4. Cookies and Consent Choices

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for website operation, consent management, analytics, and advertising measurement.

Cookies used on the website may fall into the following categories:

Necessary cookies

These cookies are required for functions such as website security, consent management, and basic website operation. They cannot always be disabled through our consent tool because the website may not function properly without them.

Analytics cookies

With your permission, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. This includes information such as pages visited, traffic sources, device type, and website interactions.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Advertisement cookies

With your permission, advertising cookies and similar technologies help us measure advertising results, understand whether visitors take relevant actions after seeing an advertisement, and improve campaign delivery.

We use the Meta Pixel for this purpose.

When you first visit the website, you can:

Accept all cookies
Reject nonessential cookies
Manage individual cookie categories

Rejecting nonessential cookies does not prevent you from accessing the website. Your selection is stored using CookieYes so the website can remember and respect your choice.

You can change or withdraw your consent later through the Cookie Settings option available on the website. You may also delete or restrict cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect certain website features.

5. Analytics and Advertising Technologies

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor behavior. Depending on your consent choices, Google Analytics may collect technical information, usage information, and online identifiers through cookies or similar technologies.

Google may process this information under its own privacy terms. You can learn more from Google’s explanation of how it uses information from websites and apps.

Meta Pixel and Conversions API

We use Meta Business Tools, including the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API, to measure website activity and the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook and Instagram.

Depending on your interactions, consent choices, and the way these tools are configured, information sent to Meta may include:

Page views
Visits to particular website pages
Clicks on WhatsApp, telephone, contact, or trial-booking links
Website address and referring source
Event date and time
Browser and device information

Cookie or advertising identifiers, where available

The Conversions API can transmit certain event information through our website server rather than only through the visitor’s browser. Meta may process the information it receives in accordance with its own terms and privacy practices.

You can learn more through the Meta Privacy Policy.

We do not intentionally use Meta Business Tools to send medical details, payment information, passwords, government identification numbers, or other prohibited sensitive information to Meta.

CookieYes

We use CookieYes to display the cookie banner, record consent choices, manage cookie categories, and help prevent nonessential browser cookies from being placed before permission is provided.

CookieYes may use a necessary cookie or consent identifier to remember your choices and maintain a consent record. More information is available in the CookieYes Privacy Policy.
