What are cookies?
Cookies and local storage are small pieces of information saved by your browser. Some are essential for a site to work; others help understand how visitors use it.
What we use
We use one strictly necessary item to remember your cookie choice. With your consent, we also use Microsoft Clarity, an analytics service that helps us understand how visitors use our site (for example, which pages are viewed and how people navigate) so we can improve it. Clarity is only loaded if you choose "Accept", and it is configured with advertising storage turned off. If you choose "Decline", Clarity is never loaded.
| Cookie / Storage Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| addingham-dental-care-cookie-consent | Addingham Dental Care | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner isn't shown again | Strictly necessary (local storage) | Until cleared |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Keeps a unique visitor ID and Clarity settings | Analytics (consent required) | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Links page views into a single visit | Analytics (consent required) | 1 day |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity | Identifies a first-time Clarity visit across sites using Clarity | Analytics (consent required) | 1 year |
| MUID | Microsoft | Identifies unique browsers visiting Microsoft services | Analytics (consent required) | 1 year |
Microsoft processes Clarity data in line with the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Managing cookies
You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. You can also clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings — usually under "Privacy" or "Site data" in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Clearing site data will also reset your consent choice, and the banner will appear again.
For how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
