Cookie Policy

What cookies we use, why, and how to control them.

Last updated: 10 July 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember what you did, such as what is in your basket or whether you are logged in. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels; where we say “cookies” in this policy, we mean all of them.

2. The law

We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR. We set strictly necessary cookies automatically, because the site cannot work without them. For every other category we ask for your consent first, and you can change your mind at any time.

3. The cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function. These cannot be switched off.

Analytics

Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These tell us which pages are visited and where people run into problems. Set only with your consent.

Marketing

Used to measure and improve advertising. Set only with your consent.

We never use your health information, your consultation answers, or the fact that you bought a particular medicine, for advertising or targeting.

4. Managing your cookies

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of this site.

You can also control cookies in your browser, and delete cookies already stored. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the site, such as the basket and checkout, from working. Guidance for each browser:

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties, such as our payment provider. We do not control those cookies, and you should read the relevant provider’s own privacy and cookie notices.

6. Changes

We may update this policy as the cookies we use change. Please check back from time to time.
