Cookie Policy
We keep cookies to a minimum. Here is exactly what this website stores in your browser and why.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) we may use those that are strictly necessary without consent, but must ask before using any others.
Visiting the website
If you are simply browsing eyemed.uk or sending us an enquiry, we do not set any advertising, tracking or analytics cookies. The site does not use third-party marketing pixels, social media trackers or embedded content that sets cookies.
Our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare, may set a strictly necessary security cookie (for example __cf_bm) to distinguish genuine visitors from automated traffic. It contains no personal profile and expires within 30 minutes.
Content team sign-in
Authorised staff who sign in to edit the website have their session kept in browser storage so they stay signed in securely. This is strictly necessary for the service they have asked for and is removed when they sign out.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-…-auth-token | Local storage | Keeps content team members signed in | Until sign-out |
sidebar:state | Cookie | Remembers whether the editing sidebar is open | 7 days |
__cf_bm | Cookie (Cloudflare) | Bot protection and security | 30 minutes |
Analytics
We may introduce privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are useful. Plausible Analytics is cookieless and does not collect personal data. If we add any service that uses cookies, such as Google Analytics, it will only run after you give consent, and this policy will be updated first.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working, such as content team sign-in. Guidance is available at ico.org.uk.
For more on how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Statement, or email hello@eyemed.uk.
