Cookie Policy
Version 1.0 · Last updated 30 July 2026
This site sets almost nothing. What follows is the complete list, what each item does, and how to change your mind. Read alongside our Privacy Notice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, do much the same thing. They are used to make sites work, remember preferences, and tell site owners how their site is being used.
Our approach
By default, this website sets only what is strictly necessary for it to function and to remember your cookie choice. Anything optional — currently just analytics — is set only after you have actively accepted it, in line with the UK GDPR and regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
Declining changes nothing about how the site works for you. There is no dark pattern here: the decline button is as easy to press as the accept button, we do not ask again on every page, and we do not treat "keep scrolling" as consent.
Strictly necessary
These do not require consent because the site cannot work properly without them.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
verada_consent |
First-party local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies, so we do not ask again on every visit. | 12 months |
verada-theme |
First-party local storage | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark version of the site. | Until cleared |
verada_last_send |
First-party local storage | Records the time of your last contact-form submission, purely to rate-limit automated spam. Contains a timestamp and nothing else. | Until cleared |
Analytics — only with your consent
We do not currently operate analytics on this site. If and when we do, the tags will load only after you accept, and this table will list exactly what they set before they are switched on.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so we can measure how the site is used in aggregate. | Up to 13 months |
_ga_<id> | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for analytics measurement. | Up to 13 months |
Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand which pages are useful. Google may process it on servers outside the UK — see International transfers.
Third parties that see your request
Two services receive technical information simply because your browser contacts them when a page loads. Neither sets tracking cookies on this site.
- Vercel this site is served by Vercel Inc., which processes request logs for delivery, security and performance.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces, and receives your IP address when your browser fetches them. We intend to self-host these fonts to remove that transfer.
- Cloudflare Turnstile, where enabled on the contact form, runs a spam-verification check. It is designed not to use cookies for cross-site tracking.
Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time. Withdrawing consent stops any new analytics cookies being set; you can clear existing ones through your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
Links to other sites
Where we link out — for example to LinkedIn or a university partner — those sites set their own cookies under their own policies once you leave ours. We have no control over them.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy whenever what we set changes. Questions to privacy@verada.health.
