Cookies

This site does not use cookies

No cookies, no tracking pixels, no analytics, no advertising tags, and nothing stored on your device when you read these pages. That is why you have not been asked to accept anything.

How we know, rather than assume

  • There is no cookie-setting code anywhere in the website.
  • No page returns a Set-Cookie header. This was checked against the built site, not inferred from the source.
  • The database client the clinic pages use is configured not to persist a session, so the library it comes from has nothing to store either.
  • There is no analytics package, no advertising tag and no third-party script of any kind on any page.

This page is about the website you are reading, which is the thing cookie law is concerned with. The app is a separate question with a separate answer: it counts how many cycles reach each stage, and it can record how you move around the screens if you switch that on. Neither one stores anything on your device, which is why there is still no banner. The privacy notice covers both.

Why there is no banner

UK law requires your consent before a site stores anything non-essential on your device. Nothing is stored, so there is nothing to ask you about. A banner asking permission to do nothing would be theatre.

What would change this

If we ever add something that does store data on your device, this page changes first and a real consent choice appears with it. We would rather commit to that here, where you can hold us to it, than leave the question open.

The app is a different question

The Nova app stores your sign-in on your own device so that you are not asked to log in every time you open it. That is a technical necessity of being signed in rather than a tracking cookie, and it never leaves your device except to authenticate you. Everything Nova records about you is covered in the privacy notice.
