Cookie Policy
How Portland Body Clinic uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.
The short version
This website uses Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. It does not use advertising or profiling cookies, and it does not sell or share your information with advertisers.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see how visitors find and move around the site — which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors come from, and which buttons are used, such as booking, WhatsApp and telephone links. We use this to understand what people are looking for and to improve the website.
Google Analytics sets cookies on your device and processes information including your IP address. It is provided by Google, which acts as our analytics provider and handles that information under its own terms.
We do not use it to identify you personally, and the information you submit through the enquiry form is not sent to Google Analytics.
If you would prefer not to be included, you can block or clear cookies in your browser settings, use your browser's private browsing mode, or install Google's official browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across all sites.
What this site stores
Google Analytics cookies, as described above.
If you press 'Load map' on the contact page, your browser stores a single item (pbc-map-consent) recording that you chose to load it.
Nothing else is stored on your device by this website. No advertising or profiling technology is used.
The map on the contact page
The contact page shows a placeholder rather than a live map. The Google map is only requested once you press 'Load map'. Until you press it, no request is made to Google Maps and no Google cookie can be set by that embed.
Once loaded, the map is provided by Google and Google may set its own cookies. If you would rather not load it, the clinic's full address is printed on the same page.
Other third parties
Typefaces are served by Google Fonts. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but Google receives your IP address when a page loads.
Links to WhatsApp, our booking platform and our social media pages are ordinary links. Following one takes you to that company's own website, where its own cookie and privacy policies apply. Those services set no cookies through this website.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Doing so may affect how parts of the site work.
