What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.
They can be used for essential website functions, security, remembering choices, maintaining sessions and, where enabled, understanding how visitors use a website.
How Inner Thought Group may use cookies
The cookies and similar technologies used on Inner Thought Group may fall into the following categories.
Essential cookies
These may be required for core website functions, security, session handling, remembering consent choices or enabling important features.
Preference cookies
These may remember choices you make so the site can provide a more consistent or convenient experience.
Analytics cookies
If analytics services are enabled, these may help us understand which pages are visited, how people use the site and where the experience could be improved.
Marketing or advertising cookies
Inner Thought Group may introduce advertising or marketing technologies in the future. If this happens, relevant cookies will be subject to applicable consent requirements.
Assessment and report sessions
Inner Thought Group may use cookies, session storage or similar browser technologies where necessary to support the assessment experience, maintain session state, remember temporary progress or display the correct report or payment status.
These technologies are intended to support the functioning of the assessment system and are not used to store your complete personalised report inside a browser cookie.
Payment services
Where you choose to purchase a personalised report, payment may be processed through Stripe.
Stripe operates its own hosted payment environment and may use cookies or similar technologies for payment processing, security, fraud prevention and related functions when you interact with its services.
Stripe’s use of cookies and related technologies is governed by its own policies and controls.
Artificial intelligence services
Inner Thought Group may use OpenAI services to assist with personalised report wording. This processing is performed server-side and does not require you to interact directly with OpenAI through a browser cookie on the assessment page.
Third-party services
Some parts of Inner Thought Group may rely on services provided by third parties.
Depending on which services are active, these may include payment processors, website hosting, security services, email delivery, analytics or embedded content.
Third-party providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies when their services are loaded or used. Where required, non-essential third-party technologies will be subject to consent controls.
Our approach
We aim to use only cookies and similar technologies that are reasonably necessary to operate, protect, understand and improve Inner Thought Group.
Cookie consent
Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential cookies and similar technologies should not be activated until the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Where a cookie-consent tool is available, you may be able to accept, reject or manage different categories of cookies through that tool.
Managing cookies through your browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their settings.
Blocking essential cookies or browser storage may affect how some parts of Inner Thought Group work, including assessments, payment sessions or saved preferences.
Similar technologies
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may use technologies such as local storage, session storage, browser identifiers or similar methods. Where appropriate, references to cookies in this policy include comparable technologies used for similar purposes.
How long cookies remain
Some cookies are temporary and disappear when you close your browser. Others may remain for a defined period so that a preference or function can be remembered between visits.
The exact duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service that sets it.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when website features, service providers, analytics, advertising technologies or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
