Cookie Policy

 

About Cookies

 

Cookies are small files which are sent by web servers to your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome) and can be stored on your computer’s hard drive. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser loads a website page from the same server. This process enables a web server to identify and track individual web browsers. There are two main kinds of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your browser, whereas persistent cookies remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach their expiry date. WLMSRC Healthcare uses the following cookies as this helps us to improve our website experience. By using our website you are consenting to these cookies being placed on your browser, however you can disable them using your browser settings. Details of how to do this are listed below.

 

Google Analytics cookies

 

WLMSRC Healthcare uses Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website usage by the means of cookies, which are stored on your computer.

Although these cookies are not essential to the core function of the website, they are useful in enabling the clinic practice to measure the performance of our website, enabling us to improve our online experience for patients/clients.

 

Google Analytics does not collect any personal information such as your name, address or contact details. All the information collected is anonymous. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store and use this information. Google's privacy policy is available here.

 

When you arrive on our website Google Analytics will place the following four cookies on your computer:

 

utma cookie

 

Purpose: identifying unique visitors

 

The _utma cookie helps us to identify whether you're a new or returning visitor, or how long it has been since you last visited our website. This helps us to identify what content is most useful for each type of visitor and to assess whether our website is successful at providing useful content that means people want to come back. It's what is called a persistent cookie, which means it doesn’t expire and stays on your computer unless you choose to delete it.

 

_utmb & _utmc cookies

 

Purpose: determining visitor session

 

The _utmb and _utmc cookies work together to calculate the time you spent on our website. The _utmb cookie takes a timestamp of the exact time you the patient/client entered our website, and the utmc cookie takes a timestamp of the exact time you leave the website.

Both the _utmb and _utmc cookies are 'session' cookies, and mean they expire at the end of your session.

 

The information these cookies gather helps us to understand whether pages are useful and engaging. For example, if 50 people visit a page and the average time on the page is just five seconds, we know that page is not very useful and people do not find the page interesting. If the page has an average visit time of 2 minutes we can see the content is working and can use this information to help us improve and update the content on those pages which are underperforming.

 

_utmz Cookie

 

Purpose: tracking traffic sources and navigation

 

If you reach our website via the route of a search engine, direct link, or ad that links to your page, Google Analytics stores the type of referral information in a cookie known as: the _utmz cookie. This provides us with the search term used when typed into your search engine; the site you were on before you arrived at our website; if the link used was in an email, and also the type of email you received;

if you clicked on an advert; or if you typed our web address directly into your browser. The expiration date for the cookie used is set as 6 months into the future. This cookie also gets updated with each subsequent page you visit on our website, and is therefore the cookie used to determine which pages you have visited on our site.
