Cookie Policy

Columbus Hypnosis Center | Yvonne Judge LLC
Last updated: November 8, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Columbus Hypnosis Center, operated by Yvonne Judge LLC, uses cookies and similar technologies on columbushypnosiscenter.com.

It explains what information these technologies collect, why we use them, and how visitors can manage their preferences.

For information about our broader privacy practices, please see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information, maintain functionality, and understand how visitors use their services.

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are associated with external services incorporated into a website.

Some technologies also use browser storage or transmit information without setting cookies.

2. How We Use Cookies

Our website uses cookies and related technologies for the following purposes:

• Consent preferences: Remembering whether you have accepted or rejected optional cookies.
• Website functionality: Maintaining form sessions and supporting form processing.
• Analytics: Understanding website traffic and usage through Google Analytics.
• Display preferences: Remembering dismissal of the preferred-source informational banner in localStorage.
• Third-party functionality: Supporting Google reCAPTCHA on forms where it is used.

Cookie-dependent functionality is controlled by the website's consent system.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising, remarketing, or advertising personalization.

3. Cookies Used on Our Website

The following inventory reflects the XCloud implementation checked on October 15, 2026. Google Analytics cookie lifetimes depend on browser and service settings.

These cookies are first-party cookies associated with columbushypnosiscenter.com, although some are created by Google Analytics.

The actual expiration of cookies may be shorter because of browser restrictions, user settings, or manual deletion.

The application cookies listed above are created only after the visitor accepts cookies.

XCloud Preview Hosting Cookie

This hosting-layer cookie can be set before website consent. It is not controlled by the website's Accept, Reject, or Cookie Preferences controls. This was observed on the preview hostname; it does not establish that the same cookie is used on columbushypnosiscenter.com.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our public website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed
• Session activity
• Browser and device information
• Referring websites
• Approximate geographic location
• General website interactions

Google Analytics is enabled only after visitors accept cookies.

Analytics operates on eligible public pages, including articles, service information, practitioner profiles, and other informational content.

Google Analytics is disabled on our contact forms, suggestibility questionnaire, and form-completion pages, regardless of cookie consent.

These exclusions include:

• /contact-us.php
• /suggestibility-questionnaire.php
• /contact-thank-you.php
• /suggestibility-thank-you.php

Our Analytics configuration excludes query parameters from the page-view URLs it sends to Google. Google advertising storage and advertising personalization are disabled.

For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Services

Some website features use third-party services that may process technical information when activated.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA to help protect forms from automated submissions and spam.

reCAPTCHA loads only after cookie acceptance.

Google reCAPTCHA may use browser-storage entries such as:

• rc::a in localStorage, which may persist between browsing sessions.
• rc::c in sessionStorage, which generally lasts for the current browsing session.

Google reCAPTCHA may process device, browser, IP address, and interaction information to perform security checks.

Other Services

Our website may use additional third-party services for functionality or security. When such services are present, they may process information according to their own privacy policies.

6. Browser Storage

In addition to cookies, our website uses browser storage to remember cookie preferences.

Storage key: chc_cookie_choice_v2

This entry records whether a visitor has accepted or rejected cookies.

It uses an application-managed expiration period of 180 days.

Unlike a cookie, localStorage generally remains in the browser until it is cleared or removed by the website.

Rejecting cookies does not create an acceptance cookie. The rejection preference is stored locally in the browser.

The preferred-source banner uses another localStorage key, chc_preferred_source_dismissed_until, to remember dismissal for seven days. This is written when you close that banner, independently of your Analytics choice, and is not used for analytics.

Third-party services such as reCAPTCHA may also use browser storage when activated.

7. How to Manage Cookie Preferences

Our website provides three cookie preference controls:

• Accept: Allows permitted cookies and cookie-dependent features to load.
• Reject: Prevents optional cookies and associated services from loading.
• Cookie Preferences: Allows visitors to review and change their previous choice.

Cookie preferences can be accessed through the Cookie Preferences link in the website footer.

Before acceptance, ordinary public content remains available without optional tracking. Cookie-dependent forms and embedded services may require acceptance before they can function.

Withdrawing Consent

You may withdraw previously granted cookie consent using the Cookie Preferences control.

When consent is withdrawn, the website attempts to remove its accessible first-party consent, session, analytics, and display-preference cookies. The page reloads to stop the affected integrations.

Withdrawal prevents those integrations from loading again unless you subsequently accept cookies.

Withdrawal does not erase information previously transmitted to third-party services. Our website also cannot directly delete cookies belonging to Google's domains or other external providers.

You can separately clear those cookies through your browser settings.

8. Browser Cookie Controls

Most modern browsers allow you to:

• View and delete stored cookies
• Block cookies from particular websites
• Restrict third-party cookies
• Clear localStorage and other browsing data

Blocking cookies may prevent forms or other website features from functioning correctly.

Browser settings and cookie preferences generally apply only to the browser and device on which they are configured.

For instructions, consult your browser's privacy settings.

9. Tracking Without Cookies

Not all online tracking or information transmission requires cookies.

When activated, services such as Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA may transmit technical information through browser network requests, including IP addresses and request metadata.

Our website's consent controls restrict when Analytics and reCAPTCHA load, as described in this policy.

We do not use website tracking technologies for targeted advertising or remarketing.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this policy when our website functionality, cookies, service providers, or applicable requirements change.
