Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, improve performance, remember preferences, and provide information that can be used for analytics and marketing.

Why does Eye Surgery Clinic use cookies?

Eye Surgery Clinic uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to understand how visitors use the site (analytics), to improve pages and user experience, and—where you choose to allow it—to support relevant marketing and measurement.

What types of cookies are used on this website?

Websites typically use: (1) strictly necessary cookies (required for core functions), (2) preference/functional cookies (remember choices), (3) analytics/performance cookies (measure visits and improve the site), and (4) marketing cookies (help deliver and measure relevant ads). Availability depends on your consent settings.

How can I change or withdraw my cookie consent?

You can change or withdraw consent at any time by updating your cookie settings via the site’s cookie banner or settings link (if shown). You can also manage cookies in your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

How do I manage or block cookies in my browser?

Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, and control site-by-site permissions. Check your browser’s privacy settings (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) to manage cookie preferences. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality.

Will disabling cookies affect the website’s performance?

Yes. Disabling strictly necessary or functional cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly (for example, saving preferences). Disabling analytics and marketing cookies usually won’t stop core features, but it can reduce the ability to measure and improve the website experience.

Do you use third-party cookies?

Some cookies may be set by trusted third-party providers that support website functionality, analytics, or marketing measurement. These third parties may process data in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.

How can I contact Eye Surgery Clinic about cookies or privacy?

If you have questions about cookies or how your data is handled, contact Eye Surgery Clinic via the website contact options: https://www.eyesurgeryclinic.co.uk/contact

This Cookies Policy applies to visitors in the United Kingdom. For how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy (linked below).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help a site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, whether you’ve already seen certain messages, and how you navigate between pages.

On EyeSurgeryClinic.co.uk, cookies can help us:

Keep the website secure and functioning correctly
Understand which pages are most useful, so we can improve clarity and accessibility
Measure which appointment routes work best, so we can reduce friction for patients

We do not use cookies to make medical decisions. Cookies are about your website experience, not your clinical care.

UK legal context: We aim to comply with UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Where required, we ask for your consent before placing optional cookies (e.g., analytics or marketing).

Types of cookies we may use

Cookies can be categorised in different ways. Below are the common types you may encounter on healthcare and appointment-booking websites.

Essential (strictly necessary)

Used for core website functions such as page navigation, security, load balancing and consent management. Without these, the site may not work properly.

Analytics (performance)

Help us understand how visitors use pages (e.g., most visited content, common drop-off points) so we can improve clarity and accessibility. These are optional.

Marketing (advertising)

Used to measure campaign performance and, in some cases, show relevant ads. We treat these as optional and subject to consent where required.

Session vs persistent cookies

Session cookies last until you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until deleted. Both can be used for consent and preference storage.

First-party vs third-party

First-party cookies are set by EyeSurgeryClinic.co.uk. Third-party cookies are set by other services (for example, analytics providers) and may involve data sharing subject to your settings.

Cookie table (typical examples)

The specific cookies used can change as we improve the website or update providers. This table describes typical categories and examples you may see. If you need a current list for your device, please contact us using the form below.

Category	Purpose	Example (illustrative)	Typical retention	Essential?
Consent / preferences	Stores your cookie choices so we can respect them on future visits.	consent_state	Up to 12 months	Yes (functional)
Security	Helps protect forms and services from misuse and supports safe browsing.	security_token	Session to 30 days	Yes
Site performance	Measures page interactions so we can improve content, navigation and accessibility.	analytics_id	Up to 24 months	No (optional)
Marketing / measurement	Helps attribute enquiries to campaigns and measure effectiveness.	ad_campaign	Up to 90 days	No (optional)

Where third-party services are used, their cookies may be subject to their own policies. We recommend reviewing the provider’s documentation before consenting to optional categories.

How to control cookies

You can control cookies in two main ways: through our cookie banner (where available) and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

Check for our cookie banner.
If present, use it to accept or reject optional cookie categories. Your selection may be stored by an essential preference cookie.
Use your browser settings.
Most browsers let you delete existing cookies and block future cookies. Look for settings relating to “Privacy”, “Site data”, or “Cookies”.
Consider blocking third-party cookies.
Some browsers can block third-party cookies by default, reducing cross-site tracking while keeping many first-party functions.
Contact us if you need help.

Tip: Deleting cookies may sign you out of websites and reset preferences. If you’re comparing cataract surgery options or reading aftercare guidance, you may want to keep essential cookies enabled for a smoother experience.

Cookies FAQs

Do cookies store my medical information?

Cookies typically store technical identifiers and preferences, not clinical records. If you submit an enquiry, that information is handled through our secure systems and governed by our Privacy Policy.

Can I book an appointment if I reject optional cookies?

Yes. Essential cookies support basic site operation. Optional cookies are used for measurement and improvement rather than core booking access.

What happens if I block all cookies?

Some features may not work correctly (for example, remembering preferences). If you experience issues, allow essential cookies or try a different browser configuration.

How often is this policy updated?

We review our legal pages when we change providers, add new measurement tools, or update our compliance approach under UK GDPR/PECR. Check this page periodically for changes.
