Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Antler Clinic (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our websites.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect and use personal information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, tablet or mobile device. They allow websites to function properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website and, where permitted, provide embedded content and other services.
Some cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate and secure the website;
- remember your cookie choices and website preferences;
- understand how visitors use the website;
- identify technical problems and improve website performance;
- support website forms and communications;
- display third-party content, including videos and maps; and
- measure the effectiveness of our website and marketing, where applicable.
Except for cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function, we will only place cookies on your device where you have given your consent through our cookie banner.
Types of cookies we use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work correctly and cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tool.
They may be used to:
- remember your cookie choices;
- maintain website security;
- enable basic website functionality;
- balance website traffic; and
- allow forms and other essential features to operate.
We do not require consent to use cookies that are strictly necessary, although we still provide information about them.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to provide additional features and remember choices you make.
They may be used to:
- remember website settings or preferences;
- enable embedded videos;
- display interactive maps; and
- support other third-party website features.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they will only be used after you provide consent.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how people use the website. They may collect information such as:
- which pages are visited;
- how visitors arrived at the website;
- how long visitors spend on particular pages;
- which links or buttons are used;
- approximate location and device information; and
- whether visitors encounter technical errors.
We use Google Analytics 4 to produce reports about website use and performance. Google Analytics commonly uses cookies including _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish users and maintain session information. Google’s default duration for these cookies is two years, although browser settings and our configuration may reduce this period.
Google Tag Manager helps us manage website tags and control when analytics and other tools are activated. Analytics storage should remain denied until the visitor provides the appropriate consent.
Where HubSpot website tracking is active, HubSpot may use analytics cookies such as __hstc, hubspotutk, __hssc and __hssrc. These cookies may be used to identify website sessions, understand website activity and associate a visitor with information they submit through a form.
Advertisement and Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be used to measure marketing activity, understand visitor interests or provide content that is more relevant to visitors.
They may also be placed by third-party services used on the website, including embedded Google or YouTube content.
These cookies will not be activated unless you provide consent. If no cookies or services are listed under this category in the Cookie Preferences panel, we are not currently using cookies in this category.
Third-party services
Our website may use services provided by third parties, including:
- Google Analytics 4
- Google Tag Manager
- Google Maps
- YouTube
- HubSpot
These providers may process information about your device and your interaction with the website when their services are activated.
Embedded videos and maps should be prevented from placing non-essential cookies until you have provided the relevant consent or chosen to activate the content.
The current cookies associated with each provider, together with their purpose and duration, are available through the Cookie Preferences panel.
Detailed cookie list
You can view the current list of cookies used by this website by selecting Cookie Preferences and expanding each category.
The list should show:
- the name of the cookie or similar technology;
- the organisation providing it;
- its purpose;
- whether it is strictly necessary or optional; and
- how long it remains on your device.
The list may change as website features and third-party services are updated. We will update this policy and our cookie preference tool where our use of cookies changes materially.
Managing your cookie choices
When you first visit the website, you can:
- accept all optional cookies;
- reject all optional cookies; or
- choose individual categories through View Options.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting Cookie Settings in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any use of information that took place before consent was withdrawn.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain parts of the website function.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies, website tools or third-party services we use.
