Last updated: May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Gerry McGrann Physiotherapy uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, in accordance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners.
Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags, and web beacons, which may work in a comparable way.
2. What Cookies Does This Site Use?
This website is a static informational site. We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies. The only cookies or similar technologies present are:
| Cookie / Technology | Type | Purpose | Duration | Consent required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local storage (`gmp_cookie_consent_v1`) | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie-consent preferences so your choice is remembered and the banner does not reappear on every page load | Persistent (until cleared by you, or replaced if the consent version changes) | No — exempt under PECR |
| Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) | Third-party functional | Loads web fonts used for the site's typography from Google's CDN. Google may log the request including your IP address per their privacy policy. | Up to 1 year (browser cache) | Low risk; no tracking cookie set by fonts API |
We do not use:
- Analytics or performance cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Any cookies that profile you or track you across other websites
3. Third-Party Links and Embeds
This website contains links to third-party services, including Google Maps and Google Reviews. When you click these links, you will be taken to Google's platform, which operates under its own privacy and cookie policies. We have no control over cookies set by Google.
For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Cookie Policy.
4. Your Consent and Legal Basis Under PECR
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR):
- Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. They are exempt because they are essential for the website to function.
- Non-essential cookies (such as analytics or advertising) require your prior, informed, freely given and specific consent before they are set. We do not currently use non-essential cookies.
If we introduce any non-essential cookies or third-party tracking in future, we will implement an appropriate consent mechanism before doing so and update this policy accordingly.
5. Managing and Deleting Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Block all or certain types of cookie
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
- Set preferences per website
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the website from working correctly. Blocking third-party cookies will not affect your use of this site as we do not rely on them for core functionality.
For general guidance on cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org or the ICO's cookie guidance.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in legislation, or ICO guidance. The most current version will always be available on this page, with the date of last update shown at the top. We recommend checking periodically.
