Cookie Policy

The Breathing Space Project is responsible for the use of cookies and similar technologies on this website.

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on a device.

Websites may also use similar technologies, including:

• Local storage
• Scripts
• Tags
• Pixels
• Embedded content
• Device-storage tools
• Other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a device

For simplicity, this page refers to these collectively as “cookies and similar technologies”.

Some are essential for the website to work. Others are optional and require a visitor’s choice before they are activated.

Essential technologies are used where necessary to:

• Provide the website or a feature requested by the visitor
• Protect the website and forms
• Maintain security
• Remember cookie choices
• Support essential page functions
• Prevent misuse or fraudulent activity

Where these technologies are strictly necessary, they do not require consent. They may still recognise a browser or device or remember a preference, even if they do not directly contain a person’s name.

Visitors may be able to block essential cookies through their browser settings, but doing so may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.

We do not currently use optional analytics cookies or technologies. If this changes, we will update this policy and request consent where required.

The Breathing Space Project does not currently intend to use advertising networks, retargeting pixels or third-party behavioural advertising on this website.

We do not sell personal information collected through the website.

Some pages may contain content or tools supplied by third parties, such as videos, booking tools, payment tools, forms, maps, social-media content, chat tools, captcha or security services, newsletter signup tools, external fonts or other interactive features.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies and may receive information such as an IP address, browser details or page interaction information.

Where consent is required, third-party content will not load until you choose to allow the relevant cookie category. Where practical we use privacy-enhanced embedding, click-to-load placeholders, consent-controlled scripts, locally hosted resources or other privacy-conscious configurations.

Linking to a third party’s own policy does not remove our responsibility for the technologies placed on this website. The providers we use are listed in the tables below.

When this page was written, the website used only essential technologies. No cookies were set, and the only item stored on your device is the record of your cookie choice.

No analytics, advertising, booking, payment, video, map, chat or captcha provider is connected to this website at present.

The cookie banner offers three clear options:

• Accept optional cookies
• Reject optional cookies
• Cookie settings

Accepting and rejecting are equally easy to find, shown at the same stage and written in equally clear language. Optional cookies are switched off by default and no optional category is pre-ticked.

Continuing to browse, scrolling or closing the banner is not treated as consent. Your choice is recorded only after you actively make one.

You can review or change your cookie choices at any time.

Cookie preferences

Changing a preference updates the stored consent record, prevents newly rejected optional technologies from loading, disables optional cookies where technically possible, and applies across the website.

You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential technologies may cause parts of the website to stop working correctly.

We remember your cookie choice for a limited period so that we do not ask you on every page.

We may ask you to make a new choice if:

• The consent record expires
• Our use of cookies changes
• A new optional provider is introduced
• The policy changes significantly
• You clear your browser data
• A technical change means the previous preference can no longer be recognised

Cookie-consent duration: 180 days, after which the stored record expires and you are asked again.

Some third-party providers may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area.

Where international data-transfer rules apply, an appropriate transfer mechanism must be used. This may include an adequacy decision, approved contractual safeguards, European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, or another mechanism permitted by applicable law. The exact arrangements depend on the provider and processing location.

Further information may be requested by emailing hello@thebreathingspaceproject.com.

Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information.

More information about how The Breathing Space Project handles personal information, including data-protection rights, is available in our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

• Website tools change
• New providers are added
• Existing providers are removed
• Cookie durations change
• The purposes for which technologies are used change
• Legal or regulatory responsibilities change

When changes are made, we will update the date at the top of this page. Where a change affects optional cookies or the meaning of an existing choice, visitors may be asked to provide consent again.

This page provides a public summary of how The Breathing Space Project uses cookies and similar technologies. It is written in plain language for parents, carers, educators and website visitors.

It is not legal advice, an independent certification or an external cookie audit.
