Cookie policy
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. This page lists the ones this site uses, all of which exist to make it work rather than to watch you.
There is no advertising or analytics tracking on this site. We set no cookies for marketing, and there is no third-party tracker following you between pages.
What is set, and why
Only if you use the basket
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
woocommerce_items_in_cart |
Tells the pages whether your basket has anything in it, so the header can show a count. | Until the browser closes |
woocommerce_cart_hash |
Notices when the basket has changed, so a cached page does not show a stale total. | Until the browser closes |
wp_woocommerce_session_* |
Links your browser to the basket held on our server. Without it the basket cannot persist between pages. | 2 days |
Only if you start a prescription before signing in
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
sc_rx_visitor |
Holds on to what you chose so the selection survives creating an account, confirming your email, and signing in. It is a random identifier — it carries no name, no medication and no health information. | 24 hours |
Only if you have an account and sign in
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
wordpress_logged_in_*, wordpress_sec_* |
Keeps you signed in and proves each request is yours. Set by WordPress, which the site runs on. | Session, or 14 days if you asked to be remembered |
wp-settings-* |
Remembers small interface preferences. | 1 year |
Requests to other companies
Some pages load files from third parties. These are not cookies, but they do disclose your IP address to the company serving the file, so they belong on this page:
- Google Fonts — the typefaces the site is set in, on every page.
- Google Maps and Google Places — only on pages showing our coverage map or Google reviews.
Turning them off
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually under Settings → Privacy. Two things to know before you do:
- Blocking cookies for this site will stop the basket working and stop you staying signed in. Nothing here is optional decoration — there is no set to decline that would leave the site fully functional.
- You can still browse the whole catalogue and every price with cookies blocked.
Changes
If we add anything that sets a cookie, it will be listed here first. Last updated: 7 September 2026.
