Cookie Policy

When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies.

These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:

  • Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
  • Recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
  • Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast

Google Analytics:
We use Google Analytics to measure general visitor metrics for our website – these cookies can be turned off using our cookie consent pop up when first visiting the site. Your general cookie preferences for our website can be changed at any time using the ever present cookie button at the bottom left of a web page.

YouTube Videos:
We use services from YouTube to show you embedded health related videos on our website. We embed YouTube videos using YouTube’s ‘No-Cookie‘ privacy-enhanced mode.

Note: If you visit a page containing a YouTube video and are already logged in to a YouTube or Google account, Google may then use additional cookies for security purposes, to remember your preferences, and receive information about the videos you watch for analytics and advertising purposes and collect data linked to your Google account.
