Cookies required for the proper functioning of the site

HealthUnlocked requires two types of cookies for the proper functioning of healthunlocked.com:

  • Authentication cookies help us track when you sign in, so we know that we can display the content only visible to you. The cookie also allows you to be signed in automatically when you come back after an extended period of inactivity.
  • Session cookies allow us to maintain a continuous flow between different pages, storing vital information for faster access, without the need to ask for the same information every time.

These are known as first party cookies and you can control them directly from your browser (described above). Please note: by disabling our cookies you will not be able to access certain areas or features of the site.

Tracking cookies

HealthUnlocked uses Google Analytics to help us understand how our site is being used, and how we can improve based on these statistics. Because these are also first-party cookies, you can manage them in the same way as HealthUnlocked ones.

Third-party cookies

When you share information on the site with other social networks, their cookies will record that you have done so. If you would like to disable this, you need to disabled cookies from their sites.

Sometimes, YouTube videos are posted on the site. If you view these posts your preferences for YouTube are recorded and stored.
