Last updated: 16th November 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Simply Being (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website https://simplybeing.co.uk (the “Site”).

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes, including:

  • Functionality: To ensure our website runs correctly.
  • Security: To help secure the website and protect it from malicious activity.
  • Performance: To help us understand how visitors use our site, so we can improve it.
  • Analytics: To gather anonymous data about our website traffic and user behavior.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website.

  • First-party cookies are set directly by our website (e.g., cookies set by WordPress).
  • Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. These are set by our service providers, such as Google and Cloudflare.

The specific services we use that set cookies include:

  1. WordPress: As our content management system, WordPress may set cookies to manage user sessions and store certain preferences (for example, if you leave a comment). These are often functional cookies.
  2. Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare for website security and performance. Cloudflare may place cookies on your device to identify trusted web traffic, distinguish between humans and bots, and speed up page load times. These are often classified as “strictly necessary” as they are essential for security and site delivery.
  3. Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our Site. This service uses cookies to gather anonymous data, such as the number of visitors to the Site, the pages they visited, and where they came from. We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve the Site.
  4. Google Tag Manager: This is a tool that helps us manage the various tracking scripts and “tags” used on our website (such as the Google Analytics script). Google Tag Manager does not set many cookies itself but is the tool used to deploy other cookies, like those for analytics.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through your web browser.

  • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that if you block all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to access all or parts of our Site.
  • Opt-Out Links: You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

You can find more information about how to manage and delete cookies at www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our cookie practices.
