Cookies Policy
Last updated:
This Cookies Policy explains how SpineShift (Shouldersvital) uses cookies and similar technologies on shouldersvital.world when you browse information about our healthy back in the office programmes or submit an enquiry.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, understand how pages are used, and support security. Similar technologies include local storage used for consent records.
2. Who Sets Cookies?
First-party cookies are set by shouldersvital.ddd. Third-party cookies may be set by services we embed, such as Google Maps on our contact page, or by content delivery networks that load fonts and icon libraries. Those providers have their own policies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for core site functions such as load balancing, security, and remembering your cookie consent choice. These cannot be disabled through our banner without affecting functionality.
- Functional cookies: remember preferences such as dismissed notices to improve your experience on return visits.
- Analytics cookies: where enabled with your consent, help us understand which programme pages are most viewed and how visitors navigate between desk-programs and contact content, so we can improve clarity for UK employers.
- Embedded content cookies: Google Maps may set cookies when you interact with the map on our contact page to display location information for our Hatton Garden office.
4. Consent
When you first visit shouldersvital.world, a banner invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in local storage under the key spineshift_consent. You may change your mind by clearing browser storage or contacting us. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under UK rules but we explain them here for transparency.
5. Cookie Duration
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period: consent preferences typically persist for twelve months unless you clear them. Third-party retention periods are governed by those providers.
6. Examples of Cookies and Storage
The following table describes key technologies we use or may use with consent:
- spineshift_consent (local storage): stores whether you accepted the cookie notice. Duration: until cleared. Purpose: legal compliance and user preference.
- Session identifiers: may be issued by our host for security. Duration: session. Purpose: secure delivery of pages.
- Google Maps embedded iframe: may use cookies such as NID when you use map features. Refer to policies.google.com for details.
7. How to Manage Cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice and could affect embedded map display. For guidance, visit your browser help pages or aboutcookies.org.
8. Do Not Track
Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals in a uniform way because industry standards vary. You may still control cookies through browser settings and our consent banner.
9. Updates
We may update this Cookies Policy when we add features to our programme booking journey or change analytics tools. Check the date above for the latest version.
