How we use cookies.
This Cookie Policy explains how SkinSurgeons ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar browser storage. Google Analytics is optional: its tag does not load and its cookies are not set unless you select Accept analytics. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures aggregated traffic and performance without cookies or local storage.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use browser storage and, with your permission, analytics cookies to:
- Remember whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics.
- Understand which pages are visited and which contact options are used.
- Measure real-user Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift.
- Improve site performance and usability using aggregated reporting.
3. Storage We Use
3.1 Analytics choice: We save your granted or denied choice in local storage. This prevents the site asking the same question on every page. It does not identify you and is not sent to Google.
3.2 Google Analytics 4: If you accept analytics, we load GA4 web
stream G-BPEE5TXBKH. We disable Google Signals and advertising
personalisation, remove unapproved URL parameters, and do not send enquiry responses,
medical form fields, names, phone numbers, or email addresses.
3.3 Cloudflare Web Analytics: Cloudflare provides aggregated page and real-user performance reporting without using cookies or local storage. It runs independently of the optional Google Analytics setting and does not receive enquiry answers or medical form content.
3.4 External services: Google Maps, Trustindex reviews, the enquiry
chat, and Typeform provide visible site functionality and may use their own storage.
Typeform is deferred until after the initial page render and can load sooner when
its enquiry interface is opened. The other integrations are described in our
Privacy Policy.
4. Managing Cookies
Use Change analytics choice below to accept, reject, or withdraw
Google Analytics consent. Withdrawing removes GA cookies that are accessible to this
site and stops Google Analytics on the reloaded page. Cloudflare Web Analytics does
not set a cookie or local-storage preference for this control to remove.
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish — for details, see
aboutcookies.org.
You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most
browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to
manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and
functionalities may not work.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes
by posting the new Cookie Policy on our website. You are advised to review this Cookie
Policy periodically for any changes.
