Cookies Policy (UK)
This Cookies Policy explains how Macro Healthcare Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, and how you can manage them.
Cookies are governed primarily by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and data protection rules under the UK GDPR. The ICO’s guidance emphasises that users should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies easily. ICO
- What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, SDKs, and local storage.
- Types of cookies we may use
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the website to function (e.g., security, load balancing, cookie preference storage). These do not require consent under PECR where they are strictly necessary. ICO
2.2 Functional cookies
These help remember your settings and improve usability (e.g., language preference).
2.3 Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g., page views, journey paths), so we can improve performance and content.
2.4 Marketing cookies (if used)
These track browsing habits to deliver relevant ads or measure advertising performance.
- Cookie consent and controls
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie notice/banner where you can:
- Accept all cookies,
- Reject non-essential cookies, or
- Manage your preferences by category.
The ICO makes clear that consent must be a clear, deliberate choice; simply continuing to use a website is not sufficient for consent for non-essential cookies. ICO
- How to change your cookie preferences
You can change cookie preferences at any time by:
- Using the “Cookie Settings” link on our website (where available), and/or
- Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may impact website functionality.
- Cookies we use (cookie list)
We aim to keep a cookie list available and up to date. Because cookies depend on the features enabled on the site, the exact cookies may change.
Template cookie table (populate with your actual cookies):
- Cookie name
- Provider (first/third party)
- Purpose
- Category (necessary/functional/analytics/marketing)
- Duration
If you use third-party tools (e.g., analytics platforms), their cookies may be set according to their own policies. You should list those providers in the table once confirmed.
- Legislative note (PECR and updates)
The UK government has implemented reforms affecting privacy and electronic communications law through the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, including changes related to PECR. We continue to take a conservative approach by seeking consent for non-essential cookies unless an applicable exemption clearly applies and is implemented transparently.
