We do not use cookies to identify you personally. We do not use cookies to serve you adverts. We do not sell cookie data to anyone.
These cookies are needed for our website to work. Without them, things like page navigation and secure areas of the site would not function properly.

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us see which pages are popular, how long people spend on the site, and where visitors come from.
The information collected is anonymised. We cannot identify individual visitors from this data. We use it only to improve our website and make it more useful for you.
We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to collect this data. Google Analytics uses its own cookies to track visitor interactions. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.
If you want to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on from Google.
Functional cookies remember choices you make on our website. For example, they might remember your preferred language or the region you are in.
These cookies make your experience smoother. They mean you do not have to re-enter information or reset your preferences every time you visit.
Some pages on our website may include content from third-party services. For example, we might embed a Google Maps link to show our pharmacy’s location or include social media sharing buttons.
These third-party services may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. We recommend you check the cookie and privacy policies of these third-party providers for more information.
Third-party services that may set cookies on our site include:
