Cookies

This site doesn't set any. Not one — not for analytics, not for advertising, not even to remember that you've been here before.

Last updated [TO CONFIRM — set to the date this goes live].

Which is why there's no consent banner You've almost certainly clicked through one of those on the way here. There isn't one on this site because there's nothing to consent to. A banner that asks permission to set no cookies would be theatre.

What that means in practice

A cookie is a small file a site asks your browser to keep, usually so it can recognise you on the next page or the next visit. This site is a set of static pages. It has no login, no basket, no personalisation, and no analytics, so there is nothing it needs to remember about you between one page and the next.

Nothing is written to your browser's local or session storage either, which is the other common way sites keep track of people. You can check: open your browser's developer tools on any page here and look at the storage tab. It's empty.

The one thing that does reach outside

The two typefaces this site uses are served by Google Fonts. That doesn't set a cookie, but it is a request to Google's servers, so Google receives your IP address and browser details as part of sending the fonts back. It's the only third-party request a page on this site makes.

I'd rather it didn't happen at all, and serving the fonts from this site instead would remove it. If that changes, this page changes with it.

Forms

The enquiry and newsletter forms don't use cookies either. They collect what you type and nothing more — what happens to that is in the privacy notice. The spam trap on both forms is a hidden field, not a cookie and not a CAPTCHA, so nothing is watching how you move or type.

Links away from here

Some pages link out — to Amazon for the book, to Dental Education Studios for the course, to JotForm for study club registration. Once you follow one of those you're on someone else's site under their rules, and they will almost certainly set cookies. Their notices cover that, not this one.

If this ever changes

If analytics is added later — and there's a reasonable argument for knowing which pages dentists actually read — this page gets rewritten and a proper consent banner appears with it, because analytics cookies need your agreement before they're set, not merely a notice afterwards. Until you see that banner, you can take this page at face value.

Controlling cookies generally

Nothing to control here, but for the rest of the web: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its privacy settings, and aboutcookies.org ↗ explains how, browser by browser. Blocking cookies entirely will break a great many sites. It won't break this one.
