul Morris & Associates ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.otneuro.co.uk (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data more generally.

By continuing to use the Site, where you have given your consent, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner about how the site is used.

Cookies set directly by us are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by a service other than us — for example, Google — are called "third-party cookies."

2. The cookies we use

We use a limited number of cookies on this Site, set out below.

Cookie name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Expiry
`_ga`	Google Analytics	Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. Used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data.	Analytics	2 years
`_ga_<container-id>`	Google Analytics	Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state.	Analytics	2 years
`cookie_consent`	otneuro.co.uk	Remembers the choice made in our cookie banner so you aren't asked again.	Strictly necessary	6–12 months

Exact Google Analytics cookie names can vary slightly depending on configuration. We review this table periodically to keep it accurate — if you spot a discrepancy, please let us know using the contact details below.

3. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the Site to function properly — for example, remembering your cookie consent choice. These cannot be switched off and don't store any personally identifiable information. They aren't set until you interact with the consent banner.

Analytics / performance cookies (Google Analytics)
These help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and how visitors found us — so we can improve it. Data collected is generally aggregated and used to understand overall trends rather than to identify you personally. These cookies are not set until you give consent.

Google Analytics may transfer data to servers outside the UK/EEA. Google's use of this data is governed by Google's own privacy policy.

We do not currently use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.

4. How we obtain your consent

When you first visit the Site, you'll be shown a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies, such as Google Analytics. Analytics cookies are only set if you actively consent. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your cookies via your browser settings, or by using the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link in the banner.

If you do not consent, only strictly necessary cookies will be used.

5. How to control cookies via your browser

In addition to the controls we provide, you can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored, block third-party cookies, block cookies from specific sites, block all cookies, or delete cookies on close.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how the Site functions. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google's opt-out browser add-on.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, or for legal or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
