Cookie Policy

What cookies this website sets, what each one does, and how to turn them off.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember your settings between visits and let analytics and advertising providers recognise a browser across pages. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, and device identifiers — do comparable jobs and are covered by this policy too.

Categories we use

  • Strictly necessary — required for the site to function and to remember your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics — Google Analytics 4, used to understand which pages people find useful. Aggregate only; we do not use it to identify individuals.
  • Advertising — Google AdSense and its partners, used to serve and measure ads and, where permitted, to personalise them based on your browsing.

We do not use cookies to infer, record, or advertise against any health condition, and we do not build audience segments based on the treatment pages you view.

  • Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
  • Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in a supporting browser; we honour that signal as an opt-out.
