This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on onlinepsychiatrist.co.uk, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files saved on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as browser storage and tracking scripts, work in a similar way. We call them all "cookies" on this page.
Your choices
When you first visit, we ask whether you allow optional cookies. No optional cookies are set, and Google Tag Manager is not loaded, unless you choose to allow them. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and you can change your mind at any time using Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. We ask again after 12 months.
