1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how DrKhanofHarleyStreet.com uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and use this website.
Cookies help websites operate effectively and, where appropriate, can provide information about how visitors interact with a website.
We are committed to using cookies responsibly and transparently and to providing visitors with appropriate control over non-essential cookies.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how personal information is collected, used and protected.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.
They can perform a variety of functions, such as enabling a website to operate correctly, remembering visitor preferences and helping website operators understand how their website is being used.
Some cookies remain on your device only while you are visiting the website, while others may remain for a specified period or until they are deleted.
3. How We Use Cookies
DrKhanofHarleyStreet.com may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- ✓Enable the website to function correctly.
- ✓Maintain the security and integrity of the website.
- ✓Remember preferences and cookie choices.
- ✓Support website forms and other functionality.
- ✓Understand how visitors navigate and interact with the website.
- ✓Identify technical issues and improve website performance.
- ✓Measure website usage where appropriate.
We aim to use only those cookies that are reasonably necessary and appropriate for the operation and improvement of the website.
4. Essential Cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly.
These may be used for purposes such as:
- ✓Website security.
- ✓Maintaining website functionality.
- ✓Processing forms.
- ✓Remembering privacy or cookie preferences.
- ✓Protecting the website against malicious or automated activity.
Because these cookies are necessary to provide the website or a service specifically requested by the visitor, they may not require consent in the same way as non-essential cookies.
Disabling essential cookies through your browser may affect how the website functions.
5. Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use DrKhanofHarleyStreet.com. Google Analytics is provided by Google and uses first-party cookies, including _ga and _ga_*, to distinguish visitors and sessions and to measure how the website is used.
Analytics helps us understand:
- ✓Which pages are visited most frequently.
- ✓How visitors navigate between pages.
- ✓How long visitors spend on parts of the website.
- ✓Whether visitors encounter technical problems.
- ✓How the website performs across different devices.
We also record when a consultation enquiry form is submitted successfully, so that we can understand whether the website is helping visitors get in touch. This event does not include the content of your enquiry.
Analytics cookies are optional. Where the applicable regional settings require your permission, the Google Analytics tag is not loaded until you allow analytics. In regions where a choice is not required before optional services may run, analytics may operate unless you opt out, and you can change your choice at any time.
Information obtained through analytics is used to understand and improve the website rather than to identify individual visitors unnecessarily. Google's handling of this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
5.1 Your Current Cookie Permissions
The information below reflects the optional services configured for this website and the permissions that currently apply to you, based on your saved choice and, where relevant, your region.
The optional services currently used on this website are Google Analytics 4 for website measurement, and Google Tag Manager, which loads and manages measurement and advertising tags from a single container. Where the applicable regional settings require your permission, these do not run until you allow them.
6. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies may be used to remember choices or preferences you make while using the website.
These may help provide a more consistent and convenient experience when you return to the website.
Where consent is required for functional cookies, they will only be activated after the appropriate choice has been made.
7. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing and advertising cookies are used to measure the results of our advertising, including Google Ads conversion measurement. They help us understand which advertising leads to enquiries through this website.
These cookies are optional and are controlled separately from analytics. They are not set, and the advertising tags that use them are not loaded, unless you have allowed Marketing / Advertising cookies.
Where you allow marketing cookies and submit an enquiry through the website, that enquiry may be recorded as a conversion for our Google Ads campaigns. If you reject marketing cookies, this conversion measurement does not take place.
8. Third-Party Cookies
Some functionality on the website is provided by third-party services. The optional third-party services currently used on this website are Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, both provided by Google. Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
Third parties may provide services such as:
- ✓Website hosting or security services.
- ✓Analytics.
- ✓Tag management.
- ✓Embedded content.
- ✓Maps.
- ✓Appointment or enquiry functionality.
- ✓Video content.
- ✓Other website technologies.
These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.
Where third-party cookies are non-essential and require consent, they should not be activated until the visitor has provided the appropriate consent.
Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices.
9. Consultation and Contact Forms
The website's “Start with a conversation” consultation form may use essential technologies required to submit information securely, prevent spam or automated submissions and ensure that the form operates correctly.
Cookies or similar technologies used solely for essential security and form functionality may be necessary for the service to operate.
Information submitted through the consultation form is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Visitors should avoid providing unnecessary or highly detailed medical information through a general website enquiry form.
10. Cookie Consent
A cookie banner appears when you first visit DrKhanofHarleyStreet.com. Cookies are grouped into three categories:
- ✓Essential — required for the website to function. Always active.
- ✓Analytics — Google Analytics 4, used to understand how the website is used.
- ✓Marketing / Advertising — used for Google Ads conversion measurement.
The banner offers Accept All, Reject Non-Essential and Manage Preferences, where you can allow or refuse Analytics and Marketing / Advertising independently.
Optional categories are never pre-selected. Nothing optional runs until you choose, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from accessing the main content of the website, and enquiring through the consultation form works either way.
Where Google tags are used, Google Consent Mode is applied. The relevant consent states for analytics storage, advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation are set to "denied" by default, and are only updated to "granted" for the categories you allow.
Your cookie choice is stored in your browser so that the website can remember it, and you will not be asked again on that device unless you clear your browser data or change your choice.
11. Changing Your Cookie Preferences
You can review or change your cookie preferences at any time by selecting Cookie settings in the footer of every page. This opens the preferences panel, where you can allow or refuse Analytics and Marketing / Advertising independently.
Changing your choice updates the Google consent states immediately. Withdrawing permission stops the relevant optional services from running on subsequent visits.
Cookies can also normally be managed or deleted through your web browser settings.
Please be aware that blocking certain essential cookies may affect the operation or functionality of the website.
12. How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends upon the type of cookie.
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.
Where non-essential cookies are used, their duration should be proportionate to their purpose.
13. Personal Information
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of information that constitutes personal data.
Where this occurs, that information will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation and our Privacy Policy.
We do not sell personal information collected through the website.
14. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes to:
- ✓The cookies or technologies used by the website.
- ✓Website functionality.
- ✓Third-party services.
- ✓Legal or regulatory requirements.
The latest version will be published on DrKhanofHarleyStreet.com, together with the date on which it was last updated.
