Only necessary cookies belong on this website.

Cookies can support necessary website functions, remember choices, measure use or enable advertising. Similar technologies can store information or access information already held on a device even when they are not called cookies.

The purpose matters. Technologies needed to provide a service someone requests are treated differently from optional analytics, advertising or personalisation technologies.

The two cookies listed above are set by the Azure hosting layer when the website is requested. They contain technical routing identifiers rather than medical records or information entered into a marketing-site form.

They are session cookies with no stated persistent expiry. Browsers normally remove session cookies when the browser session ends, although browser restoration behaviour can vary.

The current Azure routing cookies are classified as strictly necessary to deliver the requested website. Tibacare therefore does not currently display a consent banner or set a cookie to remember an optional-cookie preference.

This is not consent inferred from continuing to browse. If optional cookies or similar technologies are introduced, they must remain off until the appropriate choice has been provided and recorded.

When a page is requested, the hosting service necessarily receives technical information such as an IP address, request time, requested resource and browser or device information. Security and operational logs may also be generated by the deployed platform.

That server-side processing is not the same as storing a cookie or browser-storage value on your device. Our Privacy Policy explains how that information is used, including the words you type into the Health & Insights search.

Health & Insights articles link to other websites, such as the World Health Organization, the NHS, research databases and device manufacturers. Nothing from those websites loads on our pages, and article photographs are served from this website.

If you follow a link, the other website may set its own cookies. Its own cookie and privacy policies then apply.

Most browsers allow you to inspect stored cookies, remove them or block some or all cookies through browser settings. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.

Blocking strictly necessary routing cookies may make website delivery less reliable. Tibacare does not currently offer a separate preference control because there are no audited optional cookies to manage.

This policy covers the public marketing website only. If you follow a link into a separate Tibacare application or another service, that destination may use authentication, security, session or preference technologies needed for its own journey.

Those technologies are not included in this marketing-site inventory. The relevant service should provide information appropriate to its own use before optional technologies are enabled.
