1. Introduction

At George's Stroke Recovery Hub, we respect your privacy and aim to give visitors clear information and meaningful choices about cookies and similar technologies.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they may be used on our website and how visitors can manage their preferences.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

3. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website.

They may help websites function, remember preferences, maintain security or provide information about how services are used.

Similar technologies, including browser storage, tracking pixels and embedded third-party services, may also process information about website visitors.

4. Categories of cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

These support essential website functions, security and the management of privacy preferences.

Consent is not required where a specific legal exemption applies.

Functional cookies

These may support optional features or remember visitor preferences, including accessibility settings.

Consent will be requested where required by law.

Analytics cookies

We intend to introduce website analytics to understand visitor numbers, popular pages, navigation patterns and website performance.

Where analytics technologies require consent, they will remain disabled until the visitor has given valid consent.

Marketing and affiliate cookies

Some advertising or affiliate services may use cookies or similar technologies to measure referrals or advertising activity.

Where consent is legally required, these technologies must not be activated before consent is obtained.

5. Cookie consent and visitor choices

We intend to provide appropriate cookie controls for technologies requiring consent.

Where consent is required, visitors must be able to:

  • Accept non-essential cookies.

  • Reject non-essential cookies.

  • Make relevant choices about cookie categories.

  • Withdraw or change consent as easily as they gave it.

Non-essential tracking that requires consent must remain inactive until valid consent has been obtained.

Essential website access should not depend on agreeing to optional cookies.

The availability and operation of cookie controls will be checked before any consent-dependent technologies are enabled.

6. Embedded videos and third-party content

George's Stroke Recovery Hub includes external videos, wildlife cameras, scenic journeys and other embedded media.

These may be delivered through third-party platforms, including YouTube, Explore.org and other video providers.

Depending on the provider and embedding method, third-party services may receive technical information or use cookies and similar technologies when content loads.

Where legally required, we will use appropriate consent measures before non-essential tracking occurs.

Some video features may be unavailable until visitors choose to load the relevant external content.

External providers maintain their own privacy and cookie policies.

7. Affiliate links

Our website contains links to external retailers, holiday providers and other commercial services.

We may earn commission from qualifying purchases made through certain links.

When visitors follow an external link, the destination website may use its own cookies and tracking technologies under its own policies.

Where affiliate tracking technologies operate on George's Stroke Recovery Hub itself, we will assess and apply any applicable consent requirements.

8. Managing cookies

Visitors can manage or remove cookies using their browser's privacy settings.

Most browsers allow users to view, delete or block stored cookies.

Where our website uses consent-based technologies, we will provide an appropriate method for changing or withdrawing consent.

Blocking certain technologies may affect optional features or third-party media.

9. Cookie inventory

The cookies and similar technologies used by the website depend on its active features, hosting arrangements and third-party services.

We will maintain an accurate inventory identifying relevant technologies, their providers, purposes and storage durations.

This information will be made available through this policy or an accessible cookie settings interface.

The inventory must be checked against the technologies actually operating on the website, rather than relying solely on generic provider descriptions.

10. Planned website analytics

Website analytics are planned as part of our ongoing improvements.

They may help us understand which pages visitors use, how visitors navigate the website and how the website performs across different devices.

Before enabling analytics, we will review the provider's privacy arrangements, relevant cookies, retention settings and applicable consent requirements.

This policy will be updated with the provider and technology details once confirmed.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website features, service providers, tracking technologies or legal requirements change.

The latest revision date will appear at the top of this page.
