This Cookie Policy explains how The Recovery Space may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

The Recovery Space is built using Wix. Wix may use cookies and similar technologies that are needed for the website to work properly, remain secure, load correctly and remember visitor choices. The Recovery Space does not intentionally use optional advertising, marketing or behavioural tracking tools unless they are clearly added to the website and reflected in this policy.

​

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help a website work properly, remember certain choices, improve security, understand how visitors use a website, or support advertising and marketing features.

Some cookies are necessary for a website to function. Other cookies, such as analytics, functional or marketing cookies, are optional and should only be used where appropriate consent has been given.

​

How The Recovery Space currently uses cookies

At the time of writing, The Recovery Space does not intentionally add optional third-party tracking tools such as:

• Google Analytics

• Google Tag Manager

• Meta Pixel / Facebook Pixel

• Hotjar

• Google Ads

• Google AdSense

• Google AdMob

We also do not currently use:

• embedded YouTube videos

• Google Maps

• external forms

• live social media feeds

• newsletter sign-up forms

• email-gated downloads

The Recovery Space may use essential cookies or similar technologies where needed for basic website functionality, security, page loading, fraud or misuse prevention, contact form protection, or remembering cookie preferences.

A simple social media icon or link may take visitors to an external social media page. This is different from embedding a live social media feed on the website. Once visitors leave The Recovery Space, the external website may use its own cookies and privacy settings.

​

Wix platform cookies

Because the website is built using Wix, some Wix platform cookies or similar technologies may be placed to support core website functions. These may include cookies for security, fraud detection, stability, site rendering, API protection, system reliability and basic website operation.

Wix explains that cookies initially placed on Wix websites are generally categorized as essential cookies. However, additional Wix apps, business solutions, custom code, third-party apps or third-party integrations may add other types of cookies that require their own settings or visitor consent.

​

Cookie banner and consent

The Recovery Space may use Wix Privacy & Cookies tools, including a cookie banner or consent banner, to help visitors manage cookie choices.

Wix cookie banner settings may include cookie categories such as Essential, Functional, Analytics and Marketing. Essential cookies are needed for basic website operation and cannot usually be switched off through the banner. Non-essential categories, such as Functional, Analytics and Marketing, should only be used where appropriate consent has been given.

Where a cookie banner is enabled, visitors may be able to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or manage cookie preferences by category. If optional analytics, functional, marketing or tracking tools are added in the future, visitors will be asked to manage their consent through the cookie banner or another appropriate consent tool where required.

If a cookie settings widget or similar option is enabled on the website, visitors may be able to reopen their cookie preferences and change their choices later.

​

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are cookies that may be needed for the website to work properly.

These may support things such as:

• website security

• fraud detection

• page loading

• basic website functionality

• site stability

• cookie preference settings

• contact form safety or anti-spam protection

• preventing errors or misuse

Essential cookies do not usually require visitor consent where they are strictly necessary for the website to function, but we still aim to be clear about their use.

​

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may help a website remember visitor choices or improve the experience of using certain features.

At the time of writing, The Recovery Space does not intentionally add optional functional tools beyond what may be needed for basic Wix website functionality or visitor cookie preferences. If functional tools are added in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated where needed.

​

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help website owners understand how visitors use a website, such as which pages are visited and how people move around the site.

At the time of writing, The Recovery Space does not intentionally add third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Hotjar.

Wix may provide website performance or analytics features as part of its platform. Where analytics cookies or non-essential analytics technologies are used, they should only be used in line with cookie banner choices and visitor consent where required.

If additional analytics tools are added in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and visitors will be given appropriate choices through the cookie banner or another consent tool where required.

​

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to track visitor activity for advertising, retargeting or personalised marketing.

At the time of writing, The Recovery Space does not intentionally use marketing cookies, advertising cookies, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, Google AdSense or Google AdMob.

If marketing or advertising tools are added in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated before or at the time those tools are used, and visitors will be given appropriate choices where required.
 

Custom code and third-party integrations

If custom code, third-party apps, business tools, embedded content or external integrations are added to the website in the future, they may use cookies or similar technologies.

Any custom code or third-party integration should be reviewed and categorized appropriately as Essential, Functional, Analytics or Marketing where required. This helps visitors understand what the technology does and whether consent is needed before it is used.
 

Contact forms

If The Recovery Space uses a contact form, it may use essential security, form-functionality or anti-spam technologies to help the form work safely.

Any personal information submitted through a contact form will be handled in line with our Privacy Policy.
 

External websites

The Recovery Space contains links to external websites, support organisations, charities, NHS pages, helplines, social media pages and other third-party services.

Once you leave The Recovery Space website, external websites may use their own cookies, tracking tools, privacy policies and cookie policies.

The Recovery Space is not responsible for the cookies, privacy practices, content or policies of external websites. Please check the cookie and privacy information on any external website you visit.
 

Changes to this Cookie Policy

The Recovery Space may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

This may happen if we add new website features, contact forms, newsletters, analytics, marketing tools, embedded content, online shop features, third-party apps, custom code or other integrations.

Any updates will be posted on this page with the updated date shown at the top.
