What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to provide information to website operators.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot read information from your hard drive. They typically contain an anonymous identifier, the name of the website that issued them, and an expiry date.

This policy uses "cookies" as an umbrella term that also covers similar tracking technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage.

Third-party cookies.

Several of our service providers place their own cookies when you interact with their embedded content on our site. These are governed by each provider's own privacy and cookies policy:

We have no control over cookies set by third parties. Please refer to their policies for full details.

→ 05

Managing cookies.

You have several options for controlling cookies on our site and across the web.

Through our cookie banner

When you first visit our site, you are presented with a cookie consent banner where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. You can revisit these preferences at any time by clearing the cookie_consent cookie from your browser, which will trigger the banner again on your next visit.

Through your browser settings

All modern browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. The exact steps vary by browser:

LinkedIn advertising opt-out

You can opt out of LinkedIn's interest-based advertising directly through your LinkedIn account at linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. This is independent of our cookie banner.

Impact of disabling

Disabling essential cookies will prevent core features from working, including the registration form, consultation booking, and payment processing. Disabling analytical or targeting cookies will not affect site functionality.
