Cookie Policy

This website barkerdentalcare.co.uk uses cookies to collect information. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them to provide the best experience for you. By using our website, you agree that we may use cookies according to this policy.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that are sent from our website and stored in your web browser's memory. They are often used to help websites work properly, because websites do not remember information from one page to the next on their own.

Cookies can also be used to track what you do within a website, or across several websites, to collect usage data and to work out your interests and behaviour. That information can then be used to show you relevant adverts.

When a website uses the CookieHub Consent Management Platform (CMP), it gives you the option to allow or refuse certain categories of cookies. This helps to protect your privacy. The most common categories are necessary cookies, preference cookies, analytical cookies, and marketing cookies.

Section 3 · What cookies are BG: LIGHT

Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies make a website work properly and are generally not used for tracking. They are often used to remember who is logged in as you move between pages or refresh the site. They can also keep track of items in a shopping cart, or help share out the load on a website.

Preference cookies
Preference cookies remember information that changes how a website looks or behaves for you. This might include your preferred language, region, currency, or colour theme.

Analytical cookies
Analytical cookies are not essential, but they collect useful information about how our website is being used. This helps us spot problems, work out what to improve, and see which content is useful. In most cases the information is anonymous, though some analytics services may collect information that could identify you. You can read Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies track users across several websites so that publishers can show relevant, engaging adverts. They are typically used by advertising networks to show you adverts that are likely to interest you.
