Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work properly, to remember your preferences, and to help website owners understand how their sites are used.

Some cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (“first-party” cookies), while others are set by third-party services that the website includes, such as Google Maps (“third-party” cookies).

We keep things deliberately simple. This website uses only three categories of cookies, and only one of them is essential:

• Necessary— always active; the website cannot work without them.
• Analytics— on by default; help us understand how the site is used. Decline to disable.
• Functional— on by default; power third-party features such as our embedded practice map. Decline to disable.

You can opt out at any time using the Reject button in our cookie banner or the toggles in Cookie Settings. Opting out will not stop you browsing the site, reading about treatments or contacting the practice.

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. The only cookie set directly by this website is:

No other first-party cookies — and no advertising or personalisation cookies — are created by this website's own code.

With your permission, we use Google Tag Manager to help us understand how visitors find and use this website — for example which pages are most popular, or whether our contact forms are working well.

Analytics is enabled by default, so Google Tag Manager loads when you browse the site. If you select Reject, or turn the Analytics category off in Cookie Settings, Google Tag Manager stops being loaded and no further analytics cookies are set on pages you view afterwards.

When allowed, these services may set cookies such as _ga and _gid (Google Analytics), which typically last up to 24 months and help distinguish visitors on an anonymous basis.

We embed Google Maps in two places on this website: the location section of our homepage and the map shown in the site footer. These make it easy to find the practice, but they are a convenience rather than an essential feature.

The maps load by default. If you decline functional cookies, they are replaced by a simple placeholder showing our practice details, with a button to re-enable the map if you change your mind. Our address, phone numbers and opening hours remain fully visible either way.

If you enable functional cookies, Google may set its own cookies (such as NID) when the map loads. You can read more on Google's cookie page.

You can review or change your choices at any time using the button below. Changes apply immediately across the website:

If you withdraw consent for a category, the related service stops being loaded on pages you view afterwards. Deleting the lpdg_cookie_consent cookie in your browser also removes your saved preferences, and the cookie banner will simply ask you again on your next visit.

As well as using our tools, most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu.

For details of how we handle personal information generally — including enquiry forms and email — please see our Privacy Policy.

You can also find guidance about cookies and your rights on the Information Commissioner's Office website at ico.org.uk.
