Cookie Policy

About this policy

This policy explains how mediccaredirect.co.uk uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used, and we only use those if you agree.

Essential cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to work and to remember your cookie choices. They do not need your consent.

If you choose Accept analytics, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are visited most, so we can improve it. These cookies are not set unless you opt in, and IP addresses are anonymised.

Content from other websites

Some features load content from other organisations, which may set their own cookies:

Google Maps: the map on our contact pages only loads when you press Show map. Until then, no connection is made to Google.
Care Quality Commission (CQC): the CQC registration widget in our footer is loaded from cqc.org.uk.
Links to Google reviews and social media open those websites, which have their own cookie policies.

Changing your choice

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; if you block essential cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly.
