1. Introduction and Legal Framework
This Cookie Policy explains how Clearyouthar uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended, and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we must obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent but are described below for transparency.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
