Cookies on Debbie Ellis Health Hub: What They Are and Why They Matter
When you visit our site you might have seen a pop‑up asking about cookies. It isn't just a random ask – it’s the law and a way to keep your browsing experience smooth. In plain terms, a cookie is a tiny piece of data that a website stores on your device. It helps the site remember things like your language preference, login status, or which articles you liked.
Why We Use Cookies
We use three main types of cookies:
- Essential cookies – needed for the site to work. Without them you couldn't log in or add a post to your reading list.
- Performance cookies – collect anonymous stats about which pages get the most visits. This tells us what content you enjoy so we can create more of it.
- Targeting cookies – used by third‑party partners to show you ads that are relevant to your health interests. You can turn these off if you prefer not to see tailored ads.
All cookies we set follow strict data‑protection rules. We never sell your personal information, and we keep any data we collect secure.
How to Manage Your Cookies
You have full control. Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies in the settings menu. Here’s a quick guide:
- Open your browser's settings (usually under “Privacy” or “Security”).
- Find the “Cookies” or “Site Data” section.
- Select “Clear data” to delete existing cookies or choose “Block third‑party cookies” to stop new ones from being set.
- If you want to keep essential cookies but stop the rest, look for “Custom” or “Advanced” options and adjust accordingly.
After you change settings, you might need to refresh the page for the changes to take effect. If you block all cookies, some features – like saving your favourite articles – may stop working.
We also provide a simple cookie‑preference banner at the bottom of each page. Click “Accept All” if you’re happy with the default setup, or click “Manage Settings” to pick and choose which categories you allow.
Got questions? Drop us a note through the contact form. We’ll explain any part of our cookie policy in plain language, no tech jargon needed.
Bottom line: cookies help us give you a better, faster, and more personalized health experience. You decide how much you want to share, and we respect that choice.
