Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Monkspath Pharmacy ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the solihullclinic.co.uk website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some cookies are essential for the site to work. Others help us understand how the site is used, remember preferences, or support marketing.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them), first-party cookies (set by our website), or third-party cookies (set by other services we use — for example, analytics tools).

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to make the website work properly and securely, remember your preferences (where applicable), understand how visitors use our pages (so we can improve the site), and measure conversions (for example, when someone submits a booking or enquiry form).

3. Cookie categories we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.

Analytics / performance cookies

These help us understand website traffic and usage so we can improve performance and content.

Functionality cookies

These remember choices you make (for example, preferences) to provide a more personalised experience.

Marketing / targeting cookies

These may be used to measure marketing performance and tailor advertising (where used).

4. Cookies and tools currently in use

We use Google Tag Manager to manage measurement tags on the site, Google Analytics 4 to analyse how visitors use our pages, and HubSpot to power our online booking and enquiry forms. We also use Google Search Console to understand how the site appears in search results — this does not set cookies on your device. These services may set cookies and/or use similar technologies (such as local storage).

Important: the exact cookies and their names can change over time as these services update.
