The small print
Cookie policy.
The short version: nothing loads until you choose, and rejecting leaves the site with essential storage only. Here is the whole picture.

What this site stores
One thing: your cookie choice itself, kept in your browser's local storage under the key drbc_consent so we don't ask you on every visit. It identifies nothing about you and goes nowhere. That's the "essential storage" the banner refers to.
Counting page views
We use Vercel Web Analytics, the visitor counter built into our website host, to see which pages people read. It is cookieless: it stores nothing on your device, sets no identifier you carry between visits, and cannot follow you to other websites. It tells us that a page was read, not who read it. There is nothing to accept or reject, because there is nothing stored on your device and nothing that identifies you.
Advertising measurement, only if you accept
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram. If you choose "Accept all", we load the Meta pixel so we can see which adverts lead to enquiries, and so we are not paying to show adverts to people who have already been in touch. It sets Meta's own cookies (_fbp, and _fbc if you arrived from an advert) and reports the pages you viewed on this site to Meta, under Meta's privacy policy.
The same events are also sent from our server through Meta's Conversions API, which is the same information by a more reliable route, not extra information.
What we deliberately do not send: your name, email address, phone number, or anything describing an enquiry, a treatment you looked at, or your health. We accept a lower measurement accuracy in exchange for that, and it is the right trade for a medical clinic.
If you choose "Reject non-essential", none of this loads and no advertising cookies are set. You can change your mind at any time using "Manage cookies" in the footer.
Third-party content, the Google map
Our contact blocks include an embedded Google map. It loads only if you choose "Accept all", when it loads, Google may set its own cookies and receives your IP address, under Google's privacy policy. If you reject, the map stays off and the "Open in Google Maps" link still works, you lose nothing.
Third-party content, the booking diary
Our booking page embeds the clinic's live diary, run by Phorest, the appointment system the clinic uses. It loads only on that page, opening the diary is the service you're asking for when you go there. Inside the embed, Phorest sets the cookies it needs to hold your booking session, shows its own notice for anything beyond that, and processes what you enter under Phorest's privacy policy. Prefer not to use it? Call, email or WhatsApp the clinic instead, booking works just the same.
What this site does not do
- Nothing at all until you choose, no advertising cookie is set before you accept.
- We never send Meta your name, contact details, or anything about your health or the treatment you were reading about.
- No fingerprinting, and we do not sell or share your information with data brokers.
- The page-view counter is anonymous and cookieless, and runs whether you accept or not.
Change your mind
Use "Manage cookies" in the footer of any page, it clears your stored choice and asks again. Your browser's site-data settings can do the same.

The consultation is the product. The doctor reads your face and tells you what it needs, what it doesn't, and what would actually produce the result you're imagining.
