Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how Infrared-Light-Therapy.com collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or interact with this website.

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com is owned and edited by Meital James, based in Israel.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

The information collected depends on how you interact with the website.

Information You Provide

Contact Form

If you contact me through the website’s contact form, you may provide:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your message

This information is used to respond to your inquiry and, when reasonably necessary, to maintain a record of the communication.

I do not currently operate a newsletter or email marketing list through this website.

Comments

If you leave a comment on a post, information you provide may include your name, email address, optional website address, and the content of your comment.

WordPress may also process technical information such as your IP address and browser user-agent information for purposes such as spam detection, moderation, and website security.

Your email address is not displayed publicly with your comment.

Analytics and Usage Information

The website currently uses Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its content, usability, and performance.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is implemented through Google’s Site Kit plugin.

Depending on your location and the website’s current privacy settings, Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Page views and website interactions
• Session statistics
• Approximate geographic location
• Browser and device information
• Referring pages or traffic sources

Google Analytics may use a first-party cookie such as _ga to distinguish users and sessions where analytics storage is permitted.

Visitors From the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com does not currently provide a cookie-consent banner.

Google Site Kit is configured with Consent Mode disabled. Under the current Site Kit configuration, Google Analytics tracking is blocked for visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

As a result, visitors from these regions are not included in the site’s standard Google Analytics tracking.

If this configuration changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

Microsoft Clarity

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com also uses Microsoft Clarity to better understand how visitors interact with the website.

Clarity can provide information such as page interactions, clicks, scrolling behavior, heatmaps, and session-related usage information.

Microsoft Clarity’s cookie setting is currently disabled on this website.

This means Clarity is configured not to place its normal analytics cookies unless appropriate consent is available. Clarity may still perform limited measurement without cookies, but cookie-based identification and normal cross-session tracking are not enabled under the current configuration.

Information collected through Microsoft Clarity is used to identify usability problems, understand how visitors navigate the website, and improve the reader experience.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small pieces of data that websites and online services may store in a visitor’s browser.

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com does not currently display a cookie-consent banner.

The website may nevertheless use or encounter several types of cookies or similar technologies depending on the visitor’s location and interaction with the site.

Essential and Functional Technologies

WordPress, hosting infrastructure, security services, or other essential website components may use technologies necessary for website operation, security, administration, or functionality.

Analytics

Google Analytics may use analytics cookies where permitted under the site’s current regional configuration.

As explained above, Google Analytics tracking through Site Kit is currently blocked for visitors from the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

Microsoft Clarity cookies are currently disabled.

Third-Party and Embedded Content

Some pages may contain embedded content from third-party services, including YouTube videos.

Embedded content can behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Depending on the service, your browser settings, and whether you interact with the content, the third party may receive technical information or use its own cookies or similar technologies.

Those services operate under their own privacy policies and are not controlled by Infrared-Light-Therapy.com.

You can control or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies or third-party content may affect the way some website features work.

Affiliate Links and Referral Tracking

Some links on Infrared-Light-Therapy.com are affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link, you may be redirected to a retailer, manufacturer, or affiliate partner. That third party may use cookies or other tracking technologies to recognize that you were referred by this website and to determine whether a qualifying purchase was made.

These technologies are controlled by the third-party retailer or affiliate network and are subject to its own privacy and cookie policies.

Affiliate relationships do not give Infrared-Light-Therapy.com access to sensitive payment information such as your full credit card details.

For more information, please read the Affiliate Disclosure.

How Information Is Used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

• Operate and maintain the website
• Respond to questions and messages
• Moderate comments and reduce spam
• Understand how readers use the website
• Improve content, navigation, usability, and performance
• Detect technical or security problems
• Maintain appropriate business and administrative records
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations where applicable

I do not currently use information submitted through the contact form or comments to add visitors to an email marketing list.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar privacy laws apply, the legal basis for processing depends on the type of information and the reason it is being processed.

For example, information you voluntarily submit through the contact form may be processed in order to respond to your request.

Certain processing may also be based on legitimate interests, including operating and securing the website, responding to readers, preventing spam and abuse, and improving website content and functionality, provided those interests do not override your applicable privacy rights.

Where applicable law requires consent before the use of a non-essential technology, that technology should not be activated for that visitor without the required consent.

Sharing of Information

I do not knowingly sell personal information for monetary payment.

Information may be processed by third-party service providers when necessary to operate or analyze the website.

These may include services provided by:

• Google, including Google Analytics and YouTube
• Microsoft, through Microsoft Clarity
• Website hosting and technical service providers
• WordPress-related services
• Affiliate networks and retailers after you click an affiliate link

These companies have their own privacy practices and may process information according to their respective privacy policies and applicable legal requirements.

International Data Processing

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com is operated from Israel and uses service providers that may process information in other countries, including the United States.

As a result, information may be processed outside the country in which you live.

Third-party providers are responsible for the safeguards and legal mechanisms applicable to data they process through their services.

Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate administrative or security needs, or applicable legal requirements.

Contact messages may be retained for as long as necessary to respond to the inquiry and maintain appropriate records.

Comments may remain on the website unless they are removed or deletion is requested where applicable.

Analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention practices of the relevant analytics service.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion in certain circumstances, restriction or objection to certain processing, or withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a privacy-related request, please use the Contact page.

I may need enough information to verify and process a request appropriately.

Browser Privacy Controls

You can configure your browser to block, limit, or delete cookies.

You may also use privacy features or browser extensions to limit analytics and third-party tracking.

Disabling cookies or third-party content may affect some website functionality.

Third-Party Websites

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com contains links to websites operated by other companies and organizations.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or data-handling practices of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policy of any third-party website you choose to visit.

Children’s Privacy

Infrared-Light-Therapy.com is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

I do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through this website.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact me so that the situation can be reviewed and the information removed where appropriate.

Data Security

Reasonable technical and administrative measures are used to help protect information processed through the website.

However, no website, online service, or method of electronic transmission can guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy & Cookie Policy may be updated when website functionality, analytics services, privacy practices, or applicable requirements change.

When material changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised.
