Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Health News Daily (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on healthnewsdaily.co.uk (“the Website”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.
This policy complies with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA).
This policy was last updated on 19 March 2026.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage.
How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal number of cookies on this Website. Specifically:
Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access and load balancing. These cookies are set by our hosting infrastructure and content management system. They do not collect personal information, do not track your browsing activity, and do not require your consent under PECR.
Cookies We Do Not Use
Analytics Cookies: We do not use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics service. No analytics cookies are set when you visit our Website.
Advertising or Marketing Cookies: We do not use any third-party advertising networks. No advertising or marketing cookies are set when you visit our Website. Any promotional content that may appear on our site is served internally and does not involve cookies or tracking of any kind.
Social Media Tracking Cookies: We do not embed social media tracking widgets or pixels that would set cookies on your device.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not allow any third-party services to set tracking, analytics or advertising cookies on our Website.
Why We Do Not Display a Cookie Consent Banner
Most websites display a cookie consent banner (also known as a cookie pop-up) because they set non-essential cookies — such as analytics, advertising or tracking cookies — which require your consent under PECR.
Because our Website uses only strictly necessary cookies, which are exempt from the consent requirement under PECR and the DUAA 2025, we are not required to display a cookie consent banner. This is why you do not see one when you visit our site.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future (for example, analytics or advertising cookies), we will update this policy and implement a cookie consent mechanism before doing so.
Cookie List
Below is a summary of the cookies that may be set on our Website:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session / hosting cookies | Strictly Necessary | Enable core website functionality, load balancing and secure access | Session / up to 24 hours | No |
We will update this table if we introduce any new cookies.
Managing Cookies
Although we do not set non-essential cookies, you can still control all cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.
