This page explains what cookies are set when you visit elstreeurgentcare.co.uk, what they do, and how you can control them. Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They’re used to remember preferences and, with your consent, to measure how visitors use the site. Some are strictly necessary to deliver basic functionality; others only run if you agree.
2. Cookies we use
Essential (always on)
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| eu-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie choice (accepted / rejected) so the banner doesn’t reappear on every page. | Stored in localStorage. Persists until you clear browser data or revoke below. |
Analytics (only if you accept)
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — session state for this property. | 2 years |
Analytics cookies only run if you accept via the banner. We use Google Consent Mode v2— before consent is granted, Google Analytics does not set any identifying cookies; basic anonymous pings may be sent to measure aggregate traffic, but no personal data is stored.

- Advertising cookies

- Any cross-site tracking
4. Your choices
