What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Emdr-consultation does not typically but may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons. These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that recognizes when someone has visited the website. This allows monitoring of traffic patterns of users from one page within the website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from online advertisement displayed on third party websites, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair this functioning as well.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local shared objects?

Emdr-consultation.com does not typically, but may at times also use so-called “flash cookies” to, long other things, collect and store information about the use of services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations. 

If you do not want flash cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your flash player to block flash cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control flash cookies by going to the Global storage settings panel and following instructions which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing flash cookies, referred to “information” o  how to prevent flash LSO’s from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and for flash player 8 and later, how to block flash cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time. 

Please note that setting the flash player to restrict or limit acceptance of flash cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with the website or online content.
