How we use cookies on our website
1. What Are Cookies?
Last updated: August 2026
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.
Cookies help us understand how you use our website, remember your preferences, and improve your experience during future visits.
2. How We Use Cookies
Park Dental Care uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: to enable essential website functionality (booking forms, contact forms); to store your cookie consent preference; and — only if you have given consent — to understand how visitors use our website using Google Analytics, and to display our patient review badge using Working Feedback. We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing campaigns, or personalised recommendations.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential / Functional — set automatically to make the site work. Cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
• park-cookie-consent (localStorage) — stores your analytics consent choice. Persistent until cleared.
Analytics (consent required) — only set after you accept cookies.

4. Third-Party Cookies
Three third-party services load cookies or similar data on this site, both only with your consent: Google Analytics (operated by Google LLC) analyses how visitors use our website — visit policies.google.com/privacy for Google's privacy policy; and Working Feedback displays our patient review badge — visit workingfeedback.co.uk for their privacy policy. Meta Pixel (operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd) — used only with your consent to measure the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook and Instagram, and to build retargeting audiences. Visit facebook.com/privacy/policy for Meta's privacy policy. Meta may use this data to serve you relevant ads on their platforms. We do not embed YouTube, Vimeo, or social media sharing buttons that set cookies.
5. How Long Do Cookies Last?
park-cookie-consent (localStorage) — persists until you clear your browser data or change your preference on this page.
_ga (Google Analytics) — 2 years. _gid (Google Analytics) — 24 hours. _gat (Google Analytics) — 1 minute.
Working Feedback — session only.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Our consent banner — when you first visit the site, a banner appears at the bottom of the page asking whether to accept or decline analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser and respected on all future visits.
Change your preference at any time — use the preferences panel above (on this page) to accept or withdraw consent. The change takes effect immediately: accepting loads the analytics scripts; declining removes them.
Browser settings — you can also clear all cookies and local storage through your browser settings (Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data; Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data). This resets your consent preference and the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Your preferences
Manage cookie consent
Current status: Not yet set — the consent banner will appear on your next visit
Declining analytics means Google Analytics and Working Feedback will not load on this device. Essential site functions — booking forms, contact forms — are not affected by this choice.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information.
