Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This cookie policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on drdaveheath.com, why they are used, and how you can control them. It sits alongside the Privacy Policy, which sets out how personal data is handled more generally.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device, usually to make the site work, remember your preferences, or help the site owner understand how the site is being used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, do related things and are treated the same way under UK rules on cookies and electronic communications.

Cookies can contain identifiers that count as personal data, which is why they are subject to data protection and privacy law. Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) and some are set by third parties whose services are used on the page, such as analytics or embedded content.

How this Website uses cookies

Cookies on this Website fall into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the Website to work properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. These cannot be switched off and do not require your consent.

Analytics cookies. These help me understand how visitors use the Website, which pages are most popular, and where traffic comes from. The information is used in aggregate to improve the site. Google Analytics is currently used for this purpose.

Functionality cookies. These remember choices you make, for example to provide a smoother experience when you return to the Website.

Marketing cookies. If a marketing or advertising integration is in use, cookies from those platforms may be set to help measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Where used, these platforms may include Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, and YouTube. Nothing is set without your consent.

All non-essential cookies are only set after you have given consent through the cookie banner that appears when you first visit the Website.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on this Website are set by third parties:

Google Analytics sets cookies to measure website traffic and visitor behaviour. Google's privacy notice is at policies.google.com/privacy.

Webflow, the hosting platform, may set cookies related to site performance and security.

Cal.com, or the scheduling tool currently in use, may set cookies on its booking pages.

CookieYes powers the cookie consent banner and records your preferences. CookieYes's privacy notice is at cookieyes.com.

I do not control these third-party cookies, and each provider's own privacy and cookie policies apply to their services.

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit the Website you will be presented with a cookie consent banner, powered by CookieYes. You can accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. Rejecting non-essential cookies is just as easy as accepting them.

You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie preferences link on the Website. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, view what is stored, and set rules for specific sites. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Website functions.

For general guidance on managing cookies, the Information Commissioner's Office has useful information at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

I may update this cookie policy from time to time, for example when a service provider changes or a new tool is added. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised.
