Privacy and cookies

In providing your dental care and treatment, we ask for information about you and your health. Occasionally we may also receive information from other providers who have been involved in your care.

Our privacy notices describe the type of personal information we hold, why we hold it, and what we do with it. Each opens in a new tab:

• Privacy Notice for Patients (PDF)
• Privacy Notice for Children (PDF)
• Privacy Notice for Staff (PDF)
• Patient leaflet: how we use your personal information (PDF)

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet or phone when you visit a website. They can’t harm your device, and we don’t store personally identifiable information such as payment details in any cookie this site creates.

• Essential cookies — Needed for the site to work, including remembering your cookie choice and our online forms. These can’t be switched off.
• Analytics cookies — Remember how you found our website (for example a search, an advert or a link on another site) and the pages you looked at, so that if you get in touch through the website we can see what helped; this is saved with your enquiry. We also use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are viewed. Nothing is collected unless you agree.
• Functional cookies — The Google Map on our Contact page. Google sets its own cookies when the map loads, so the map appears only if you allow functional cookies or click “Show the map”.

We also count visits with Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused service that uses no cookies and collects no personal information, so it isn’t one of the cookie choices. It tells us only things like how many people visited and which pages they looked at.

You choose the optional ones on your first visit and can change your mind at any time in Cookie settings (also at the foot of every page).

Analytics — our own cookies, only if you allow them

Our own cookies, set only if you allow analytics cookies, that remember how you found this website. They are never shared with anyone else, and they are removed if you withdraw your consent.

When you allow analytics cookies, this website remembers how you found it: the campaign or advert you clicked, the search engine or website that sent you, the address of the first page you saw (without anything you typed into it) and how many times you have visited, and which pages you looked at during your visit. It keeps this on your device in its own cookies (cmvt_visit, cmvt_first, cmvt_last, cmvt_ids) for up to 90 days after your last visit, and the pages of your current visit in your browser’s local storage (cmvt_path). If you withdraw your consent, the cookies are removed. If you send us a form, or tap one of our phone numbers, email addresses or WhatsApp links, this information is saved with it so we know which of our marketing works. If Google Analytics is running on this website with your consent, its visitor ID is saved with your form too, so the enquiry can be matched to the visit. None of this is sold or shared.

You can restrict, block or delete cookies for this or any website through your browser settings — each browser is different, so check its Help menu. More information is available at aboutcookies.org.
