Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function safely. They cannot be switched off in our systems as they are required for security and data protection.

• session_key: This is a security-critical cookie used to encrypt data submitted via our online forms. It ensures that any information you send to the practice is protected from interception.
• Consent Preference: We store a small file locally on your device to remember whether you have accepted or declined our optional analytics.

Analytics & Service Improvement

With your permission, we use anonymized analytics tools (PostHog) to understand how patients navigate our site. This helps us identify broken links and ensure that important health information is easy to find.

To protect your privacy as a patient:

• Masking: All text on the screen and information typed into forms is "masked" (hidden) before being processed. We never see personal health information.
• IP Anonymization: We do not store your IP address. Your visit is entirely anonymous.
• Data Location: All analytics data is stored on secure servers located within the EU.

How to manage your cookies

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cache and cookies. This will cause the cookie banner to re-appear, allowing you to make a new selection.

Alternatively, you can adjust your browser settings to block all cookies, but please note that this may prevent some security features (like our encrypted forms) from working correctly.

External Services

We may link to external services such as NHS UK, Patient Access, or AccuRx. These websites have their own cookie policies which we recommend you review when visiting them.
