Cookie policy
This policy explains what cookies are, how 78 Dental uses them on this website, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your choices, and to help site owners understand how their site is used. Similar technologies such as pixels and tags do the same job, and we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
This website sets no cookies unless you accept them. The only thing we store on your device without asking is your cookie choice itself, and the only cookies that can be set are analytics cookies, which are set only if you accept them.
Strictly necessary storage
When you accept or reject cookies, we save that choice in your browser’s local storage so we do not ask again on every page. This is not a cookie and it is not sent to us or to anyone else. It is exempt from consent because without it we could not honour the choice you just made. Our fonts are served from our own site, and we embed no third-party video, maps or social widgets, so nothing else is stored before you choose.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how people move through it, so we can improve it. These cookies are set only if you accept them. If you reject, or simply ignore the banner, the Google Analytics script is never loaded at all and no analytics cookies are set.
Advertising cookies
We do not currently use any advertising or marketing cookies on this website. If that changes, we will update this policy and the consent banner before any such cookie is set.
3. The cookies we use
These are the only cookies this website can set, and both require your consent.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count visitors rather than visits. | 2 years |
| _ga_PC9Y6FJZTV | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps track of the current visit so a series of page views is counted as one session. | 2 years |
4. Your consent and how to change it
We show a cookie banner the first time you visit. Rejecting is one click, exactly like accepting, and no analytics cookies are set unless and until you accept.
- Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them.
- You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page.
- If you withdraw consent, we delete the analytics cookies listed above from your browser.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you see what cookies are stored and delete them, and block cookies from some or all websites. If you block essential cookies, please note that parts of the site may not work properly. Guidance for the main browsers is available on their own support pages.
