This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how GlobMedTrust uses them, and your choices regarding cookies. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to ensure basic website functionality, remember your cookie preferences, understand how visitors interact with our site, and improve our services. We only place non-essential cookies with your explicit consent, in compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.

| Essential (local storage) | GlobMedTrust | First-party visit measurement and referral attribution: we store a random session identifier for every visit, and — if you arrive through a partner link — the referring partner's reference, so that page views and contact actions (WhatsApp, phone, email, enquiry, booking widget) can be counted and a later booking credited to the correct partner.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner allows you to choose which categories of cookies to accept. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting our site. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality. The session and referral attribution data stored in your browser can be removed by clearing your browser's site data; it also expires automatically after 90 days.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services (Google Analytics, PostHog, PayPal, Calendly). These cookies are governed by the respective third party's cookie and privacy policies. We do not control these cookies. For more information, refer to: Google's Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy), PostHog's Privacy Policy (posthog.com/privacy), PayPal's Privacy Statement (paypal.com/privacy), Calendly's Privacy Notice (calendly.com/privacy).
6. Data Collected via Cookies
Cookies may collect: your IP address (anonymised where possible), browser type and version, operating system, pages visited and time spent, referring URL, and country/region. This data is used solely for the purposes described above and is never sold to third parties. Alongside this we store a random first-party session identifier and record page views and contact actions (WhatsApp, telephone, email, enquiry submission, booking widget), and — where you arrive via a referral partner link — the partner reference. These records never contain your name, contact details, message content or any health information.
7. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to: withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time, request information about cookies placed on your device, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated. Under the CCPA/CPRA, you have the right to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information collected through cookies (we do not sell personal data).
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
