    How we use cookies and similar technologies on our website

    Last updated: 26 August 2026

    What are cookies?

    Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

    We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and improve our services. This policy explains what cookies we use and why.

    Types of cookies we use

    Essential cookies

    These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

    Analytics cookies

    These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website and services.

    Functional cookies

    These cookies enable the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.

    Marketing cookies

    These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

    Managing your cookie preferences

    Cookie banner

    When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can choose to accept or decline these cookies.

    Browser settings

    You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

    • • View what cookies are stored on your device
    • • Delete all cookies or specific cookies
    • • Block cookies from specific websites
    • • Block all cookies
    • • Get notifications when cookies are set

    Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.

    Third-party cookies

    Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that we use to enhance your experience. These may include:

    • • Google Analytics for website analytics (analytics cookies)
    • • Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to measure and improve our adverts (marketing cookies)
    • • Payment processors for secure transactions
    • • Customer support chat services

    The Meta cookies only load if you accept marketing cookies. They tell Meta which pages you viewed and what you bought, so we can see which adverts work. We also send the same purchase information from our servers, matched using scrambled (hashed) contact details, because browsers often block the cookie version. We never send your symptom answers, blood results or any other health information to Meta or to Google.

    These third parties have their own cookie policies, and we recommend reviewing them to understand how they use cookies. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

    Updates to this policy

    We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our use of cookies. Please check this page regularly for any updates.
