Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, can perform comparable functions. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.

Cookies currently in use
The website’s Privacy Preference Center provides the most current list of cookies detected on the site, including their provider, purpose and duration where available. You can open it through the cookie settings or privacy preferences link on the website.
The cookies used can change when website features, analytics tools, embedded content or advertising services are added, removed or updated. We review the cookie list periodically and update this policy where necessary.
First-party and third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by the Alphamed Scotland website. Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose service appears on or supports the website, such as an analytics, embedded media, mapping, security or advertising provider.
Third parties may process information collected through their technologies under their own privacy and cookie policies. Our consent controls are intended to prevent non-essential cookies from being activated unless you have chosen to allow them.
Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit the website, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and, where available, choose which categories to allow. Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without consent because they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by reopening the Privacy Preference Center. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking all cookies may affect website security, functionality or your ability to use certain features.
Personal information
Some cookie identifiers and related website usage information may be personal data. Where non-essential cookies involve personal data, we generally rely on your consent. Further information about how we use personal data and your data protection rights is available in our Privacy Policy.
We do not use website cookies to store information from medical records or clinical forms. If an external booking, recruitment or other service opens from our website, that provider may operate its own cookies and privacy information.
How long cookies remain on your device
Some cookies last only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close it. Others remain for a defined period or until you delete them. The duration of individual cookies is shown in the Privacy Preference Center where this information is available.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the website, the technologies we use or applicable law and guidance. The latest version will be published on our website and the ‘Last updated’ date will be changed.
