Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Blossom uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. We want you to understand what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use. This policy forms part of our broader commitment to transparency and protecting your privacy whilst you explore our prenatal and postnatal yoga coaching services.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember information about your visit, making it easier for you to navigate and enabling certain functionality. Cookies contain data about your browsing activity but do not typically identify you personally. They are widely used across the internet to improve user experience and provide website owners with insights into how their sites are being used.
How We Use Cookies
At Blossom, we use cookies to enhance your experience on our website and to better understand how visitors interact with our content. The cookies we use help us remember your preferences, understand which pages are most valuable to our visitors, and ensure that certain features of the site work properly. We do not use cookies to collect personal information beyond what is necessary for the functioning of our website and improving the services we offer to expecting mothers and new mums in Manchester.
Our website uses both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Session cookies help us manage your journey through the site during a single visit, whilst persistent cookies remember your preferences for future visits. This combination allows us to provide a seamless experience whether you're booking a prenatal coaching session or reading about our postnatal recovery workshops.
Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies on our website into several types based on their function. Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website, allowing you to navigate between pages and use fundamental features like accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, certain parts of our site would not function properly. Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter error messages. This data helps us identify areas for improvement and enhance the overall user experience.
Functionality cookies enable our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or the region you are in, providing a more personalised experience. These cookies may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size or other customisable parts of the website. The information these cookies collect is usually anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Third-Party Cookies
In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties. These might include analytics services that help us understand website traffic patterns and user behaviour. Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties rather than this Cookie Policy. We carefully select our third-party partners to ensure they maintain high standards of data protection and use cookies responsibly. These partnerships help us improve our services and ensure our website meets the needs of the women we support.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have control over the cookies placed on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. The process for managing cookies varies depending on the browser you use, but you can typically find cookie settings in the preferences or options menu of your browser. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to access certain features.
If you choose to disable cookies, you may still browse our website, but some interactive features may not work as intended. For instance, you might need to re-enter information that would otherwise have been saved, or certain preferences might not be remembered between visits. We respect your choice to control cookies whilst striving to provide the best possible experience for all visitors to our site.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make significant changes, we will update the effective date at the bottom of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of our website after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
