Where implemented and permitted, we may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand how visitors interact with our website.

These services may process information such as device information, browser information, website interactions and other usage data.

Where consent is required, these analytics technologies will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Information collected through third-party analytics services may be processed by the relevant provider in accordance with its own privacy practices.

We do not intend to use cookie technologies to intentionally disclose medical reports, medical photographs or detailed health information submitted for treatment assessment to advertising platforms.

Cookie and tracking technologies should be configured in a manner designed to minimise the collection and disclosure of sensitive information.

Information submitted through treatment enquiry forms is governed by our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements.

10. International Data Transfers

Some third-party cookie, analytics, advertising or technology providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you are located.

Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal data and is transferred internationally, such transfers will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

Where required, appropriate safeguards or legally recognised transfer mechanisms will be used.

For further information about international data transfers, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

11. How Long Are Cookies Stored?

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and type.

Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser, while others may remain on your device for a specified period.

We aim to retain cookies only for as long as reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.

Third-party cookies may have retention periods determined by the relevant third-party provider.

Where appropriate, specific cookie names, providers, purposes and durations may be displayed through our cookie consent or preference management tool.
