Cookie Policy
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Diet Expert Appointment website, what they are used for, and how you can control them in your browser.
What this covers
- Site function
- Strictly necessary cookies that keep the pages and their forms working while you use them.
- Visitor control
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser. The steps per browser are described further down.
- Questions
- Anything unclear about cookies on this site can be raised with the desk by phone or email.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. Each file holds a short piece of information and a name that ties it back to the site that set it.
When you return to a page, or move from one page to the next, the browser sends those files back to the site. That lets the site remember something between page loads. On a booking desk the useful memory is small and practical: whether your form was already filled in once, whether a session is still open, or which page you arrived from.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot run in the background, they do not access other files on your device, and they cannot do anything on their own. They only carry a value that the site reads back. Most of the cookies used here last only for the length of your visit and are removed when you close the browser.
Similar technologies — such as local storage — work in roughly the same way and follow the same rules set out in this policy. Where the wording below says cookie, it covers those as well.
Cookies we use, and what we do not use
The site runs on a deliberately short list. There is one group of cookies that the site needs in order to work, and one optional group that only applies if analytics are switched on.
Necessary
Required so the website and its forms can function. A session cookie keeps a form submission intact while you work through it, so nothing is lost if you go back a step or check a detail before sending.
Always active · removed when you close the browser
Analytics
If analytics are enabled, they are used only in aggregate: which pages get visited, roughly how long a visit lasts, and which links are followed. These figures describe pages rather than people, and they are not used to build a profile of you.
Optional · only set when analytics are switched on
Not used
This site does not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and cookie data is not sold. Nothing here follows you onto other websites or places advertising based on your visit.
No ad tracking · no data sold
If that changes, this policy will be updated before any such cookies are set. Until you see a different list published here, the three columns above describe the whole of what runs on this site.
Managing cookies
Every mainstream browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, block new ones, and delete the ones already stored. The setting lives in the privacy section of your browser preferences, and it applies to this site in the same way as any other.
If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site will stop behaving as intended. The most likely result is that a booking or contact form loses what you typed and asks you to start again, because the session that held your answers is no longer available.
What the two most common controls do
- Block for this site Stops the site from storing new cookies on your device. The page still loads, but a form may not remember your answers between steps.
- Delete stored cookies Clears cookies already saved, including any session left over from an earlier visit. Signing out or closing the browser does most of this on its own.
- Private browsing Opens a session that discards its cookies when the window closes, which is useful for a one-off visit or for checking a page without leaving anything behind.
If clearing cookies leaves a form half-finished, reloading the page gives you a clean start. Nothing you typed is kept anywhere else, so there is no recovery route and no record to chase.
Third parties
Some parts of the booking journey may be handled by an outside service rather than by this website. A scheduling tool that shows available consultation times, or an email service that sends a confirmation once a request is received, are the two likely examples.
When one of those tools appears on a page, it can set its own cookies in order to work. Those cookies belong to the provider, not to this site, and the provider's own privacy and cookie notices govern how the data they hold is handled.
This desk cannot read or delete cookies set by those providers — the browser settings you use for this site cover them too, and each provider's notice explains the rest.
How to think about it
A cookie belongs to whoever set it. If a scheduling widget or an email service appears on a page, that provider's notice — not this one — describes what its cookie does and how long it lasts. This policy covers the site itself and the cookies the desk controls directly.
Booking a consultation happens on the dedicated pages of this site. This cookie policy page is a reference document and does not collect appointment details.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be revised if the way the website uses cookies changes — for example if a new scheduling tool is added, if an analytics service is switched on or off, or if a cookie is retired. When that happens, the version published here is replaced and the date at the top of the page is updated.
The current version is always the one published on this page. There is no separate archive, so if you want to compare versions later, keep your own copy. The same cookie information is not repeated on the Privacy Policy, and that page covers a different subject: how personal data is handled once it is received.

Common questions about cookies on this site
Does this site use cookies at all?
Yes. The site relies on strictly necessary cookies so that the pages and their forms work correctly. A session cookie in particular keeps a form submission intact while you complete it. If analytics are enabled, they add an optional second group used only in aggregate.
Will blocking cookies break the booking process?
It can. Blocking strictly necessary cookies most often means a form loses what you typed between steps and asks you to start again. The pages themselves still open, but the session that carried your answers is no longer there. If that happens, all you need to do is reload the form and complete it in one sitting.
Do you sell or share cookie data?
No. Cookies set by this site are not sold and are not used to build advertising profiles. Third-party tools that may appear on a page, such as a scheduling or email service, set their own cookies and are covered by their own notices rather than by this policy.
How do I remove cookies that are already stored?
Open your browser's privacy settings and use the option to clear cookies and site data. You can clear everything or remove only this site. Closing the browser also ends most session cookies on its own, so a leftover session is rarely a concern on a later visit.
Is this the same as the Privacy Policy?
They cover different ground. This page explains the cookie files the site stores in your browser and how you can manage them. The Privacy Policy describes how personal data is handled once it reaches the practice, including information you send through a form or by email.
If your question is not answered here, the contact details above reach the practice during opening hours, and the desk will reply with a plain answer rather than a template.
