Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Pet Laser Therapy uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website.

They can help a website operate correctly, remember your choices and provide information about how the website is being used.

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies, which are set directly by this website.
• Third-party cookies, which are set by another organisation providing a service used on the website.
• Session cookies, which normally expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Similar technologies, such as browser storage, tags, scripts and tracking pixels, may perform related functions. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.

2. How we use cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Make the website operate correctly and securely.
• Remember your cookie consent preferences.
• Support website forms and other requested features.
• Measure website traffic and understand how visitors use the website.
• Identify which pages and content visitors find useful.
• Improve website performance, content and usability.
• Manage analytics and related website tags through Google Tag Manager.
• Communicate your consent choices to Google through Google Consent Mode.

3. Cookie categories

Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies support essential website functions or provide a feature that you have requested.

They may include cookies used for:

• Website security and operation.
• Remembering your cookie choices.
• Maintaining technical website functionality.
• Supporting contact forms or preventing misuse.

These cookies may be used without consent where a relevant legal exemption applies. You can still block them through your browser, although parts of the website may no longer work correctly.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.

They may provide information about:

• Which pages are visited.
• How visitors arrive at the website.
• How long visitors spend on the website.
• Browser and device types.
• Approximate location.
• Website errors, performance and interactions.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Under the current configuration of this website, analytics cookies are treated as non-essential and are intended to be stored only after you have given the relevant consent through the cookie banner.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies may support optional features or remember choices that improve your experience.

The website may not use functional cookies at all times. Where they are non-essential, they will be controlled through the relevant cookie preference category.

Advertisement or marketing cookies

Advertisement or marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising, build visitor profiles, provide personalised advertising or track visitors across different websites.

Pet Laser Therapy does not assume that advertising cookies are in use simply because Google Tag Manager is installed.

Where advertising, remarketing or conversion-measurement services are added, any related cookies should be identified in the live cookie declaration and used only where the appropriate consent or other legal requirement has been satisfied.

4. Cookies currently expected on this website

The exact cookies used on the website may change when its configuration, tags, integrations or third-party services are updated.

The CookieYes scanner and cookie declaration displayed on the live website should be treated as the most current source of information about the cookies detected.

Based on the services currently identified, the following cookies are expected:

The <container-id> part of the cookie name will normally be replaced by an identifier associated with the Google Analytics property.

Cookie names and durations may differ because of:

• Website and analytics configuration.
• Consent settings.
• Browser restrictions.
• Cookie expiry overrides.
• Updates made by Google, CookieYes or other service providers.

Any additional cookies detected by CookieYes should be shown in the live cookie declaration or added to this policy where appropriate.

5. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy website tags.

Google Tag Manager is a tag-management tool. Its presence does not, by itself, mean that advertising, tracking or marketing cookies are being used.

The cookies and information processed will depend on the individual tags configured through Google Tag Manager and whether the relevant consent has been given.

Tags should be configured to respect the consent choices communicated through the website’s consent-management system.

6. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic, performance and visitor interactions.

Google Analytics may process information such as:

• Pages viewed.
• Sessions and website interactions.
• Approximate geographic location.
• Browser and device information.
• Referral source.
• General user and session statistics.

Where analytics storage has been accepted, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies including _ga and _ga_<container-id>.

These cookies help Google Analytics distinguish users and maintain session information. They do not provide Pet Laser Therapy with information that directly identifies you by name.

Analytics information is used to understand how the website performs and to improve its content, navigation and usability.

7. Google Consent Mode

Google Consent Mode is used to communicate your cookie and data-storage choices to Google tags.

The behaviour of Google Analytics and other supported Google tags may change depending on whether you accept or reject the relevant cookie categories.

When analytics cookie consent is refused, Google tags should not store analytics cookies on your device. Depending on the technical configuration, Google may still receive limited cookieless signals or consent-status information for measurement and modelling purposes.

These signals do not use analytics cookies stored on your device but may still involve limited technical communication with Google.

8. CookieYes

We use CookieYes to:

• Display the cookie banner.
• Provide controls for accepting, rejecting or managing cookie categories.
• Record and remember your consent choices.
• Communicate your choices to supported website tags.
• Help prevent non-essential cookies from being stored before the required choice has been made.
• Provide a cookie scanner and cookie declaration.

CookieYes may set the necessary cookieyes-consent cookie to remember your preferences and associate them with a consent record.

You can revisit your choices using the cookie settings or consent-preferences control displayed on the website.

9. Contact forms

The website may include a form through which you can enquire about mobile pet laser therapy.

Completing and submitting a form does not necessarily require analytics cookies. However, the website may use strictly necessary technology to:

• Send the form securely.
• Prevent spam or misuse.
• Confirm that required fields have been completed.
• Process the action you have requested.

Where an external form, spam-prevention or security service is added, it may use additional cookies or similar technologies. These should be identified by the CookieYes scan and categorised appropriately.

Information submitted through the form is covered by our Privacy Policy rather than being governed solely by this Cookie Policy.

10. Managing your preferences

When you first visit the website, the cookie banner should allow you to:

• Accept non-essential cookies.
• Reject non-essential cookies.
• Review and manage individual cookie categories.

You can change or withdraw your choices later through the cookie settings or consent-preferences control displayed on the website.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before it was withdrawn.

Changing your preferences may prevent new cookies from being stored. Cookies already present on your device may need to be removed through your browser settings.

11. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies.

The method varies between browsers, but controls are normally available within the browser’s privacy or security settings.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of this website and other websites. In particular, the website may be unable to remember your consent choices or provide certain requested features.

Browser controls operate separately from the cookie preferences provided through the website.

12. Third-party services and embedded content

The website may include third-party content or services, such as:

• Maps.
• Videos.
• Social-media content.
• Appointment or booking tools.
• External forms.
• Payment services.
• Review platforms.
• Veterinary or professional-body links.

These services may use their own cookies, scripts or similar technologies.

Where non-essential third-party content is added, it should be blocked or limited until the relevant consent has been given where required.

Third-party providers process information under their own privacy and cookie terms. Pet Laser Therapy does not control cookies placed directly by an external website after you follow a link away from this website.

13. Changes to the cookies we use

The cookies and technologies used by this website may change when:

• Website features are added or removed.
• Google Tag Manager tags are changed.
• Analytics settings are updated.
• Third-party services are introduced.
• CookieYes rescans the website.
• Service providers change their technology.

The live CookieYes cookie declaration should be reviewed periodically to ensure that it reflects the cookies currently detected.

14. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, cookies, tags, consent settings or third-party services change.

The latest version will be published on this website with the date it was last updated.
