Cookie Notice
Last updated: April 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how the International Sophrology Federation Ltd (“ISF”, “we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website https://sophrologyinternational.org/.
We use cookies to ensure our website functions properly, to support secure member login, and—where consent is given—to understand how visitors use our site.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies may be set directly by our website (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services we use (“third-party cookies”).
2. Types of cookies we use
A. Essential cookies (strictly necessary)
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store personally identifiable information.
They include:
-
WordPress core cookies — enable basic site functions and security.
-
WP-Membership session cookies — allow members to log in and maintain secure sessions.
-
Gravity Forms cookies — support form submissions and prevent spam.
-
Complianz consent cookies — store your cookie preferences.
-
Server-side logs (WP Engine) — record IP addresses and technical data for security and troubleshooting (not a cookie, but required to disclose).
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (site functionality and security).
B. Functional cookies
These support enhanced features but are not strictly required.
At present, ISF does not use additional functional cookies beyond those listed above.
C. Analytics and performance cookies (non-essential)
Our website includes a Google Tag (GTAG), which has the capability to enable analytics.
However, Google Analytics is not currently active, and no analytics cookies are set unless this changes.
If analytics are activated in the future, they will only run with your consent, and this notice will be updated.
Legal basis: Consent.
D. Third-party cookies
Some of our tools may set cookies if you interact with them, such as:
-
Embedded Zoom links
-
Embedded forms routed through Brevo (if used)
These cookies will only load if necessary for the function you are using.
3. Cookies currently detected on our site
The list of cookies in use may change as plugins update.
Our cookie management tool (Complianz) automatically scans and categorises cookies and displays the most up-to-date list in the cookie banner and cookie settings panel.
You can view the full list at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” on our website.
4. How you can manage cookies
You can control your cookie preferences in several ways:
-
Cookie banner: When you first visit our site, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
-
Cookie settings panel: You can change your preferences at any time by selecting “Cookie Settings” on our website.
-
Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies.
-
Opt-out tools: If analytics are activated in future, Google provides additional opt-out options.
Rejecting non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.
5. Server logs and security
Our hosting provider (WP Engine) automatically collects:
-
IP address
-
Browser type
-
Pages visited
-
Date and time of access
These logs are used solely for security, performance, and troubleshooting. They are retained for a short period (typically 30–60 days) and are not used for marketing or analytics.
6. Changes to this Cookie Notice
We may update this notice from time to time, especially if we activate analytics or add new website features. The latest version will always be available on this page.
