What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your browser, for example Internet Explorer. The majority of websites, on the web, use cookies to enhance their web pages and allow functionality such as remembering that you have logged into your account.

How do we use cookies?

Our cookies are safe and can't harm your computer. We use a few cookies that may allow us to:

Provide log in and account functionality
We use a cookie to remember that you have logged in. This prevents you having to log in on every new page. This cookie also temporarily remembers individual preferences such as the page you were on before you logged in. This will allow you to log in and return back to the same page you were on which improves the website experience.

Provide an easy shopping experience
We remember what items are put into your basket which allows you to browse before purchasing. Your basket items are saved so that you can also return to them at a later point. We also use this information to work out what items are popular and which need replacing.

Collect unidentifiable visitor information
This may include the number of visits to a page or whether a mobile phone is used. This data allows Practice Plan to provide a better service as we tailor our website development around what our you and our other visitors need. If particular pages are slow to load, this information can help pin point at what time of day and the reasons why this may be happening. This collection service is provided by Google and is called Google Analytics.

Other cookies are also set which allow enhanced functionality such as:
